Heavy Duty Industrial (HD-I) Side-Feed Type Applicator
408-8322
NOTE
i
The applicator must be removed from the
terminating unit for this procedure. Remove the
applicator ram before proceeding.
DANGER
To avoid personal injury, turn off" the power to
the terminating unit and disconnect the power
cord before removing the applicator.
A. Front Shear Adjustment
6. PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
DANGER
To avoid personal injury, be sure power to the
terminating unit is turned off" and the power cord
is disconnected before removing the applicator
for preventive maintenance. The machine ram
should be in the raised position.
NOTE
i
Do not remove terminal strip during cleaning or
lubrication.
1. Remove the applicator as described in
Section 3, INSTALLATION and REMOVAL.
2. From the bottom of the base plate, loosen the
two screws that secure the shear holder to the
base plate.
3. Position the shear holder so that the shear is
against the anvil.
4. Tighten the screws loosened in Step 2. The
shears should freely move up and down with
minimal clearance to the anvil. A 0.025mm shim
can be used between the shear and the anvil for
proper positioning.
5. With the applicator ram replaced and the lead
terminal centered over the anvil, check that the
floating shear correctly cuts the terminal from the
carrier strip. If shearing action is not correct, check
for worn or damaged tooling.
B. Rear Shear Adjustment (Dual Carrier Strip
Product Only)
The rear shear is more likely to need adjustment
because it is affected by differences in terminal strip
widths and strip guide plate adjustments.
1. Remove the applicator as described in
Section 3, INSTALLATION and REMOVAL.
2. From the bottom of the base plate, loosen two
screws that hold the rear shear holder to the base
plate.
3. With the terminal strip inserted into applicator,
and the lead terminal centered over the anvil,
move the rear shear holder in the direction required
to obtain the proper cutoff tab.
4. Check that the shear is square to the end of the
terminal, and then tighten the holding screws.
5. Depress the floating shear and check for proper
shearing action and proper cutoff tab.
6. If necessary, repeat Steps 2 through 5 or check
for worn or damaged tooling.
6.1. Daily Cleaning
Applicators must be cleaned and lubricated after
every eight hours of operation, or when removed from
terminating unit to be stored.
DANGER
To avoid personal injury, be sure power to the
terminating unit is turned off" and the power cord
is disconnected.
1. Remove the applicator as described in
Section 3, INSTALLATION and REMOVAL.
2. Remove applicator ram from applicator by
pulling upward. It may be necessary to move feed
finger to release ram assembly. Do not remove
tooling from ram.
3. Wipe complete ram assembly with a clean, dry
cloth to remove old grease and dirt.
CAUTION
!
DO NOT CLEAN APPLICATOR WITH AIR
HOSE.
4. Check crimpers, anvil, and shear for excessive
wear or damage. If necessary, replace parts as
described in Section 7, REPAIR AND
REPLACEMENT OF PARTS.
5. Check alignment of terminal stripper and
tightness of stripper, anvil, and crimper mounting
bolts.
6. Clean applicator body. Make sure all chips, dirt,
and grease are removed. Lubricate pivot points as
described in Paragraph 6.3.
7. Lubricate ram as described in Paragraph 6.3.
8. Replace ram in applicator.
6.2. Monthly Cleaning
Applicators must be cleaned completely every thirty
days to remove all grease, oil, and dirt.
DANGER
To avoid personal injury, be sure power to the
terminating unit is turned off" and the power cord
is disconnected.
