6.2. Shut-Height Adjustment
The shut height is pre-set at the factory and should not require further adjustment unless it is necessary to
replace parts. Before you make any changes to the machine, contact your local Field Service Representative,
or call the Tooling Assistance Center at 1-800-722-1111.
CAUTION
NEVER attempt to adjust the shut height without FIRST trying an applicator that is known to produce terminations of the
correct crimp height. If this applicator produces correct terminations, the trouble is in the original applicator and the shut height
MUST NOT BE CHANGED.
If it is determined that the shut height must be adjusted, use the following procedure:
DANGER
To avoid personal injury, ALWAYS turn “off" the machine and disconnect the power supply to the machine before making any
adjustments. If applicator is an air-feed type, DISCONNECT air lines to valve located on the right side of the machine.
1. Check shut height as described in Paragraph 6.1.
2. If the shut height is incorrect, proceed as follows:
a. Remove the two socket head cap screws which secure the ram post adaptor. Remove the ram
post adaptor and shims. Change the shim thickness as required to adjust the shut height. Shims
contain .051-mm [.002-in.] peel-type laminations.
NOTE
If additional shims are required, they can be ordered using PN 1338618-1.
b. Re-install the ram post adaptor. Insert both screws in the ram post adaptor and place the shims
over the screws and onto the adaptor post.
c. Re-install the socket head cap screws into the ram assembly to secure the ram post adaptor. Re-
tighten the screws.
3. Repeat Steps 1 and 2 as necessary until the proper shut height is attained.
NOTE
The miniature applicator is an integrated assembly consisting of upper tooling, lower tooling, and adjustment mechanisms.
The applicator requires a fixed shut height; that is, the distance between the bottom of the ram and the base mount when the
ram is FULLY bottomed. The required adjustments for crimp height are made by using the wire and insulation discs within the
applicator. Refer to the instruction sheet supplied with the applicator for adjustment procedures.
6.3. Crimp Height Adjustment Using Precision Adjustment Mechanism
CAUTION
To avoid damaging applicator, ALWAYS return precision adjustment lever to “0" position when finished using the applicator.
1. Adjust the manual precision adjustment lever to “0" by pulling the lever away from the pivot pin. Lock
the lever in place by releasing it.
2. Install the applicator into the machine as described in Paragraph 4.2.
3. Cycle the machine to crimp three sample terminations. Check the crimp height of the samples. If the
crimp heights are not correct, adjust the crimp height according to Step 4.
4. Adjust the crimp height by moving the precision adjustment lever:
Right to increase crimp height; left to decrease crimp height (see Figure 12)
NOTE
Moving the precision adjustment lever in either direction will change the crimp height by approximately 0.010 mm [.0004 in.]
per step.
5. Repeat Steps 3 and 4 until the appropriate crimp height is attained.
CAUTION
To avoid damaging the applicator, ALWAYS return the manual precision adjustment lever to the “0" position when finished
using the applicator.
