INTRODUCTION This instruction sheet covers application, inspection and maintenance procedures for the 12 ton Crimping Head 1490745-1 (see Figure 1). This crimping head uses interchangeable crimping dies and is used to crimp the products listed in the table above. Note: This instruction sheet provides general information for the insertion of dies and the crimping procedur e. Always refer to the instructions packaged with specific die sets for specific crimpi ng instructions and for compatible products, wire ranges, strip dimensions, and application procedures. This crimping head is designed for use with Foot Hydraulic Pump PN 1583659-1, Hand Hydrau lic Pump PN 1583661-1, or Electric Hydraulic Pumps; PN 1804700-1 (115 VAC) and PN 1804700-2 (220 VAC). Warning: To avoid personal injury and potential damage to the crimp head, TE Connectivit y (TE) requires the crimp head to operate at 9,800 to 10,200 PSI [676 to 703 bar]. TE recommends using 10,000 PSI [689 b ar] TE Hydraulic Pumps as other manufacturers’ pumps may apply insufficient pressure (resulting in an inadequate crimp) or excessive pressure (resulting in failure of the head). Additionally, the TE pump must be used to maintain CE certification; if using other manufacturers’ pumps, the user is responsible for self-certification. NOTE Dimensions in this instruction sheet are in millimeters [with inches in brackets]. Illustrations and figures are for reference only and are not drawn to scale. Reasons for reissue of this Instruction Sheet are provided in Section 8; REVISION SUMMARY
12 Ton Hydraulic Crimping Head,
- DESCRIPTION Main components of the crimping head are: a “C” Head which houses the stationary die, the upper and lower die release buttons which release the dies, a cylinder which contains the head’s hydraulic chamber, a piston (ram) which holds and controls the moving die, and a quick connect/disconnect coupler ( cylinder half) which mates with the coupler on the hose or handle control to release or supply pressure. A dust cap covers the quick-disconnect coupling. DANGER To avoid injury when using hydraulic crimping equipment, observe the following precautions: DO NOT modify the crimping equipment in any way. USE ONLY dies, terminals, splices, and wire specified for the head. DO NOT perform repairs other than those specified in the instructional material supplied with the 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. CAUTION Prior to installing the head, verify that the pump and hose being used are working properly, and are adjusted to and rated at 10,000 psi. An incorrectly adjusted or rated pump/hose could result in severe tooling damage, as well as personal injury. DANGER Verify that hydraulic pressure to the hose or handle control is released and that power supply is disconnected from electric power unit, if applicable. To install crimping head, proceed as follows: 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 hand. If using Electric Hydraulic Pumps; PN 1804700-1 (115 VAC) and PN 1804700-2 (220 VAC), disconnect power unit from power supply. If using Foot Hydraulic Pump PN 1583659-1, or Hand Hydraulic Pump PN 1583661-1, depress pressure release lever. 4. DIE INSERTION AND REMOVAL (FIGURE 2) DANGER Use extreme care when operating power unit. DO NOT inadvertently actuate the tool when installing or changing dies. Personal injury could result. Install and remove dies in accordance with the Instruction Sheet packaged with each die set.
- CRIMPING PROCEDURE The following crimping procedure provides general information. Refer to instructions packaged wi th individual die sets for specific products, wire sizes, strip dimensions, positioning of terminals and splices in the dies, and crimping procedures. DANGER To prevent personal injury when operating the power unit, exercise caution while holding terminals, splices or wire near crimping area. CAUTION NEVER operate the power unit without having a crimping head attached to the handle control or crimping head coupling and, NEVER operate the head without crimping dies installed in it. 1. Insert terminal or splice in the stationary (upper) die in accordance with instructions packaged with the dies. 2. Slowly advance moving (lower) die with short, quick strokes until terminal or spli ce is secure. 3. Insert the stripped wire. 4. Cycle tool to complete crimp and remove crimped terminal. NOTE If the terminal sticks in the die after crimping, apply a rocking action to release it. 6. INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE DANGER Verify hydraulic pressure is released and power supply is disconnected before following maintenance and inspection 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 regularly scheduled intervals, to ensure the head has not been damaged during handling and use. Frequency of inspection depends upon the following: care, amount of use, and handling of the head; type and size of products crimped; degree of operator skill; and environmental conditions. 6.1. Cleaning Remove accumulations of dirt and grease on the crimping head; especially in areas where dies are insta lled and terminals and splices are crimped. Clean the entire head frequently with a clean, lint-free cloth.
6.3. Crimping Head Check-Out Procedure If the ram fails to return to the “DOWN” position after completion of a crimping cycle, the cause may be in the crimping head. To determine whether the trouble is in the crimping head or not , release pressure in the hydraulic system. If the ram retracts, the trouble is not in the crimping head. If ram does NOT retract, return the crimping head to TE for repairs. Refer to Section 7; REPLACEMENT AND REPAIR. 7. REPLACEMENT AND REPAIR Customer-replaceable parts are listed in Figure 5. A complete inventory should be stocked and contr olled to prevent lost time when replacement of parts is necessary. Order parts through your TE representative or call 1-800-526-5142, or send a facsimile of your purchase order to 1-717-986-7605, or write, or return the entire tool for evaluation and repair, with a written description of the problem to: CUSTOMER SERVICE (38-35) TE CONNECTIVITY CORPORATION P.O. BOX 3608 HARRISBURG, PA 17105-3608 Tools may also be returned for evaluation and repair. For tool repair service, contact a TE representative at 1-800-526-5136.
