3INITIAL START-UP
3.1 Safety devices
1. The machine must only be operated with the safety devices on!
2. Never extend your hands into the danger area!
3. Should a fault or an accident occur, immediately press the E-Stop (Emergency) button and
disconnect the power cable.
3.2 Power connection
Only qualified personnel must perform any work on the electrical system, such as
connection to power, maintenance or repairs.

The connection is made via the power cable delivered with the machine. It must be ensured
that the operating voltage corresponds with the mains voltage (230 V/110V). Actuating the
power switch on the rear starts the crimping press.

3.4 Keypad / Functions / Indicated Messages
The power switch, in the form of a toggle switch with a red knob (N) is located at the top on the
rear of the machine.
All the other controls and display components are located on the front of the machine.
If the Emergency Stop button is depressed (see picture 8), no crimping cycle can take place. If
the Emergency Stop button is depressed and you press on the foot pedal, “Emergency Stop” is
indicated but the cycle does not start.
The following functions can be regulated with 4 buttons on the front of the machine:

3.5 Splice band feeding system : How to install a new reel and to introduce the
banding
Position the splice banding reel vertically
Remove the safety film
Install the reel onto the shaft.
The tag with the reference must be facing the operator.
Unwind the ribbon.
Cut off the bent section of banding.
Position the banding at the entrance of the feeding
system.
The serrations of the banding must be facing down.

NOTICE SM CRIMP 2000-V8.0 / Mai 2012 11
While holding the banding at the entrance of the feeding
system, press the key +. This button also works as the
forward feed button.
Verify that the banding is not bent after it exits the feed
rollers. If the banding is not straight, cut it with cutting
pliers.
Under no circumstances, should the banding be
distorted, this will cause a feeding problem.
The banding should not be bent when inserted into the
tooling.
While holding the banding at the entrance of the cutting
block, press key +.
Keep pressing the + key until the feeding motor system
stops automatically.
The banding must form a curve toward the highest point
of the frame.

NOTICE SM CRIMP 2000-V8.0 / Mai 2012 12
3.6 Checking the crimping height and clincher centring (assuming these have been
correctly set, otherwise see section accordingly).
In order to eliminate any risk of damaging the tool, we would recommend checking the two
following parameters, prior to starting the first cycle:
clincher centring
Crimping height.
Important recommendation:
Before you cycle the press either by turning the hand wheel or by using the foot pedal,
it is strongly recommended that you first check that the punch and clincher will not collide.
Otherwise these components would be severely damaged on initial impact.
Before this check, we recommend to make 10 to 20 cycles with the splice band inserted in the
tool (without the clincher and clincher holder). This ensures that all the parts of the upper tool
have taken their correct position.
3.6.1 Centring the clincher
This operation must be done without splice band and lamp light. Place the clincher and clincher
holder back on the machine.
Using the hand wheel, bring the punch down slowly until the
punch is in middle of the clincher.
Be careful, if the punch is not correctly positioned
compared to the clincher, do not complete the cycle.
Continue slowly turning the hand wheel by monitoring the
movement of the punch downwards from the side (with a
magnifier if necessary). Stop turning as soon as the tip of the
punch enters into the clincher.
The clincher is correctly centred if the clearance between the
punch and the flanks of the clincher is identical to the left
and right.
If the centring is correct, check the crimping height.
If the centring is not correct, refer to the manual for performing adjustments.

NOTICE SM CRIMP 2000-V8.0 / Mai 2012 13
3.6.2 Controlling the crimping height
When delivering a machine with the tooling, our technical department will indicate the crimping
height listed on the technical datasheet.
Before putting the machine into production, it is advised to verify if the dimensions of the
connections are compatible with our recommendations. Refer to the technical data sheet and check
the information.
The tooling can also be delivered independently from the machine. This can have the obligation
updating the information ‘under advice set-up’ with the customer’s technical datasheet.

them.
Push both tool sliders in the
tooling upwards using the
end of a screw-driver.
Lay new tooling on the machine. Tap lightly with the first to introduce both
centring pins.
The instantaneous contact of the tooling with the machine must make a clear
“CLICK”. This metallic sound indicates that both surfaces are perfectly in
contact with each other.

Ensure that the clincher
mounting surface is perfectly
clean, and has no conductors

The names of the spare parts that constitute the tooling:
5.1 Opening the tooling
Place the tooling onto a clean surface.
When handling the tooling, be careful not to
damage the finger guard.
Loosen the screw of the cutting block.
The screw should be placed 8 to 10 mm above the
face of the tooling.
Push the cutting block slightly sideways with small
screwdriver.

Remove the screw located on the rear of the
tooling.
Slowly open the cover of the tooling.
Place all of the components on a clean surface.
5.2 Replacing the punch and/or the guide
To dismantle the tooling, refer to chapter 5.1
Holding the tooling in your left hand, you must
now check that the sliders can easily slide up and
down simultaneity.
Do not turn the tooling; avoid any damage on
cutting-block and anvil.
Separate the punch slider from the punch-guide
slider by rotating the punch slider as shown on
the picture.
Ensure that the punch pin does not fall on the
floor.

NOTICE SM CRIMP 2000-V8.0 / Mai 2012 18
It’s now possible to separate the punch from the
punch-guide.
Ensure that you don’t lose the punch pin
To replace the punch-guide pin, unscrew the
bolts.
The new punch-guide can now be installed.
Before tightening the screw, be sure that punch
guide is facing upward.
Introduce the punch at the guide extremity.
Do not grease the punch.
Only punches for 4mm splice profiles are
symmetrical (punches for 2 and 6mm splice profiles have
an offset hole).
In the case of 2 or 6mm punch, the hole must be placed
close to the slider body.
Grease the punch and guide slider face (no
grease on the punch and inside the punch-guide).

NOTICE SM CRIMP 2000-V8.0 / Mai 2012 19
Lightly grease components on all sides.
You can now fit the new punch.
5.3 Replacing the anvil
To dismantle the cassette, refer to chapter 5.1
Holding tooling in your left hand, you must now
check that the sliders can easily slide up and
down inside it.
To do this, take a screwdriver and first push the
punch guide slider and then the punch slider up
and down. (The punch slider is difficult to move
because it is pressing the anvil sideways. This
resistance is normal).
Undo the old anvil.
Clean the anvil using a degreaser.
Lubricate both faces of the anvil.
Lubricate the anvil spring.
Place the new anvil.
Before re-assembling, clean up every part of the
tooling.
You can now fit the new anvil.

5.4 Replacing the cutting block
To dismantle the tooling, refer to chapter 5.1
Holding tooling in your left hand, you must
now check that the sliders can easily slide up
and down inside it.
To do this, take a screwdriver and firstly push
the punch guide slider and then the punch
slider up and down. (The punch slider is
difficult to move because it is pressing the
anvil sideways. This resistance is normal).
Remove the anvil
By pushing behind, slightly slide the cutting
block.
Clean up the cutting-block location with
degreaser.
Replace the anvil.
Before re-assembling, clean up every part of
the tooling.
