6.3. Gaging the Crimping Chamber
Each tool is inspected for proper die closures before
packaging. An inspection should be performed
periodically to check the tool die closures for
excessive wear.
NOTE
i
The following plug gaging information for insulation
crimping chambers is provided for customers
specifically requiring this information. If plug gaging
is not required, inspect the die closures using an
alternate procedure, i.e., performing the “Insulation
Crimp Adjustment” (see Section 5) and “Visual
Inspection” (see Paragraph 6.3).
This inspection requires the use of plug gages
conforming to the dimensions listed in Figure 7. Tyco
Electronics does not manufacture or market these
gages. for information concerning plug gages and
micrometers, refer to 408-7424.
To gage the crimping area(s), refer to Figure 8 and
proceed as follows:
1. Clean oil or dirt from the crimping chamber and
plug gage.
2. Cycle the SDE power unit until wire barrel dies
are bottomed. Do not apply additional pressure.
3. With wire barrel dies bottomed, inspect the
wire barrel crimping chamber using the proper
plug gage. Lift the spring-loaded locator up and
hold gage in straight alignment with the crimping
chamber. Carefully try to insert, without forcing,
the GO element. See Figure 8. The GO element
must pass completely through the crimping area.
4. Try to insert the NO-GO element. The NO-GO
element may enter partially, but must not pass
completely through the crimping area.
