6.3 Feed-finger travel adjustment

Applicators are assembled and adjusted prior to

despatch from JST and will not require adjustment by

customers. Please contact JST Technical Services

Department if you consider there is a problem with the

Pitch setting adjustment.

6.4 Crimp Height adjustment

The applicator has two dials to adjust the insulation and

wire crimp-height. The upper dial, marked with letters

A - H, is for the wire (conductor), crimp-height.

The lower dial, marked with numbers 1 - 8, is for the

insulation crimp height.

JST do not advise pad settings for wire sizes, as is the

practice of some manufacturers.

We believe that the best method to adopt is to specify

crimp-heights and adjust the dials until the desired crimp-

height is achieved.

º Wire crimp-height (conductor) adjustment.

Setting the upper dial to graduation A produces the

tightest crimp-height (lowest), and graduation H the

least tight (highest). The crimp height alters by

approximately 0.05mm per graduation, so a total

range of adjustment of 0.40mm is attainable.

º Insulation crimp-height adjustment.

Setting the lower dial to graduation 1 produces the

tightest crimp-height (lowest), and graduation 8

the least tight (highest). The crimp-height alters by

approximately 0.10mm per graduation, so a total

range of 0.80mm is attainable.

We do not state insulation crimp-heights due to the

large variation of insulation types available. The

insulation should be set as per instructed in the JST

Crimping Manual supplied with the AP-K2N crimping

machine. If you require further copies, please contact

the JST Technical Services Department.

CAUTION

When initially installing the applicator in the

press, ensure that the dials are set at H - 8 to

avoid the possibility of tooling damage.

Always check the crimp-height of the terminal by use of a

Crimp-height Micrometer because they are designed

specifically for the purpose and indicate the true crimp-

height. If you require details for the supply of a crimp-

height micrometer please contact JST Technical

Services Department.

If the applicator is not capable of achieving the desired

crimp-height by adjusting the dials, please contact the

JST Technical Services Department, because there is a

range of blocks available to alter the range of crimp

heights available. If you specify the blocks currently

installed in your applicator (see ‘Exploded view’ supplied

with applicator), we can advise you of the part no of the

replacement blocks necessary to achieve the desired

crimp-height.

Do not adjust the crimp-height by altering the shut-height

of the AP-K2N press, because it is factory set and should

only require occasional adjustment when serviced by the

JST Service Engineer.
