8. To open the feed belts press the “Feed Rollers” button.
The feed belt tension is set via the regulator on the front panel.
40 to 60 PSI is a nominal pressure to start with. The
general rule is to use the min pressure need to do the job.
Excessive pressure or insufficient pressure will accelerate
belt wear.
The EMERGENCY STOP button must be released, the guard closed and MASTER
START pressed before the Feed Roller button will function To release the
Emergency Stop button rotate the button clockwise until the button pops up.
9. Insert the wire though the guides and position the leading end of the wire at the
left end of the infeed belts about 2” on to the belt. Jog the feed about 3 inches
twice then jog it to the end of the feed tube. Do not feed it into the outfeed guide. The CS 327 will
feed a predetermined length of wire and cut it off to qualify the end of the wire for first piece
accuracy. This piece must be free to drop in the scrap tray .This will happen each time the Feed
belts are opened and closed or the Emergency Stop button is used.
Close the feed belts by pressing the “MasterStart and Feed Rollers” buttons.
10. Select the “Single” mode (#7) and press the “Cycle Start” Button. This will produce one sample
piece. Examine the part, make necessary adjustments, and repeat as necessary. When results are
satisfactory select “Auto” mode press “Cycle Start” to commence production.
Pieces made In Single or Step are not counted as part of the total quantity

only be that far leaving it on the end of the wire. Elasticity of the insulation may determine the pull
required to break the slug free from the wire.
STRIP METHOD SELECTION
The strip method option (#9) allows the ability to select several types of stripping methods.
Short Wire This is for wires that need to have both ends stripped but are too short to reach the
out feed belts. In this mode the machine strips a length of insulation off the lead that is the
total length of both the lead and tail strip. It then slides down the wire the length of insulation
that should be left in the center of the wire. Then it cuts the wire off to the correct length.
NOTE: It is very important that the body length of insulation is able to slide on the
conductor. For insulation lengths that cannot be slide along the wire without damage or
slipping the wire in the belts this mode will not work. You may need to enter values
program values different on the screen to get the measured values you need. This is
because of the flexibility of various insulations.
Lead /Tail Center Stripping This mode will allow you to program a Center (window) strip
near the end of the wire.
To accomplish a leading or trailing Center Strip select one or both in the upper left corner of
the screen.
Then program the over all wire length and the “T” and “L” strip lengths as usual.
Enter the desired center strip length value in the “C” field (Center Strip) and the distance
between the end of the wire and the near edge of the center strip in the “O” field (Off Set).
Above is an example of a wire with a .25 in center strip 5 inches from the end of the wire.

O C

18
NOTE: It is very important that the body length of insulation is able to slide on the
conductor. If the insulation is difficult to slide, it may be necessary to adjust values to
accomplish a center strip successfully.
Lead / Tail Double Strip gives the ability to strip a wire that requires a 2 step strip such as
coax cable. When this is selected the wire image will change. Entry fields for the window strip
position and length will appear. The normal strip values are the Primary values. (smaller
diameter) The added windows are the Secondary values. (larger diameter) The Strip
Diameter for the Secondary strip is found in the Wires Properties (#5) The order of the
stripping, inner conductor first or outer conductor first, is selectable through the Machine
Configuration (#23)
STRIP DIAMETER
Strip Diameter is entered by double clicking on the appropriate window (#4), the field will turn blue,
enter the desired values and press ENTER. (Secondary Strip Diameter is found in Wire Properties)
