vCM 5388, Rev D
RECEIVING INSPECTION AND INSTALLATION
A. Receiving Inspection
The machines are thoroughly inspected during and a ter assembly. Prior to packaging and shipping, a inal
series o tests and inspections is made to ensure proper unctioning. While the machine should require no
adjustments be ore placing it in operation, the ollowing inspection should be per ormed as a sa eguard
against potential problems generated in transit.
1. Care ully uncrate the machine, and place it on a sturdy bench or table where both
illumination and height will permit a care ul examination.
2. Thoroughly inspect the entire machine or evidence o damage that may have occurred in transit.
I the machine is damaged in any way, ile a claim against the carrier and noti y AMP
Incorporated immediately.
3. Check all components and parts to be certain they are secure.
4. Check all wiring (i applicable) or loose connections, cuts, or other possible causes o
electrical short circuits.
5. Inspect all pneumatic lines (i applicable) or evidence o loose connections and cuts that may
cause leakage.
NOTE
Keep this manual with the machine for the benefit of personnel
responsible for installation, operation, and maintenance. In addition, be
sure to keep any other documents or samples with the machine.
B. Factors Affecting Machine Place ent
The location o the machine in relation to the operator's position is extremely important in terms
o both sa ety and maximum e iciency. Studies have repeatedly shown that operator atigue will
be reduced, and greater e iciency achieved i : (A) the bench is o appropriate height, pre erably
with sound-deadening rubber mounts; (B) the machine is properly located on the bench with ample work
areas on both sides to acilitate work low; (C) the operator uses a swivel chair with padded seat and back
rest which are independently adjustable; and (D) the oot switch (or oot valve), on machines so equipped, is
placed on a rubber mat to maintain its movability, while preventing it rom sliding
unintentionally.
Ċ Bench
A sturdy bench 28 to 30 in. high aids com ort by allowing the operator's eet to rest on the loor and the
weight and leg position to be easily shi ted. The bench should have rubber mounts to reduce noise. An open
area under the bench should allow the chair to slide ar enough in or the operator's back to be straight and
supported by the chair's back rest.

onlinecomponents.com
CM 5388, Re Di
Ċ Machine Location on the Bench
The machine should be located near the front of the bench and securely bolted to remain stationary. The
target area (tooling area where the terminal is applied) should be 6 to 8 in. from the front edge. This elimiĆ
nates unnecessary operator motion and helps prevent bac strain and fatigue. The target area should face
the front of the bench and be parallel to the edge. (Access to the bac of the machine must also be proĆ
vided.)
NOTE
Some machines have provisions for being bolted to the bench, and must
be secured in order to remain stationary.
Ċ Operator's Chair
The operator's chair should swivel, and should have independent seat height and bac rest
adjustments. The seat and bac rest should be padded, and the bac rest should be large enough to proĆ
vide support both above and below the waist line.
In use, the chair should be far enough under the bench so the operator's bac is straight and
supported by the bac rest.
Ċ Foot Switch
When the operator is correctly positioned in front of a machine equipped with a foot switch, the foot should
rest on the switch comfortably, and with ease. The foot switch should be movable, so that its location can be
readily changed when the operator shifts position to minimize fatigue. Placing the switch on a rubber mat
eeps it movable while preventing unintentional sliding.
The preferred foot switch location varies to some extent among operators. Some operators li e the switch
located so that their foot rests on the switch when their feet are in the natural sitting position (calf of leg
perpendicular to the floor). Others prefer that it be slightly in front of the natural position. The important thing
to remember is that the foot should be at approximately 90
_
(right angle) to the calf when resting on the
switch. Those who prefer the foot switch slightly in front of the natural position may require a wedge-
shaped bloc placed in under it.
DANGER
DO NOT connect electrical or pneumatic power to the machine until
called for in the setup procedure, Section 3.

The Figure shows the physical considerations as
recommended, and the operator in a desirable
position. Note that the chair height and bac -
rest are properly adjusted, and that the chair is
properly located in respect to the bench. Thus, the
operator's bac is straight, and supported by the
chair. Note also that the operator's upper arms are
in a direct line with the torso.
The plan view identifies typical locations for
supply" and applied product", and serves as an
aid in visualizing the convenience in materials hanĆ
dling afforded by proper setup and correct operator
position.

C. Machine Installation
With the considerations outlined in Paragraph B, locate the achine in a well-lighted area with adequate
electrical power and air supply.
After positioning the achine on a sturdy bench, it is advisable to secure it with bolts or screws to prevent
ove ent. If ore convenient for the operator, and beneficial to production, the achine can be tilted at a
30
_
angle by ounting it on an inclined plane.
D. Electrical Requirements
The achine requires a 115 Vac, 60 Hz, single-phase, 5 A power source. Machines are also available for
230 Vac, 50 Hz current. The line should be well-regulated so the voltage does not drop excessively under
additional line loads. If the electrical receptacle being used does not have a ground connector, connect the
fra e of the achine to a suitable etallic ground point.
E. Air Requirements
The operating air pressure ust be 90 to 110 psi. The supply should have a ini u volu e of 3 cf with
sufficient reserve and quick recovery so that the pressure does not fall below 90 psi when
additional equip ent is operated.

1. INTRODUCTION
This manual provides information concerning the setup, operation, and maintenance of the AMP
Horizontal Terminating Machine (see Frontispiece). This machine applies AMPLIVAR pigtail splices to
unstripped magnet wire and prestripped wires of other types. Serrations in the splices cut through the magĆ
net wire insulation to make electrical contact. This eliminates a time-consuming stripping
operation. Splices are applied with uniformly high mechanical strength and electrical conductivity, at high-
volume production rates.
The Horizontal Terminating Machine weighs approximately 146 lbs, and requires a power source of 115
Vac, 3 A, 60 Hz, or 230 Vac, 1.5 A, 50 Hz, depending on the model of the machine. A minimum of 90 to 100
psi air pressure is also required for the machine.
A wire stuffer assembly can be used with this machine to eliminate the need to change the crimp height
adjustment if there is a change in the combined CMA (circular mil area) of the wires to be crimped. A suppleĆ
ment in the back of this manual gives detailed information for the wire stuffer assembly.
Figure 1-1 is a table which provides a listing of machines, the AMPLIVAR splice, and its crimp width.
The eight sections of this manual are arranged in an order convenient for setup and maintenance
personnel. Setup personnel should follow carefully the procedures in Section 3, as any attempt to
operate the machine without proper setup and checkout could result in damage and unnecessary
downtime.
Section 4 contains step-by-step instructions for the machine operator. Maintenance personnel will find, in
addition to Section 6, Preventive Maintenance, necessary and helpful information in Section 2 for diagnosĆ
ing cycling problems, and in Section 5 for making adjustments. For information beyond the scope of this
manual contact your local AMP Field Engineer, or

When reading this manual, pay particular attention to DA GER, CAUTIO , and OTE statements. A DA Ć
GER denotes an imminent hazard which may result in moderate or severe injury, a CAUTIO denotes a
condition which may result in product or equipment damage, and a OTE highlights special or
important information.
2. DESCRIPTION
The AMP Horizontal Terminating Machine is basically rectangular in appearance Ċ approximately 23 in.
long, 27 in. wide, and 11 in. deep. The machine performs three functions: automatic feeding of
terminals; application (crimping) of terminals; and trimming of scrap wire. The appearance of the
machine differs greatly from the standard bench-type machine, mainly because its primary (crimping)
motion occurs on a horizontal plane, and not vertically as in other machines.
The crimp tooling is nearly flush with the front surface of the machine, allowing the wire to be held close to
the tooling for splicing ease when using very short leads.
The operator places the wires in the target area" with the magnet wire in the barrel of the terminal, then
depresses the foot switch. the machine automatically shears the splice (terminal) from the strip, crimps the
splice onto the wires, shears off the excess wire and advances the next terminal into the crimping position.
The machine's electrical circuit design prevents double tripping. This means that the foot switch cannot be
actuated while the cycle is in progress, and that the amount of time the foot switch is depressed is not critiĆ
cal. For a detailed functional description of the machine, refer to Paragraph 2.3.

CM 5388, Rev D
The very large number of wire combinations that can be joined with AMPLIVAR splices makes some tooling
changes necessary. Design features, however, do minimize the number of required changes, and only two
different feed plates are needed for the entire range of splices. Two or three wires may be joined in one
splice.
The wire stuffer assembly is covered separately in the supplement at the back of this manual. The stuffer
assembly is also available in kit form for field installation.
2.1. Major Groups a d Subassemblies
The four major groups or subassemblies of the machine are the feed plate group, the crimp tooling group,
the ram group, and the valve mounting plate subassembly. These groups are shown in the
exploded views (Figure 8-1 through 8-3), and are described in subsequent paragraphs.
A. Feed Plate Group (Figure 8-1)
The feed plate (49) contains a groove that guides the terminal strip to the target area." Two feed plates
are available to accommodate the full range of terminals. The feed finger (43), driven by the air feed
cylinder (33), advances the terminal strip one position with each cycle of the machine. The terminal
strip drag (26) prevents the strip from being pulled back as the feed finger retracts to pick up the next
feed point in the strip.
B. Crimp Tooli g Group (Figure 8-1)
The crimper adjustment block (8) is attached to the machine ram with three screws (11) through elonĆ
gated holes, allowing for adjustment by means of the crimper adjustment screw (10). Two
compression springs (9), placed in the grooves of the crimper adjustment block, apply pressure
toward the ram when the three screws are loosened, to keep the crimper adjustment screw against the
ram during adjustment.
The crimper guide (7), shear blade (6), and crimper (5) form the shear and crimp assembly. The
crimper guide is attached to the crimper adjustment block with four screws. The crimper and shear
blade are attached to the adjustment block with two screws.
The top of the crimper and the top of the shear blade should be FLU H with the top of the crimper
guide and against the adjustment block to assure proper alignment with the anvil (16) and the anvil
holder (17).
The anvil holder is mounted to the machine frame. The anvil is held in place in the anvil holder by the
stripper plate (15). The wire positioner (4) is mounted on the anvil holder and helps ensure that the wire
is positioned for a perfect crimp. The crimper guide is engaged with the anvil holder at all times and
eliminates crimper-anvil adjustment in ONE DIRECTION.
The crimper adjustment screw (10) provides a full range of crimp height adjustment for each
terminal. Turning the crimper adjustment screw in either direction from flat-to-flat (1/8 turn) changes
the crimp height approximately .004 in. For the convenience of the operator, the flats are numerically
identified from one to eight.
When the ram advances, the shear blade trims the scrap wire and at the same time shears the terminal
from the strip. As the ram retracts, the stripper plate strips the crimped terminal from the crimper. An air
blast tube is attached to the stripper plate, and as the ram reaches the fully
retracted position, a preset blast of air is directed at the anvil to clear scrap wire and tab chips from the
target area." When the ram is fully retracted, the cycle is complete.
C. Ram Group (Figure 8-2)
The ram group provides the force to the crimper for crimping the terminals. The main
components of this group are the machine frame (11), main air cylinder (33), link (24), ram bellcrank
(26), and the ram (19). When the main air cylinder is fully retracted, the ram is
also fully retracted by the linkage which connects the two components. Refer to Paragraph 3.3C for
further details on checking the ram stroke.

D. Valve Mount ng Plate Subassembly (F gure 8-3)
he main components of this subassembly are the base frame (1), main solenoid valve (51), manifold
(13), air filter (19), pilot actuators (27), pressure sensitive switches (25), and the
feed solenoid valve (29). Refer to Paragraph 2.3 for a functional description of the valve
operation in relation to the air cylinders. Air pressure supplied to the machine passes through the air
filter to provide clean air for the air valves, pilot actuators, and the air cylinders. For electrical
connections to the solenoid valves, refer to Figure 8-4.
2.2. Sw tches and Controls (F gure 2-1)
All switches and controls for operating the machine are located at the front within easy reach of the operator.

C. Fuse and Fuse Holder (F1)
The fuse protects the machine circuitry in the event of a short" within the wiring or one of
the electrical components. Should the machine fail to operate and the indicator lamp does not light
when the RUN pushbutton is depressed, FIRST check the fuse and replace if necessary.
D. Feed Switch (S2)
The feed switch is operated by depressing the FEED pushbutton. The purpose of the switch is to
advance the terminal strip during setup as described in Section 3 and when making adjustments as
described in Section 5. When the pushbutton is depressed and released, with the power to the
machine on," it momentarily energizes the terminal feed solenoid valve (L2) to advance the
terminal strip one terminal length, and de-energizes the ram retract solenoid valve (L1).
E. Retract Switch (S10)
The retract switch is operated by depressing the RETRACT pushbutton. This switch retracts the ram in
the event a jam should occur that prevents the ram from fully extending, or if pilot
actuated switch (S8) fails to close when the ram is fully extended.
F. Setu Switch (S10)
The ON-OFF setup switch is used in conjunction with the manual ram advance control during setup
of the machine. During normal operation, the switch MUST be in the ON position. When placed in the
OFF position, it prevents the ram from retracting after becoming fully extended, by breaking the circuit
to the ram extended switch (S6).
G. Manual Ram Advance Control
The manual ram advance control is located below the switch mounting plate. The purpose of
the control is to stop the ram operation at any point during extension stroke as may be
required during setup, described in Section 3, or when making adjustments as described in
Section 5. Using a screwdriver or 7/16-in. socket wrench, and completely closing the control
(CLOCKWISE), prevents the ram from extending when the foot switch (S3) is depressed. To
advance the ram with the setup switch (S11) in the OFF position, SLOWL turn the control
COUNTERCLOCKWISE. The ram can be stopped at any point during the extension stroke by
completely closing the control (CLOCKWISE). With the ram fully extended, placing the setup switch in
the ON position will retract the ram to the rest position.
H. Foot Switch (S3)
The foot switch may be placed at any location that is most convenient for the operator.
Depressing the foot switch enables the machine to complete one cycle of operation. The machine
cannot be cycled again until the foot switch is released. A cycle in progress must be completed before
another cycle can occur.

The machine is now back in the standby condition and all solenoid valves are de-energized. Air
pressure is being supplied to the retraction side of the ram cylinder and to the extension side of the feed
cylinder and pilot actuator on switch ( 4).
With the machine in the standby condition, terminals can be fed into the target area" without cycling the
machine. This is accomplished by depressing and releasing the FEED pushbutton which closes" switch
( 2) to momentarily energize the terminal feed solenoid valve (L2). This will retract and extend the feed cylinĆ
der ONLY.
3. MACHINE SETUP PROCEDURES
This section contains procedures for setting up the machine and checking it out prior to performing producĆ
tion operation. This will assure that all alignments and adjustments are correct to produce
termination of the proper crimp height for the type of terminal and size wire being used. If procedures are not
carried out in detail, especially following the initial installation of the machine, damage may result to the
tooling. Also included in this section, to prevent duplication, is the manual cycling
procedure which is referred to throughout this manual.
