In order to help you to ensure that our applicators are placed correctly in thepresses we offer you this press gauge.

It is possible to have a mis-alignment between the center of the applicator and theterminator due to the way they mount in the terminator. If this happens, a side load isapplied to the applicator which can lead to pre-mature wear and/or quality problemswith the crimped terminals.

The use of the gauge is simple: You install the press gauge into the presslike an applicator. Then you unlock the gauge head, on which is mounteda gauge ring. A spring in the gauge is now pressing the gauge headupwards. The gauge ring should now fit easily into the press head.If this is not the case the applicator ram would not be in a centredposition and the mounting plate of the press has to be adjusted.The special design of the press gauge base plate allows freeaccess to the press mounting plate fixing screws.

High Voltage ApplicationsHigh Voltage Applications

High Voltage Terminator (HVT)

With fossil fuels in increasingly short supply and a growingenvironmental awareness, almost all car manufacturers arenow offering electric powered vehicles. The current focusis on hybrid technology. To direct the power createdto the various units, the contact components needto be sized accordingly. The new high voltage contactsystem covers the 16–50 mm2 cross section range.

To date the batch totals have been relatively small,which means that the manufacturing process has beencarried out by hand in several stages. Special strippingdevices with a coil mechanism are used in the wirepreparation, which consists of separate phases of markingthe wire, stripping, trimming and reeling. The challengehere is to handle this kind of wire dimension, as the processcan quickly produce wire weighing in excess of 30 kg.

Another challenge is to process the braid. Here wenow apply the processing concept developed byTE Application Tooling, thus making the processsteps of crimping the wire and shield into asemi-automated and checked process operation.

The crimping machine uses applied encodingsto detect whether the right tool has been used.The operator now joins the contact part to the wirein the specified crimp position and fixes the wire with a clampingdevice. The crimping process can now begin through two-handedoperation. When the wire has been crimped, the crimp cavitycarriage is moved to crimp the braid.

Monitoring the crimping process with proven crimp monitoringsystems and using a PLC ensures a high quality crimp connection.It also ensures that the operator carries out the processing stagesin the right order using all the components. Only when the crimpmonitoring system certifies a good crimp and the programmedprocess stages have been observed can the fully crimped wire beremoved.

The crimping machine used has been designed to allow theapplicator to be replaced by another without too much effort.This allows all the latest high voltage contact systems to beprocessed.

Depending on the contact being used, crimping force monitoringcan be used for checking the wire crimp. The PLC that is usedensures that all the processing steps are performed in the specifiedsequence and with the necessary care.

Magnet Wire EquipmentMagnet Wire Equipment

The machine was especially developed for processingmagnet wire connections. Different versions forend-feed and side-feed contacts are available.The design takes into account that the motorwindings and coils can be supplied directly tothe connectors. The exposed crimp position permitsprecise handling. In case of end connections theprojecting magnet wires are cut off.

AMPLIVAR Splices and Terminals are specificallydesigned to terminate magnet wires or in com-bination with standard solid or stranded wire.In a one-step operation the magnet wire isautomatically multiple ring stripped of itsinsulation as it is forced into the serrationsduring the precisely controlled crimping operation.

As many as three magnet wires can beterminated, simultaneously in one splice.Nearly the entire AMPLIVAR spliceprogramme can be applied with thismachine in combination with suitableapplicators. The comprehensive rangeof manufacturing possibilities demandsa specific machine and applicatorcombination.

AMPLIVAR Terminator for Parallel and End Connections

The newly designed APT-5A AMPLIVAR productterminator, magnet wire splicing machine for pigtailsplicing or direct connection of contacts to magnetwire. The APT-5A machine offers a fast and efficientsystem, with no need to strip magnet wire insulation.

The APT semi-automatic bench machines provideCE compliance and are available in two versions:

– APT-5A with automatic precision adjustmentcontrolled by the crimp quality monitor (CQM),and improved efficiency when runningcustomer-motor assemblies.

– APT-5E with manual precision adjustment.

Equipment for Heat Shrink ProductsEquipment for Heat Shrink Products

Raychem AD-3050 Seal Test Equipment

The AD-3050 seal test equipment is a manually operated pneu-matic device, intended for use as a convenient ‘inprocess’ samplingtechnique for checking sealed splices. Different combinations ofin-line or stub splices can be pressure tested in any of the combina-tion of fixtures (8 in total).

There is also a facility to allow leak testing of various connectors.The tool is also intended for use as a quick and easy samplingtechnique for the preliminary selection of installation conditionswhere Raychem products are used for protection of the splice.

TE Connectivity has seen good correlation between results ob-tained with the AD-3050 seal test and those obtained throughwater immersion testing.

However testing in accordance with the OEM (Original EquipmentManufacturer) specification is the only guaranteed way of confirm-ing that the OEM specification is being met. The splice productsare located in clamps which deliver the test pressure.

The product is immersed in water and pressure is delivered downthe wire(s) to the sealed area. The test result is determined visuallyby looking for bubbles in the area of the sealing products.

Raychem RBK-ILS Processor Mark II

The RBK-ILS processor MarkII is a semi-automatic unit designedspecifically to install splice sealing products onto ultrasonicallywelded or crimped splice joints used in auto-motive harnesses.

The tool can operate in several modes:

� Stand-alone – operator sets time and temperature.

� Sequenced – preset times and temperatures can besequenced automatically (and can also be randomlyselected from sequence stored.)

� Automatic communication with upstream ultrasonicwelder can allow time and temperature to be auto-matically set without operator intervention.

In this way the operator is able to efficiently load both machines and so minimise ‘dead time’. Installing Raychem splicesealing products immediately after welding gives reduced installation time and earliest possible mechanical protectionfor the welded joint. The operator positions the splice sealing product centrally over the splice joint and then locatesthe assembly into the gripper mechanism.

Pushing the two start buttons initiates the machine cycle thus bringing the heating chamber into place over the jointarea. The heating chamber remains in place for the set period and then returns to the rest position. The wire assemblyis automatically ejected, with the splice sealing product installed and the joint area sealed, insulated and strain relieved.

The machine can install sealing product on in-line or stub-type splices.

TE heat and shrink application equipment is designed and engineered specifically for the installation of TE Raychemheat-shrinkable products.

It provides the optimal heating temperatures, performance, and control features for maximum production efficiency.It is designed for general industry use or developed specifically in close collaboration with customers, using standardheater components.
