408-10390 Datasheet, PDF (8/18 Pages) TE Connectivity Ltd – Ocean side-feed applicators are available with either a mechanical feed, air feed, or servo feed system

408-10390
NOTE
Adjustment of the stripper may be required when moving the applicator between bench and leadmaker applications.
4. APPLICATOR LOADING AND UNLOADING
Some terminal strips require the use of a terminal lubricant. Wick-type lubricators apply lubricant to the terminal
strip as it feeds into the applicator. Terminal lubricants reduce tooling wear and help reduce damage to the
plating on some terminals. Ocean applicator lubricator assembly PN 2119955-2 is available.
CAUTION
Depending on the final use of the crimped terminal, terminal lubricators are not always recommended. To determine if your
applications warrant the use of a terminal lubricator, contact your field representative.
If your application warrants the use of a terminal lubricator, the recommended lubricant is Stoner Mechanical
Lubricant E807 available from Stoner, Inc. Call 1–800–227–5538 or visit www.stonersolutions.com.
4.1. Terminal Strip Loading
NOTE
Before loading terminal strip in applicator, make sure that the installed applicator is the right one for the terminal to be applied.
Compare the terminal part number on the reel with the numbers listed on the applicator parts list.
1. Turn off, and disconnect, the power to the machine.
2. Make sure that the ram assembly is all the way up. If necessary, hand-cycle the machine to raise the
ram. Refer to the machine customer manual.
3. Remove the applicator guard assembly.
4. Raise the stock drag by turning the drag release lever upward. Remove a length of the terminal strip
left in the applicator by grasping the terminals at the strip guide entry, raising the feed pawl, and
pulling the strip straight out of the applicator.
5. With the reel of terminals installed on the reel support, feed the terminal strip into the applicator
between the strip guides.
NOTE
Make sure that the terminal strip enters the strip guides with the terminal wire barrel first and the wire barrel open side up.
6. Raise the feed pawl, and continue to feed the terminal strip until the lead terminal is over the anvil and
the feed pawl engages the terminal in the proper position.
7. If terminals are post-feed, lift the feed pawl and pull the strip back one terminal length. The lead
terminal will then be moved over the anvil on the downward stroke of the ram assembly. Make sure
that the tip of the feed pawl is in the feed hole of the carrier strip.
NOTE
Some carrier strips have additional holes which are not used for feed purposes.
8. Hand-cycle the machine several times to make sure the applicator is properly adjusted as described in
Section 5.
9. Re-install the applicator guard assembly.
4.2. Terminal Strip Unloading
1. Cut the terminal strip one or two terminals from the end of the applicator.
NOTE
The applicator should never be unloaded unnecessarily. A section of terminal strip should always be left in the unit. Since it is
not necessary to remove the strip section for cleaning, lubrication, or repair, it should only be removed as a part of the loading
procedure.
2. If terminals are post-feed, turn the drag release lever upward to raise the stock drag, lift the feed pawl,
and move the lead terminal over the anvil.
