3.2 Insulation Support Crimp Adjustment
(Older style fixed jaw air powered crimp tools heads)
1.
The crimp tool heads for the insulated terminals and the
connectors feature an adjustable insulation support crimp to
accommodate varying wire insulation diameters (See Figure
3-4) for old style crimp tool head.
2.
The adjustment screw on each crimp head tool is set at the
factory at the M position. This setting will give the best
crimp on most wires. Two other adjustment settings are
available: S, the smallest configuration and L, the largest
configuration.
3.
Crimp a terminal or connector and inspect the insulation
support sleeve crimp or configuration. A properly crimped sleeve snugly grasps the wire insulation.
4.
If the crimp configuration is too loose, change the adjustment setting by removing the air powered crimp tool
head from the AT-200 and setting adjustment screw to the S position. Re-insert the air powered crimp tool
head into the AT-200 and crimp, and inspect the insulation support sleeve.
5.
If crimp configuration is too tight, change adjustment setting by removing the air powered crimp tool head from
the AT-200 and setting adjustment screw to the L position. Re-insert the air powered crimp tool head into the
AT-200 and crimp, and inspect insulation support sleeve.
3.3 Insulation Support Crimp Adjustment
(Newer style jaw air powered crimp tools)
For the new style crimp head tools, if the insulation part of the crimp needs to be adjusted, first loosen the M4 screw
on the bottom tool jaw, then insert a 3/32” Hex wrench (supplied) into the bottom of the lower die. See Figure 3.1. A
clockwise (CW) rotation decreases the insulation crimp while a counter-clockwise (CCW) rotation increases the
insulation crimp. After adjusting retighten the M4 screw.
3.4 Terminal Crimping
Specifications and Instructions for crimping are included with the individual air powered crimp tool heads.
