3. INSTALLATION AND REMOVAL OF STRAIGHT
ACTION CRIMPER (Figure 1)
Before installing the straight action crimper, refer to
customer manual 409--5862 for instructions on
installing the appropriate tool holder assembly
(including cam) on the pneumatic tool. After the
appropriate tool holder assembly has been installed,
proceed as follows:
NOTE
i
Removal is the reverse of installation.
DANGER
To prevent personal injury, ALWAYS disconnect
the main air supply and electrical supply (if
applicable) of the pneumatic tool before installing
or removing the straight action crimper.
DANGER
DO NOT operate pneumatic tool without the
straight action crimper and the proper die
assembly installed. After straight action crimper is
installed, make sure that the quick pins are
FULLY tightened to avoid personal injury and
damage to the tool.
1. Remove quick pins from tool holder assembly.
Refer to Figure 1, a typical instruction sheet
408--4105.
2. Slide the straight action crimper into tool holder
assembly, aligning the threaded holes on the
crimper with the threaded quick pin holes on the
holder.
3. After crimper is properly aligned in the tool
holder assembly, insert and tighten the quick pins.
NOTE
i
TE Connectivity recommends using
Loctite{ No. 242 removable threadlock, or
equivalent, to prevent the quick pins from
loosening.
4. CRIMPING PROCEDURES
Refer to the table in Figure 1 and check the selected
wire, loose--piece terminal, and crimping die assembly
for compatibility. Strip the wire to the length indicated
— do NOT cut or nick the wire strands.
Install the die assembly, position terminal and
wire,and perform the crimping procedure as
instructed in 409--5862, packaged with 626
Pneumatic Tool.
Make certain all surfaces of the dies are protected
with a THIN coat of any good SAE 20 motor oil. Do
NOT oil excessively.
5. MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION
DANGER
To avoid personal injury, ALWAYS disconnect air
supply from pneumatic tool before performing
maintenance or inspection.
TE recommends that a maintenance and inspection
program be performed periodically to ensure
dependable and uniform terminations.
Frequency of inspection should be adjusted to suit
your requirements through experience. Frequency of
inspection depends on:
1. The care, amount of use, and handling of the
crimping head.
2. The type and size of the product crimped.
3. The degree of operator skill.
4. The presence of abnormal amounts of dust
and dirt.
5. Your own established standards.
Each die assembly is thoroughly inspected before
packaging. Since there is a possibility of damage
during shipment, new die assemblies should be
inspected immediately upon arrival at your facility.
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:
5.3. Visual Inspection
1. Remove all lubrication and accumulated film by
immersing the dies in a suitable commercial
degreaser that will not affect paint or plastic
material.
