1. INTRODUCTION

This instruction sheet covers recommended

procedures for frame setup, tooling assembly

installation, and use and inspection of Pneumatic

Auto--Cycle Unit 91112--3. Read these instructions

thoroughly before using the pneumatic unit.

Reasons for reissue of this instruction sheet are

provided in Section 9, REVISION SUMMARY.

2. DESCRIPTION (Figure 1)

The pneumatic unit consists of a bench--mountable

frame, a ram, a guard, a sensing port, a protected

safety switch, an air hose, and a base plate.

3. SETUP PROCEDURE

1. Secure the frame to a work bench to ensure

stability during operation.

2. Connect the pneumatic unit to an air supply

that will provide and maintain pressure of 550 to

620 kPa [80 to 90 psi] to the pneumatic unit.

The air line should be equipped with a filter that

has an element with a maximum rating of

20 microns.

4. INSTALLING TOOLING ASSEMBLY (Figure 1)

The tooling assembly includes upper and lower

tooling. Refer to the instruction sheet packaged with

the tooling assembly for a description of components

and specific orientation of tooling in the pneumatic

unit.

Proceed as follows:

1. Disconnect the air supply by shifting the air

lockout valve. Apply a lock or tag to this valve per

applicable workplace safety procedures. Remove

the guard.

2. Secure the appropriate upper tooling to the ram

using the hardware included with the tooling

assembly.

3. Remove the tool stop from the base plate.

4. Slide the lower tooling into the track on the base

plate.

5. Re--install the tool stop onto the base plate.

6. Re--install the guard and reconnect the air

supply by unlocking and shifting the air lockout

valve.

5. OPERATION

Before attempting termination of any connectors,

set the ram height as described in Paragraph 7.2,

Ram Height Adjustment.

1. Set up the lower tooling, and insert the

connector and cable according to the instructions

packaged with the tooling assembly.

2. To actuate the ram, slide the lower tooling to the

rear of the base plate until the sensing port closes.

This will actuate the protected safety switch and

allow the ram to automatically cycle and terminate

the cable to the connector.

3. When the ram has moved to the top of its

motion, slide the lower tooling forward and remove

the terminated connector.

6. ADJUSTMENTS

6.1. Unit Cycle Time Adjustment

1. Remove the controls cover by removing the four

retaining screws.

2. Set the ram bottoming time by turning the

slotted adjustment screw at the top of the ram

control valve, CLOCKWISE to increase bottoming

time, COUNTER--CLOCKWISE to decrease

bottoming time. Check the operation time by sliding

the lower tooling to the rear of the base plate to

actuate the pneumatic unit.

3. Re--install the controls cover.

6.2. Ram Height Adjustment

Keep hands away from the ram if the guard is

removed and the air is connected.

If an adjustment of the ram height is required to

properly terminate connectors in the tooling installed

in the pneumatic unit, refer to Figure 2 and proceed

as follows:

1. Connect the air supply (ram will rise). Slide the

lower tooling, without a connector loaded into it,

into the pneumatic unit frame until it contacts the

sensing port (ram will descend). With the ram fully

DOWN, disconnect the air with the air lockout

valve, as described in Section 4, Step 1.

2. Measure the distance between the bottom

surface of the upper tooling and the surface of the

lower tooling inserts. Determine the closed height

dimension required according to the application

specification for the connector being used and the

instruction sheet for the tooling assembly being

used.

3. If adjustment is required, record the dimension

and direction (UP or DOWN) that the ram must be

moved.

4. Loosen the down--travel threaded stud locknut.

Turn the down--travel threaded stud locknut

COUNTERCLOCKWISE several turns. Rotate the

down--turn threaded stud CLOCKWISE to lower

the ram, or COUNTERCLOCKWISE to raise the

ram.

One full turn of the threaded stud equals

1.57 [.062] of ram height movement.

5. After the height adjustment is made, tighten the

threaded stud locknut.

6. Repeat Steps 1 and 2. If further adjustment is

required, repeat Steps 3 through 5. Continue

making adjustments until the proper height

dimension is attained.

7. If the instruction sheet for the tooling assembly

being used specifies an open height setting for the

pneumatic unit, this may be accomplished in a

similar fashion by adjusting the up--travel threaded

stud (see Figure 2) CLOCKWISE to lower the ram

open height, COUNTER--CLOCKWISE to raise the

ram open height. Disconnect the air supply as

described in Section 4, Step 1, while measuring

and adjusting the ram height. Reconnect the air

after each adjustment to make sure that the ram is

in the full up position, then disconnect the air again

for measurement.

One full turn of the up--travel threaded stud is

equal to approximately 1.27 [0.05] of ram height

movement.

8. After completing the ram height adjustment,

tighten the threaded stud locknut.

After the proper height adjustments are reached,

replace all applicable guards and covers in their

original positions with the proper attachment

hardware.

7. INSPECTION

The pneumatic unit should be inspected with the

information provided in Figure 3. It is recommended

that the unit be inspected immediately upon its arrival

at your facility, and at regularly scheduled intervals, to

ensure that the unit has not been damaged during

handling.

8. REPLACEMENT AND REPAIR

Customer--replaceable parts are listed in Figure .

Parts other than those listed should be replaced by

Tyco Electronics to ensure quality and reliability.
