SET UP INSTRUCTION FOR MTA-100 (19248-0072) APPLICATOR

IN A MOLEX BENCHMASTER 3BF (11-15-0000) PRESS

CAUTION: POWER MUST BE OFF (DISCONNECT AT SOURCE)

1. Adjust press ram to 5-1/2" clearance when crank is at bottom dead center.

2. Turn crank till ram is at top dead center, then slide the MTA-100 (19248-

0072) applicator (as received) into place, lining up the shank with the hole in

the bottom of the ram.

3. Turn crank to bottom dead center position (shank will have entered hole in

ram and a clearance will be noticed between the bottom of ram and top side

of upper die plate.)

4. Square up the MTA-100 (19248-0072) with the press frame. Check for any

interference of the guard with press members. Then insert the clamp bar in

place under the press frame and snug down the lower die plate with the screw

and washers provided.

5. Loosen rear mounting nuts on the guard, then pivot guard forward.

6. Adjust ram down till its bottom face engages the to surface of the upper die

plate, then tighten the keeper bar on the die shank, also tighten the lower

clamp bar screw. Check again for the crank to be at bottom dead center.

7. Remove the set up spacer block. Crank press over to top dead center and

install the crimp tooling. (CAUTION: Make sure the tooling is square and

securely seated in their respective upper and lower nests.)

8. Crank press thru its complete cycle 3 or 4 times, making sure there is no

binding or interference of the tooling or press with the die hardware. Also

notice that the sprocket wheel that's behind the crimp tooling indexes one

tooth each cycle.

9. Attach the reel holder bracket to the mounting bracket on the left side of the

press and place a reel of taped parts on the hub shaft. (CAUTION: Make sure

the barrel of the part is facing the operator, sprocket holes in tape are away from

the operator. Check for compatibility of the part with the crimp tooling.)

10. Remove the first two terminals from the lead on the tape and place the tape

on the sprocket wheel. You will have to pivot the top tape retainer guide out

of the way first. To do this, press the rectangular red button and lift the

extending arm of the tape retainer. Having the tape holes engaged in the

sprocket wheel, bring the tape retainer guide back down, until the red

rectangular button snaps out and holds the retainer in place.

11. Pivot the lexan guard back up into place and secure the retaining nuts.

12. Manually cycle the press until a terminal rests on the lower crimp die.

13. Turn power on, and cycle press with switch control. NOTE: Tape lead should

discharge out the right side of guard.

14. Proceed to crimp wire leads by inserting the wire through guard and into

terminal barrel. Then cycle press and pull terminal off tape at the end of each

cycle.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR ADJUSTING SHUT HEIGHT ON A 3BF (11-15-0000)

PRESS WHEN USING A MOLEX-ETC MTA-100 (19248-0072) APPLICA-

TOR WITHOUT REMOVAL OF PRESS FLY WHEEL GUARD

• Turn power off.

• Install correct ATP butting dies in MTA-100 (19248-0072) applicator.

• Open guard door.

• Observe that index lines on connecting rod and eccentric are lined up at 12:00

position.

• Using a 1/2" open-end wrench, rotate the crank shaft counterclockwise 1/2

turn so the index line of the eccentric is at 6:00 or the ram's lowest position.

• If the dies touch before index line reaches the 6:00 position, the press shut

height requires adjustment.

• This can be achieved as follows:

• Loosen the ball screw jaw nut and clamp set screw.

• Raise or lower ram by rotating ball screw until desired shut height is

achieved. The electrical crimping dies marked E1 and E2 should touch or

butt when the ram is in its lowest position. In addition, at that point the ram

should be set so there is slight resistance when rotating the crank shaft with

the wrench.

• Tighten clamp screw and jam nut when this is accomplished.

• Follow through one more time and repeat the process using the wrench, being

sure the electrical dies butt and there is slight resistance at that point.

• Rotate crank shaft by turning wrench clockwise so index lines of connecting rod

and eccentric match at 12:00 position.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR ADJUSTING SHUT HEIGHT ON A 3BF (11-15-0000)

PRESS WHEN USING A MOLEX-ETC MTA-100 (19248-0072) APPLICA-

TOR WITHOUT REMOVAL OF PRESS FLY WHEEL GUARD

• Install mylar tape mounted terminals in the applicator and index the press

manually until the first terminal indexes in proper location within crimping die

nest. At this point press should be in the upward position so index lines of

connecting rod and eccentric match at 12:00 position.

• With press in upward position focus to rear of the MTA-100 (19248-0072)

applicator and adjust the index arm so flat position is approximately 1/32 of

an inch below the flat of the horizontal index tooth to the right or at the 3:00

position. This adjustment can be made by loosening the two socket head

screws at the top rear surface of the MTA-100(19248-0072). Make the

adjustment, which is necessary due to press variations; then re-tighten the

two set screws securely. Please note the sketch below for further clarification.

• If reaching the two socket head set screws is a problem because of interference

due to the frame of the 3BF (11-15-0000) press, it may be necessary to slide

the MTA-100 (19248-0072) forward, reverse it 180° and slide it back in

position. Exercising caution – the base is held down with the top surface of

applicator touching lower press ram surface – make the necessary adjustment

as described in the previous step. Reverse the applicator 180°, align, tighten

down base and post, and proceed to the next step.

• Press is now ready to operate under power.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR ADJUSTING SHUT HEIGHT ON A 3BF (11-15-0000)

PRESS WHEN USING A MOLEX-ETC MCM-200 (19249-0392) WITHOUT

REMOVAL OF PRESS FLY WHEEL GUARD

• Turn power off.

• Install correct ATP butting dies in MCM-200 (19249-0392) applicator.

• Open guard door.

• Observe that index lines on connecting rod and eccentric are lined up at 12:00

position.

• Using a 1/2" open-end wrench, rotate the crank shaft counterclockwise 1/2

turn so the index line of the eccentric is at 6:00 or the ram's lowest position.

• If the dies touch before index line reaches the 6:00 position, the press shut

height requires adjustment.

• This can be achieved as follows:

• Loosen the ball screw jam nut and clamp set screw.

• Raise or lower ram by rotating ball screw until desired shut height is

achieved. The electrical crimping dies marked E1 and E2 should touch or

butt when the ram is in its lowest position. In addition, at that point the ram

should be set so there is slight resistance when rotating the crank shaft with

the wrench.

• Tighten clamp screws and jam nut when this is accomplished.

• Follow through one more time and repeat the process using the wrench, being

sure the electrical dies butt and there is slight resistance at that point.

• Rotate crank shaft by turning wrench clockwise so index lines of connecting rod

and eccentric match at 12:00 position.

• Make necessary adjustment settings to mechanical feed position depending on

size of FIQD part being used. Enter parts into chute of mechanical feed and

push through until first part is positioned and centered directly above lower

crimping dies.

• Press is now ready to operate under power.
