Crimp Tool
Inspection of Crimp Depth Accuracy
Adjustment of crimp tool ist done at the factory. The ratio of crimp depth to crimp pressure
is specified for each contact. After extensive operation of the tool, crimp jaw setting
should be checked by the quality assurance personnel as described below:
- Dial position „D“ on the eccentric
- Insert wire gauge Ø 1 ± 0,02 mm through the hole
- Close handles completely
- Accurate crimp depth is guaranteed if the wire gauge can be moved
in and out without noticeable clearance
Calibration of Crimp Tool
If the inspection shows an inaccurate result, proceed as follows:
- Dial position „D“ on the eccentric dial
- Remove E-clip on the adjustment wheel with a small screw driver
- Raise the adjustment disc above the set screw
- Insert wire gauge 1 ± 0,02 mm through the hole
- Close handles
- Turn the adjustment disc until there is no noticeable clearance between jaws and wire
gauge. It should be possible to slide the wire gauge back and forth.
- To lock it into place, push the disc down with minimal pressure
- Snap E-clip in position
Maintenance
Keep the tool clean and properly stored when not in service. The joints need to be oiled
regularly and the spring clips securing the bolts have to be in place all times.
