5.1. Daily Maintenance
It is recommended that each operator of the dies be
made aware of — and responsible for — the following
three steps of daily maintenance.
1. Remove dust, dirt, and other contaminants with
a clean brush, or a soft, lint–free cloth. DO NOT
use objects that could damage the dies.
2. Make certain the dies are protected with a thin
coat of any good SAE 20 motor oil. DO NOT OIL
EXCESSIVELY.
3. When the dies are not in use, mate them and
store in a clean dry area.
5.2. Periodic Inspection
Regular inspections should be performed by quality
control personnel. A record of scheduled inspections
should remain with the dies and/or be supplied to
supervisory personnel responsible for the dies.
Though recommendations call for at least one
inspection a month, the inspection frequency should
be based on the amount of use, ambient working
conditions, operator training and skill, and established
company standards. These inspections should be
performed in the following sequence:
A. Visual Inspection
1. Remove all lubrication and accumulated film by
immersing the die assembly in a suitable
commercial degreaser that will not affect the
painted alignment dots.
2. Inspect the crimp area for flattened, chipped,
cracked, worn, or broken areas. If damage is
evident, the dies must be replaced or repaired. If
desired, you may return them for evaluation and
repair (see Section 6, REPLACEMENT AND
REPAIR).
B. Gaging the Crimping Chamber
This inspection requires the use of a plug gage
conforming to the measurements provided in Figure 8
and in Figure 9. Tyco Electronics does not
manufacture or market these gages. Gages may,
however, be purchased from:
Pennoyer–Dodge Company
6650–T San Fernando Road
Glendale, CA 91221–1017
Instructions for gaging apply to both Figures 8 and 9.
For alignment of the GO and NO–GO elements, refer
to Figure 8. Proceed as follows:
1. Mate the dies until it is evident that they have
bottomed. Hold the dies in this position.
2. Align the GO element of the gage with the
crimping chamber. Push the element straight into
the chamber without using force. The GO element
must pass completely through the crimping
chamber without using force, as shown in Figure 8.
3. Align the NO–GO element with the crimping
chamber and try to insert it straight into the
chamber. The NO–GO element may start entry but
must not pass completely through, as shown in
Figure 8.
If the crimping chamber conforms to the gage
inspection, the dies are considered dimensionally
correct and should be lubricated with a thin coat of
any good SAE 20 motor oil. If not, the dies must be
replaced or repaired before returning them to service.
For additional information concerning the use of the
plug gage, refer to Instruction Sheet 408–7424.
