408 - 8910 rev c 2 of 8 2. description main components of the crimping head are: a yoke which houses the indenter and retains the terminal assembly for crimping, a latch which allows pivoting of the yoke on the pivot pin (ty pically required for splice terminations), a cylinder which contains the heads hydraulic chamber, a piston (ra m) which holds and controls the indenter, and a quick connect/disconnect coupler (cylinder half) which mates with the coupl er on hose or handle control to release or supply pressure. danger to avoid injury when using hydraulic equipment, observe the following precautions: ? do not modify the crimping equipment in any way. ? use only the nest and indenter, terminals, and wire specified for the head. ? do not perform repairs other than those specified in instructional material supplied with equipment. 3. crimping head installation each crimping head is shipped with a coating of lubricating oil to prevent rust and corrosion. wipe the oil off before installing the crimping head on the power unit. note that the crimping head is shipped without oil inside the cylinder. to install crimping head, proceed as follows: danger verify that the hydraulic pressure to hose or handle control is released and that power supply is disconnected from electric power unit, if applicable. 1. thoroughly clean coupling area of handle control or hose assembly and crimping head (see figure 1). 2. remove protective dust caps from both quick connect/disconnect couplers. 3. hold hose or handle control in vertical position to prevent oil spillage. attach hose or han dle control to coupling section on head. thread properly and tighten securely. caution oil flow must be unobstructed between power unit and crimping head. verify that all couplers are fully mated and tightened. note if crimping head must be removed after being in production, pressure must be released in the hydraulic system before head is removed. if using electric hydraulic power unit 1804700 -1 or 2 , disconnect power unit from power supply. 4. nest selection (figure 2) danger to avoid personal injury, release hydraulic pressure to the hose or handle control. disconnect electric power unit from powe r supply. 1. depress the latch and open the crimping head as shown in figure 2. figure 2 latch indenter

408 - 8910 rev c 4 of 8 5. to complete the other half of the butt splice, remove and reposition the uncrimped half of the splice in the nest. insert the wire and then activate the power unit to crimp the splice. the completed termi nal or splice should be as shown in figure 5. figure 5
408 - 8910 rev c 5 of 8 7. inspection and maintenance danger verify hydraulic pressure is released and power supply is disconnected before following inspection and maintenance procedures, unless otherwise specified in the procedure. each crimping head is assembled and inspected before shipment. te connectivity recomm ends that the crimping head be inspected immediately upon its arrival at the facility of use, and at regu larly scheduled intervals to ensure the head has not been damaged during handling and use. frequency of inspecti on depends upon the following: care, amount of use, and handling of the head; type and size of products cr imped; degree of operator skill; and environmental conditions. cleaning remove accumulations of dirt and grease on the crimping head; especially in areas where dies are insta lled and terminals are crimped. clean the entire head frequently with a clean, lint-free cloth. visual inspection refer to figure 6 and proceed as follows: 1. visually inspect die closure surfaces for chipped, pitted, or flattened areas. 2. with hydraulic pressure released, inspect the assembled head for nicks, scratches, and cracks . inspect for cracks especially at the corners of the yoke and around the top of the cylinder. 3. inspect pivot pin holes and latch pin holes for wear. replace parts, as needed. figure 6 4. activate power unit. raise ram to up position. inspect flat and round surfaces of ram for galling (fretting or wear by friction), cracks, or oil leakage. release pressure and make sure that ram retrac ts smoothly. 5. if head shows evidence of galling, cracks, oil leakage, or rough cycling, return the c rimping head to te for repairs. refer to section 8, replacement and repair. note once per year, or every 7,500 cycles (whichever comes first), the hydraulic head should be returned to te for magnetic particle inspection. additionally, inspect and service the head every month or 1,000 cycles. refer to instruction sheet 408 - 89 09 . detail a see detail a
