Instruction Sheet 408-8053 Miniature (Mini) Quick-Change Applicators 1. INTRODUCTION This instruction sheet has been prepared to serve as an applicator conversion guide and, in the process, promote a better understanding of the typical differences between semi–automatic (bench) and automatic versions of miniature and heavy duty (HD) miniature quick–change applicators. Applicator setup personnel and those responsible for production CONVERSION Fixed Rev G scheduling should find this of particular value— especially in operations where miniature quick–change applicators are used in both semi–automatic (bench) and automatic machines. Dimensions in this instruction sheet are in NOTE millimeters [with inches in brackets]. i AUTOMATIC MACHINE SEMI-AUTOMATIC (BENCH) MACHINE PART 07 JUN 07 5 With 41.3-mm [1 /8-in.] Stroke Floating Feed and Eject Sides of Machine Pin 464661-1 690472-2 Stripper (Side Feed) Shaft Collar 22292-2 Note: Thicker stripper spacer required Note: Different stripper spacer requirement than for semi-automatic machine. bench machine (thinner or none).

Note that the end feed stripper spacer requirement normally differs as well. Figure 1 also indicates that the machines in which the applicators are used have different stroke lengths, and therefore the applicators require different cams. These are the parts normally involved when a conversion is made. The question that most frequently arises is: “If l have a bench machine applicator for Terminal ‘A,’ can l use that applicator to apply that terminal in one of my automatic machines (and vice versa)?” The answer is: “Yes . . . BUT only after obtaining and interchanging the parts required for conversion.” Reasons for reissue of this instruction sheet are provided in Section 4, REVISION SUMMARY. To convert an applicator (or applicators), contact your local representative, and provide the following information: 2. DESCRIPTION Basic differences (typically) between automatic and semi–automatic applicator versions are illustrated in Figure 1. Several typical strippers are shown to indicate that there is quite a difference in side feed Convert APPLICATOR NO. ____________________ for TERMINAL NO. ___________________________ TERMINAL FEED CAM PRE FEED Operation POST FEED The terminal is fed over the anvil on The terminal is fed over the anvil on The terminal is fed over the anvil on the upstroke of the ram. A terminal is the downstroke of the ram. There is the downstroke of the ram.

Disadvantage Using the pre-feed cam in end-feed When using the post-feed cam with mini applicators can cause terminal end-feed applicators, running small jams.

CONVERSION 3.2. To Automatic Machines 5 With a 41.3-mm [1 /8-in.] Stroke 3.1. To Semi-Automatic (Bench) Machines 5 With a 41.3-mm [1 /8-in.] Stroke — Applicator guards designed for semi–automatic (bench) machines are not required for machines with a 41.3–mm [15/8–in.] stroke. Unless otherwise specified, Guard Insert 679532–1 can be used. — Air–feed applicators require Fitting 23238–1 to properly connect to the air line. — Quick–Exhaust Valve 22374–7 is required, and should replace any valve, if the present valve length or width exceeds 51 mm [2 in.]. — Some applicators may require rotation of the air feed cylinder end cap by 90_ to avoid interference with the drive motor. — The air feed valve is not required. The air feed assembly has a flow control valve on the normally–open port to control the air flow into the air cylinder. The four–way air feed valve can be used to control double–acting cylinders. Rev G — Applicator guards designed for automatic machines are not required for machines with a 41.3–mm [15/8–in.] stroke. Unless otherwise specified, Guard Insert 904291–1 can be used. — Quick–Exhaust Valve 22374–7 may be required, and should replace any valve, if the present valve length or width exceeds 51 mm [2 in.]. — Air–feed applicators require Air Feed Kit 904890–1. 4.
