408-10390 Datasheet, PDF (12/18 Pages) TE Connectivity Ltd – Ocean side-feed applicators are available with either a mechanical feed, air feed, or servo feed system

g. Using the feed-forward adjustment knob, change the feed-forward position based on the direction
and amount noted in step 4.d. The adjustments are in 0.04-mm [.0016-in.] increments or
15 degrees and can be felt as clicks during the feed-stroke adjustment knob rotation. Turning the
feed forward adjustment knob clockwise moves the feed pawl away from the anvil and turning it
counter-clockwise moves the feed pawl toward the anvil.
NOTE
When adjusting, make sure that only the feed adjustment knob turns, not the entire shaft. The backstroke adjustment knob may
have to be held stationary to prevent unintended backstroke adjustments (use a 3-mm wrench when the end cap is in place).
h. Cycle the machine back to top-dead-center, causing the feed to shift forward and feeding the
terminal over the anvil.
i. Repeat steps 4.d. through 4.h. until the terminal is centered over the slug blade.
5. To adjust the air feed speed, proceed as follows:
NOTE
The air feed speed has been set at the factory and should therefore require re-adjustment only in exceptional circumstances.
NOTE
Take extra precautions during adjustments. When the machine is manually cycled, the mechanism will move forward and
backwards once during each press stroke unless the air is disconnected.
CAUTION
Do not tamper with the detent screws on feed adjustments (see Figure 2), which were set up properly by the factory;
otherwise, damage will occur.
The feed mechanism has been adjusted at the factory to ensure that the terminal is advanced at the
lowest possible speed. In rare occasions, it is possible that the feed speed is not fast enough if the
applicator is used on a fully automatic machine. The feed speed can be adjusted by means of the two
exhaust restrictors.
NOTE
Excessive feed and/or retract speeds can cause inconsistent feeds and/or air feed module damage.
a. Open the exhaust restrictors or forward speed control and retract speed control (shown in Figure 2)
to increase the feed speed.
NOTE
The speed controls should not be fully opened to maximize feed speed. It is recommended to only open the flow control valves
two complete revolutions.
b. Loosen the locking ring, and turn the adjustment screw clockwise to decrease the speed and
counter-clockwise to increase the speed.
c. When complete, tighten the locking ring.

1. With the terminal strip properly loaded, check the position of the lead terminal over the anvil by
actuating the feeder to move the feed pawl to the extend position. The slug blade must remove the
connecting tab between lead and second terminals—without deforming either terminal.
If the lead terminal is centered on the anvil, the forward limit adjustment is correct. Proceed with
step 4. If it is not centered, continue with step 2.
2. Adjust the extend position as described in the feeder instructions in customer manual 409-10073.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 as required. When the adjustment is correct, continue with step 4.
4. Watch the feed pawl as the machine is cycled several times. It should have enough, but not too much
over-travel on the retract (stroke) to pick up the next terminal.
NOTE
At the end of the retract stroke, the feed pawl should be at the back edge of the feed hole to be used. The back stroke must
not be longer than this; otherwise, the feed pawl might not drop into the feed hole.
If the feed pawl stroke length is satisfactory, feed adjustments are complete.
