5. MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION
5.1. Maintenance
5.2. Periodic Inspection
Regular inspections should be performed with a
record of inspections remaining with the dies and/or
supervisory personnel responsible for them. Tyco
Electronics recommends one inspection per month;
however, amount of use, working conditions, operator
training and skill, and established company standards
should determine frequency of inspection. The
inspection should be performed in the following
sequence:
A. Visual Inspection
B. Gaging the Crimping Chamber
This inspection requires the use of a plug gage
conforming to the dimensions in Figure 3. Tyco
Electronics does not manufacture or market these
gages. To gage the crimping chamber, proceed as
follows:
2 of 4
1. Remove dust, moisture and other contaminants
with a clean brush, or a soft, lint–free cloth. Do not
use objects that could damage the dies.
2. Make certain that all surfaces are protected with
a thin coat of any good SAE No. 20 motor oil. Do
not oil excessively.
3. When dies are not in use, store in a clean, dry
area.
1. Remove all lubrication and accumulated film
by immersing the dies in a suitable commercial
degreaser that will not affect paint or plastic
material.
2. Make sure all die holding screws, retaining
rings, and die components are in place and
secured. Refer to Section 6, REPLACEMENT AND
REPAIR, if replacements are necessary.
3. Check all bearing surfaces for wear. Replace
worn components.
4. Inspect the crimping chamber for flattened,
chipped, cracked, worn, or broken areas. If
damage is evident, the dies must be repaired
before returning them to service. See Section 6,
REPLACEMENT AND REPAIR.
Crimping Die Assemblies 58268-1 and 58268-2
If the crimping chamber conforms to the gage
inspection, the die assembly is considered
dimensionally correct and should be lubricated with a
THIN coat of any good SAE No. 20 motor oil. If not,
the die assembly must be repaired before returning it
to service. See Section 6, REPLACEMENT AND
REPAIR.
For additional information concerning the use of the
plug gage, refer to instruction sheet 408–7424.
6. REPLACEMENT AND REPAIR
Replacement parts or recommended spares are listed
in Figure 4. The recommended spares should be
stocked for immediate replacement. Order
replacement parts through your Tyco Electronics
representative or call 1–800–526–5142, or write to:
1. Remove traces of oil or dirt from crimping
chamber and plug gage.
2. Mate the dies until it is evident that the dies
have bottomed, then HOLD in this position. Do
NOT force the dies beyond initial contact.
3. Align the GO element with the crimping
chamber. Push element straight into the crimping
chamber without using force. The GO element
must pass completely through. Refer to Figure 3.
NOTE
4. Now align the NO–GO element and try to insert
it straight into the same crimping chamber. The
NO–GO element may start entry but must not pass
completely through as shown in Figure 3.
