NOTE
i
The adjustable wire gripper subassembly allows regulation of incoming line pressure for two reasons: 1) to prevent
insulation damage to an increased range of wire sizes, insulation types, and thicknesses; and 2) to permit retention of
larger-size wire for stripping.
6.10. Main Cylinder Speed Adjustment (See Drawing 768561)
The speed of the ram on the downward stroke is controlled by the flow control adjustment screw on power valve
(P2). This is the front screw on the front valve near port “B.” Turning the screw CLOCKWISE will slow the stroke.
The rear screw on this valve (near port “A”) controls the speed on the upstroke.
6.11. Closing Delay Adjustment for Stripping Blades (Figure 2)
The machine cover must be removed to perform this adjustment. The stripping blades must not close prior to the
closing of the wire grippers. This is controlled by the adjustment screw in the front port (P1B) of the power valve
P1 (rear of machine). If the stripping blades are closing before the wire grippers are fully closed, turn the
adjustment screw CLOCKWISE as required to slow the closing action of the stripping blades. Re-install machine
cover when adjustment is satisfactory.
6.12. Auto Mode Sensitivity Adjust
The auto mode sensitivity valve is on the right side of the machine casting. See Figure 2.The adjustment screw
is on the rear of the auto sensor. To INCREASE the sensitivity, turn screw COUNTERCLOCKWISE (1/4 to 1/2
turn from closed). To DECREASE the sensitivity, turn screw CLOCKWISE.
6.13. Stripping Mechanism Speed Adjustment (Figure 2)
The speed of the stripping mechanism on the forward stroke is controlled by the flow control adjustment screw
on the power valve, P3. The screw is on the front near Port B.
7. REPAIR AND REPLACEMENT
This section pertains to making repairs and replacing parts to maintain the machine in continuous service. The
following procedures are limited to applicator replacement, tooling replacement in the applicator, and the
replacement of machine parts that are recommended spares. Repair information contained herein applies to the
pneumatic system, and to correcting the crimp height, when required.
For repairs and replacements not covered in this section refer to the Documentation Package. A careful study of
the drawing containing the part(s) in question will help to determine the extent of disassembly required to
accomplish the repair or replacement. Following re-assembly, refer to Section 6 for adjustments necessary
before operating the machine.
When ordering replacement parts, call the Tooling Assistance Center, listed in the front of the manual.
DANGER
TO AVOID PERSONAL INJURY ALWAYS DISCONNECT POWER to the machine before performing any maintenance.
Turn off the power at the main power switch/circuit breaker. ALWAYS CLOSE LOCKOUT VALVE to disconnect air supply
STOP
from machine.
7.1. Applicator Replacement (Figure 3)
NOTE
If only the applicator ram is to be removed, it is not necessary to remove cover from machine. Just open front
door for access.
i
1. To remove applicator ram from machine, loosen four screws and lock washers securing ram cap. Pull ram
cap upward then forward until clear of machine ram, then lift out. Manually actuate feed mechanism to take
pressure off feed cam.
2. Push down lockout valve and disconnect air supply.
3. If removing lower portion of applicator, unload terminal strip as described in Section 4.
4. Ram must be fully raised.
