1: INTRODUCTION
The PAT Fully Automatic Cable Tie Installation System was designed by Panduit Corporation to install
Panduit continuously molded cable ties for high volume wire harnessing applications.
NOTE: In the interest of higher quality and value, Panduit products are
continually being improved and updated.
Consequently, pictures may vary from the enclosed product.
2: SYSTEM SPECIFICATIONS
The Panduit Corporation PAT Cable Tie Installation System consists of four compatible units: the PAT
Installation Tool, the PDM Dispenser, the PHM Feeder Hose, and Panduit Pan-Ty XMR Cable Ties.
Cable ties are available in reels of 5000 pcs.
NOTE:Any substitution may cause serious damage to the system and/or injury to the operator.

Automatic Cable Tie Tool System Overview & Tool Cycle:
(Applies to all Panduit Automatic Cable Tie Tool Systems, Listed on Page 1)
Tool Cycle with Customer Controlled Tool Actuator / Robot
& Use of EI-Port:
1. Customer Controlled Actuator closes Tool Head Jaw lever, closing Jaw & S1 switch, to enable EI-
Port to receive remote trigger input at EI 25 pin D-sub. Connector.
{NOTE: Customer Actuator must hold Tool Jaw Lever closed during entire cycle for proper Cable
Tie Application}
2. Short “primary” air burst sends tie past Dispenser “Gate” and Dispenser Tie Exit Sensor, S2, and into
Tie Transfer Hose, then “primary” air burst stops.
3. “Gate” in Dispenser closes and second air burst transports tie through Tie Transfer Hose toward
Tool Head.
4. Tie enters Tool Head, passing through Tie Entry Sensor, S3, stopping in jaws of Tool Head, and
Dispenser moves the next tie into position ready for next cycle.
5. Upper Jaw moves to thread tie strap through tie head, then tensioning around wire bundle takes
place.
6. Tie reaches desired tension and excess tie strap is cut-off, activating Detent Sensor S4 to end
cycle.

Table 3: Cycle Progress Definition
* M7 must be closed to start cycle. M7 may remain “Closed” continually or “Open” at end of
cycle. M7 should remain closed during entire cycle indicating Tool Jaw Lever is held closed to
allow proper cable tie application. If Tool Jaw Lever opens after cycle in progress, the cycle will
continue and cable tie may not thread into tool tensioning mechanism. This may create Tie in Tool
Error.
* Dispenser outputs M3, M4, M5, M6 & M7 may be monitored by the PLC without the need to
drive Dispenser inputs M0, M1 & M2.
