1. INTRODUCTION
When reading this manual, pay particular attention to DANGER, CAUTION, and NOTE statements.
DANGER
Denotes an imminent hazard that may result in moderate or severe injury.
CAUTION
Denotes a condition that may result in product or equipment damage.
NOTE
Highlights special or important information.
NOTE
Dimensions in this customer manual are in metric units [with U.S. customary units in brackets]. Figures are not drawn to scale.
This manual contains the installation, safety, operation, and maintenance procedures for the CxP press
machines. This includes the Connector Benchtop Press (CBP-5T Mk II), Connector Manual Presses (CMP-5T
Mk II and CMP-10T Mk II) and Connector Shuttle Press (CSP-5T Mk II). The information provided applies to all
CxP presses, except where specified as applicable to certain models.
2. SAFETY

Electrical
CBP/CSP
Appropriate machine grounding is critical for safe operation. Therefore, an external copper ground
conductor with a minimum cross section of 2 mm2, must be connected to the machine’s PE point. This is
located on the right-side frame and is labeled with “PE”. Be aware that electrical hazards exist where
labeled.
The main power disconnect switch with “lock-out” function is provided on the right side of the machine and
is clearly marked.
CMP
Due to power line filter components the leakage current is higher than 10mA. Therefore, a threaded bolt is
fixed to the machine frame and labeled with a ground symbol. A separate additional ground line has to be
connected to that point. The wire cross section must be at least 10 mm2.
The main power disconnect switch is provided in the rear panel of the machine and is clearly marked.
When it is in the “ON” position, it is mechanically interlocked to prevent the access door from being
opened. When it is in the “OFF” position, the switch may be locked in position by inserting a padlock into
one of the three locking locations (see Figure 2). In addition to the mechanical interlock, the door is
equipped with a keyed lock.
Figure 2
Eye/Ear Protection
Eye protection should be worn at all times when operating or servicing this machine. In the event a connector is
crushed during the pressing operation, pieces of the connector could become airborne. NOTE: The laser
sensor does not require eye protection use (see Figure 3).
No ear protection is required. Emission sound pressure level at workstation does not exceed 70 dB(A).

Safety Covers/Guards
All safety guards must be in place before operating the press. This includes all sheet metal and Lexan panels
around the machine (see Figure 4).
Figure 4
Emergency Machine Off (EMO) / ESTOP
The Emergency Machine-Off (EMO) circuit controller monitors the safety interlocks (see interlock information
below) and the computer to decide if it is safe to allow motor power and movement. When the EMO circuit is
de-energized, the motor servo controller is disabled, and power is cut off from the motor.
With all of the safety interlocks correctly set, the EMO circuit will energize when signaled by the computer. An
interruption by any interlock will de-energize the EMO circuit. NOTE: Resetting an interlock will not
automatically re-energize the EMO circuit.
Emergency Stop Interlocks
The Emergency Stop switches are mounted on the lower left and lower right front corners of the press. Though
they are clearly visible, an operator should purposely note their position and understand their operation in case
of an emergency. Pressing either switch de-energizes the EMO circuit and motion is halted. When pressed, the
switch latches in the pressed state and must be turned to be released.
Light Curtain Interlock
The Light Curtain is a secondary operator safety device. When the light curtain senses an obstruction, the EMO
circuit is de-energized, and motion is halted. The interlock automatically resets when it is clear of obstructions
(though the EMO circuit will remain de-energized.)
Pneumatic System
The pneumatic system is provided for the optional air bearing table that allows floating a PCB support fixture for
ease of positioning beneath the Press head. On the CMP, the pneumatic system also provides air to the air
bearing that floats the head for side to side adjustment. There are no special precautions required for
pneumatic system considerations.

CMP Only
The following safety items apply only to CMP models.
Caster Wheels
The CMP is mounted on four swivel casters. The rear two casters are lockable. Two people are required
when moving the machine as it is heavy.
Seismic Restraints
Protection from unwanted motion during an earthquake can be achieved by bolting the frame to the floor.
This can be done in many ways, two of which are described here.
1. Drill holes through the lower frame tube on the right and left sides of the machine. Secure Eye-Bolts to
the holes. Anchor similar Eye-Bolts into the floor below the machine. Secure the machine to the floor
using chain or cable.
2. Fabricate steel angle plates to bolt to the lower frame tube at the left and right sides of the machine.
Anchor the angle plates to the floor.
NOTE
A seismic restraint kit is available from TE upon request.
Frame Construction and Weight Distribution
The frame is constructed of tubular steel welded together and supports the very heavy press frame.

5. PRESS OVERVIEW
This section introduces the CBP, CSP, and CMP presses. They will be collectively referred to in this manual as
CxP. A brief review of the purpose, capabilities, options, and layout is given.

409-35001
Rev C
14 of 92
Purpose
The CxP servo electric press was designed for two primary purposes. First, to satisfy the increasing need for
controlled quality pressing of connectors on today’s complex circuit boards. As the density of connectors
increases, they become more fragile. At the same time, circuit boards have become more complex, susceptible
to damage, and costly. This trend will undoubtedly continue and accelerate as interconnect PCB’s continue to
move from simple passive elements to more complex devices with surface mount devices, and devices buried
in the inner layers. In recent years, back panel assembly shops have had to dramatically increase their process
sophistication. It has become obvious that the old methods of “slamming” the connectors into the board are no
longer acceptable. The CxP, being an electric servo driven press, precisely controls the force and speed of
each pressing cycle. In addition to control, quality feedback in the form of SPC analysis, display, and reports is
available for the first time. Valuable data can now be captured and analyzed to improve the entire interconnect
process.
The second purpose is to improve the efficiency of the pressing process. The manual techniques traditionally
used for pressing connectors have been very labor intensive, unsafe, and ergonomically unacceptable. The
result is that the throughput and quality has been operator dependent, which inevitably produces variable
results. The electric servo press improves throughput while yielding more consistent computer-controlled
results with quality data feedback.
Thus, the dual purpose of this press meets the needs of the assembly shop and the end customer
simultaneously.

Capabilities
CBP Specifics
The CBP delivers a controlled force of up to 44 kN (10,000 lbs) through a 200 mm long X 37 mm wide
[7.87 in long X 1.46 in. wide] “flat rock” anvil head. The Z axis travel is 50mm [1.97 in.].
NOTE
A total of 160 mm [6.3 in.] of pressing space is available by installing a 50 mm [1.97 in.] adapter on the anvil. The normal
retract position gives 140 mm [5.51 in.] space between the press head and table top; 90 mm [3.54 in.] in full extend. The
50 mm [1.97 in.] adapter adjusts the space envelope to 90 mm [3.54 in.] retracted and 40 mm [1.57 in.] extended. The “up”
head position can be programmed for any desired tool clearance while pressing. This improves efficiency by limiting the stroke
travel per cycle. It can also be very convenient to use the press head as a tool support for unstable tool/connector situations.
Additionally, the Press has a Press Head that rotates manually 90° and air bearing capability for a PCB support fixture on the
table top.
The PCB size limit is 450 mm wide X 700 mm long [17.72 in. wide X 27.56 in. long]. The structure opening
width is 550 mm [21.65 in.] and the press head can be moved from side to side on a slide to access the
edges of wide boards.
CSP Specifics
The CSP delivers a controlled force of up to 44 kN (10,000 lbs) through a 200 mm long X 37 mm wide
[7.87 in long X 1.46 in. wide] “flat rock” anvil head. The Z axis travel is 50mm [1.97 in.].
NOTE

width is 550 mm [21.65 in.] and the press head can be moved from side to side on a slide to access the
edges of wide boards.
CMP Specifics
The CMP delivers a controlled force of up to 44 kN (5 tons/10,000 lbs) for the CMP-5T Mk II or 89 kN
(10 tons/20,000 lbs) for the CMP-10T Mk II, through a 212 mm long x 75 mm wide “flat rock” head. The Z
axis travel is greater than 125 mm and the “up” position can be programmed for any desired clearance
above the tool before pressing. This improves efficiency by limiting the stroke travel per cycle. It can also
be very convenient to use the press head as a tool support for unstable tool/connector situations.
The PCB size limit is 610 mm wide x 915 mm deep (CMP-5T Mk II) or 748.5 mm wide x 965.2 mm deep
(CMP-10T Mk II). The press head can be moved from side to side to access the edges of wide boards.
Precise Control of Pressing
The program for pressing is a simple table of connector types and positions. Each pressing cycle, called a
profile, is precisely defined by the user to control force, speed, and distance as the connector is pressed.
This highly flexible technique allows a virtually unlimited variety of pressing options to satisfy the needs of
present and future connectors. Data describing the connectors, tools, PCB, and pressing profile are
stored in databases that can be modified either on or off line.
Many useful features and utilities are provided for maintenance. This includes on-screen display of all
machine inputs, and access to force all outputs.
User-definable I/O is available via a connection on the rear of the machine to remotely control the press
by triggering and receiving events.

409-35001
Rev C
18 of 92
The pressing process can be controlled in one of five ways:
1. FIXED FORCE - A connector can be pressed to a set force, such as 5 kN [.56 tons/1,124 lbs]. This is
a common technique used by hydraulic and pneumatic presses. It is the least sophisticated method
available and is the most likely to damage the PCB or connector.
2. FIXED FORCE PER PIN - A connector can be pressed to a set force per pin, such as 150 N [33.7 lbf]
per pin. This is slightly better than the first method because it recognizes that the force applied should
be proportional to the number of pins being pressed. It cannot, however, compensate for normal
variations in required force per pin for different connectors, in different positions, in different boards.
3. PRESS TO HEIGHT –A connector can be pressed to within a programmed distance short of seating
on the board surface. This is the gentlest process possible because it exerts only enough force to
press the pins into the board. No excess force is pressed into the connector plastic or the board. This
sophisticated technique is made possible by the control available using an electric servo press head
and a rigid press structure. In order for press to height to be accurate, the board thickness must be
precisely known. This can be done using the thickness measurement probe and sequence provided.
4. (PARS) –PERCENT ABOVE RANGE SAMPLE –A connector can be pressed with force that is
proportional to the actual resisting force detected during the pressing cycle. We call this Percent
Above Range Sample, or PARS. In this technique, the connector’s resisting force while pressing is
sampled and averaged over a distance range above final seating to the board surface. The final force
percent added assures complete seating of the connector. This is the most widely used technique
because it limits the stress to the assembly but does not require great accuracy for board thickness
measurement.
5. FORCE GRADIENT –Monitors the rate of change of force to distance. This method is used for robust
connectors that need to be seated against the board surface. Generally, the force vs. distance plot will
make a steep upturn as the connector contacts the board surface. The connector stops moving so the
force rises quickly.
A minimum slope is specified for the upturn in terms of ΔForce over ΔDistance, which corresponds to
how solidly the connector is pressed against the board. A conversion tool is provided for those
accustomed to using the legacy force gradient programming method, which uses the production graph
scaling and graph gradient angle.
Board Thickness Measurement
Board thickness measurement facilitates the press to height technique by measuring the actual thickness
of the PCB before the pressing cycle starts. If the board thickness is not measured, the program uses a
nominal thickness in height calculations.
Optional Accessories
ACAL (Automatic Calibration) Unit
There are two different units, one for a 5T machine and one for a 10T. They are used to recalibrate the
machine, which must be done annually. This accessory is bought so the company can calibrate the
machine on their own.
Bar Code Reader
The bar code reader option allows PCB serial numbers to be quickly entered for tracking purposes.
Pressing tools can also identified by bar code for efficient and accurate control. Tool identification can be
enabled by adding the Tool ID condition to the press sequence.
CBP MKII SensiPress Anvil Extension
This SensiPress option is specific to the CBP MKII machine only. There are three different dash numbers
to associate with the machine height that is bought. The extension is larger than the original received so
that the head can get closer to the table top if a smaller product needs to be pressed.

CMP Height Extension
The CMP height extension option lifts the machine to a standing height.
From table top to floor with the caster wheels measures 902mm (see Figure 17). This machine should be
installed by a field engineer.

CXP Spare Parts Kit
Each CXP machine part number has the option of its own spare parts kit to include extra pieces, such as
light curtains or emergency stops. This kit is usually bought so that, if something breaks, it can be repaired
right away.
Manual or Pneumatic Shuttle
The pneumatic shuttle can only be used on the CSP MKII machine, but the manual shuttle can be put on any of the
machine when also buying a different table top. This option is bought mainly to help with ergonomics, so a person
does not have to reach so far under the machine.
Machine Specific Configuration
The main screen is always displayed at startup or when no operator is logged on. Pressing the “TE logo”button
at the top left of the screen will also display the main screen.
The configuration of the machine can be viewed by clicking the “System”drop-down menu on the left side of
the top navigation bar and selecting About from the menu. The machine attributes are given as shown in
Figure 18.
Users with administrator access rights can navigate to the System Settings screen and select the Database
Backup and Restore tab to manage database versions.
