CAUTION
There is a marking (vertical etched line) on the air feed housing (shown in Figure 2) to use as a visual aid to ensure that the
piston assembly is located within the limits of the air cylinder position. The feed pawl holder must be positioned to the right of
the marking. Incorrect feed pawl positioning relative to the marking may contribute to premature failure of the air feed module.
The ram continues downward, completes the crimping action, and starts back up. As it approaches the fully
raised position, the push rod drops off of the high portion of the ram mounted cam, shifting the air feed valve.
The extend side of the cylinder is then filled, moving the feed pawl and terminal strip over the anvil for the next
cycle. The exhaust control valves control the speed of the feed stroke and retract stroke.
Though all air feeds are pre-feed type, the feed cam position can be changed for use in different stroke
machines: 40 mm [1⁵/8-in.] stroke or 30 mm [1¹/8-in.] stroke (refer to Figure 5).
Note that the air feed requires a different cam than the mechanical pre-feed or post-feed.
NOTE
The ram collar needs to be installed when changing crimp tooling to prevent the ram from becoming captured. If this does
occur, the air feed assembly will need to be removed to release the applicator ram.
2.3. Applicator with Servo Feed System
With this applicator, the wire crimp height and terminal feed are accomplished by the AMP-O-LECTRIC III
servo terminator or any machine that incorporates the TE Connectivity (TE) precision controller. Refer to
409–10073.
NOTE
Some applicators will not work with the standard feed pawl in the feeder. In these cases, the special feed pawl must be used.
If originally ordered with the servo feed, the applicator will be shipped with the special feed pawl mounted to the applicator.
Each servo feed applicator comes equipped with a data chip that is part of the servo feeder latch plate (see
Figure 3). For a complete description of the data chip, refer to 409-10073. This device allows the storage of key
operating parameters that allow easy setup between terminals and also contains reference data that can be
useful for other machine setups and crimp inspection.
