Creating or editing a Lead / Tail process
Before creating a new process first make sure you select and load a process that is simular to the new one you
are going to make. This is because all the information is copied from the currently selected part to the new part.
Creating a new process
To enter the process setup screen click on the 3 dots next to the dropdown.
To create a new process click new, and enter the name. If your company uses standardized tooling then you can
call the process a generic name like “crimp”. If your company is using tooling that does not have a standardized
tool location then you can incorporate the name of the terminal, seal, or crimp tooling into the name of the process
for easy reference.
Overhang and stripping adjustments
Overhang:
Additional wire extending from the strip jaws. The minimum amount is determined by the strip length, you would
increase this amount so that the wire can reach into the seal applicator or terminal applicator tooling.
Return Extension:
Position of the end of the wire when it returns to the Cutter head. The larger this value the faster the machine will
run because the arm will be extended out by the time it reaches the cutter. The reason you may want the arm
retracted is to avoid hitting the terminated wire on obstacles like the seal applicator.
