408-10390 Datasheet, PDF (15/18 Pages) TE Connectivity Ltd – Ocean side-feed applicators are available with either a mechanical feed, air feed, or servo feed system

— If front-to-back alignment is needed, lay the applicator carefully on its side, and slightly loosen the
four screws that hold the strip guide plate to the base plate. Move the strip guide plate in the
required direction until the slug blade can pass freely between the shear plates. With the slug
blade between the shear plates, retighten the four screws.
7. Set the applicator upright, and raise the ram assembly until the slug blade is clear of the shear plates.
Then, lower and raise the ram assembly several times to make sure that the slug blade moves in and
out of the shear plates freely.
8. Lift the stock drag and feed pawl, and slide the terminal strip section forward until the lead terminal is
over the anvil.
6.3. Crimper Replacement
1. Loosen the crimper bolt slightly and remove the ram assembly from applicator by pulling upward. It
may be necessary to move the feed pawl forward to release the ram assembly.
2. Remove the crimper bolt that holds the front shear depressor, front shear depressor spacer, tubular
spacer, insulation crimper, crimper spacer, and wire crimper in place on the ram assembly. Note
position of parts for re-installation.
3. Re-install the parts using the reverse of the installation procedure. The upper end of the wire crimper
must be up against shoulder of the ram assembly and the top hole on the crimper must mate with the
roll pin in the ram assembly. Tighten the crimper bolt only finger-tight.
NOTE
Insulation crimpers with legs of equal length that are identical in the front and back may be positioned with either side out. All
other insulation crimpers must be positioned with the part number facing the direction noted during removal. If new parts are
used, make sure that the part numbers agree with the numbers on the applicator parts list.
4. Put the ram assembly back into the applicator, and install the applicator in machine.
5. Lift the feed pawl and pull the terminal strip back until the lead terminal is between the strip guides.
6. Form a piece of heavy paper over the anvil, then slowly hand-cycle the machine while watching
alignment of the crimpers with the anvil. When the ram assembly has reached the bottom of the
stroke, carefully tighten the crimper bolt to a torque between 10.8 and 13.6 Nm [8 and 10 ft-lb]. The
crimpers must move freely over the anvil after the heavy paper is removed.
6.4. Air Feed Bushings, Piston Rods, and O-Rings Replacement
Air feed module rebuild kits PN 2217901-[ ] are available to replace worn air feed bushings, piston rods, and
O-rings. Call the number at the bottom of page 1 for applicable kit. For installation procedure, refer to
408-32121.
6.5. Applicator Housing to Base Plate Alignment
Each applicator is properly aligned and the base plate bolts are sealed by the factory; however, it is possible to
misalign the applicator housing from the base plate due to mishandling or dropping the applicator. If the
applicator becomes misaligned, contact a TE field service representative or order end-feed applicator
alignment gage PN 2161422-3.
When aligning the applicator, make sure to torque the base plate screws and, if needed, the gib screws to the
proper specification. The base plate screws should be torqued to 11.298 Nm [100 in.-lbs] and the gib screws
should be torqued to 5.649 Nm [50 in.-lbs].
6.6. Adjustable Crimp Height Repair
The crimp height shim can break or become dislodged under some severe operating conditions or applications.
This could cause the applicator to produce terminations with a different crimp height than specified. To correct
this, refer to Figure 11, and proceed with the following.
1. Subtract the specified nominal crimp height from the average crimp height recorded under paragraph
5.1, Wire Crimp Adjustment. This difference will be the thickness of the shim(s) (PN 2119957-1) to be
added under the spacer.
2. Remove the ram assembly from the applicator, and remove the single revolution limiter bolt.
