1. APPLICATOR RAM SLIDE
1-1 SLIDE ASSEMBLY
The conductor dial (108) and the insulation dial (111) are fixed by the shank (112).
To remove the two disks you must first loosen the 4mm grub screw positioned in the
main body of the slide, now by loosening the shank you can remove both wire disks.
Positioned in the rear of the slide is the cam (119). There are two different cams
available for this applicator. The first type is an pre-feed cam, with this cam fitted
the terminal is present over the anvil when the press is at top dead centre, this type of
cam is commonly used when the applicator is located in a bench press. The other
type is a post-feed cam, this operates in the opposite manner, which means the
terminal feeds forward as the press travels to bottom dead centre, this type of cam is
commonly used when the applicator is located in a fully automatic machine.
1-2 TROUBLE SHOOTING
The dials are difficult to turn
1. Dismantle slide assembly as described above and check for any foreign bodies.
2. Ensure 3mm grub screw located in the insulation dial is not excessively
tightened.
3. Check condition of the positioning Pin (109).
The dials turn freely but do not locate in position correctly
1. Check the condition of the positioning spring (110) and the positioning pin
(109). The Spring may be broken.
2. Ensure 3mm-grub screw located in the insulation dial is adjusted correctly.
2. EJECTOR
2.1 PURPOSE
After the terminal has been successfully crimped on the wire, the terminal may
adhere to the punches; the ejector assures the function of stripping the terminal
from the punches.
2.2 ASSEMBLY
Place the ejector punch with relevant spring (159) into the corresponding slot of
ejector holder (160) ensuring the ejector slides freely up and down when fixed into
position on the front of the crimping punches.

7. TERMINAL FEED PITCH
7.1 When you receive the applicator the pitch will be factory set, however if you do
need to make an adjustment, please ensure that the press is switched off and the
applicator is removed from the Press.
Note: The function of this nut is to achieve the correct pitch of the feed finger as shown
in 8-3 (not to set the final position over the Anvil).
7.2 The pitch of the Feed Finger is adjusted by loosening the Stroke adjustment bearing
nut (117) and sliding it either up, to make the stroke longer, or down, to shorten the
stroke.
After you make this adjustment you will have to adjust the terminal position as
described in section 10.
7.3 When adjusting the pitch always feed the terminal on the rectangle hole and not the
round hole that can be viewed through the slot on the top of the small guide rail. (See
below)

9. TERMINAL FEED POSITION
9.1 When you receive the applicator the feed will be factory set, however if you do
need to make an adjustment, please ensure that the press is switched off and the
applicator is removed from the Press.
Note: The function of this adjustment is to ensure that the terminal is in the correct
position when crimped. See section 16.
9.2 To adjust the position of the Feed finger loosen the M5 screw in the lever block
(124), then carefully loosen the Ring nut (125). Once these 2 parts have been loosened
you can adjust the position of the Feed finger by rotating the Adjusting bolt (123),
clockwise to take the terminal forward and anti-clockwise to bring the Terminal back.
When you have achieved the correct position carefully tighten the Ring nut (125) then
the M5 screw.
Now you can place the applicator back into the press and carefully rotate the Press by
manual operation to see if the correct position has been achieved (See section 15).
If the crimped terminal is not correct then repeat this process.
9.3 The terminal position will vary if the Pitch screw is adjusted (section 8).

10. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
10.1 Wire Stop / Stripper
Depending on which terminal you are processing, a wire stop / stripper is sometimes
fitted to the die spacer The purpose of this part is to position the wire correctly prior to
crimping and remove the terminal from the crimp punches after the crimping process.
CAUTION you must ensure that the stripper is set in a position behind the crimp
anvils and punches so that they will not come into contact and cause damage to the
tool.

11. CRIMP HEIGHT

11.1 The 2 dials on the top of the Ram are used to adjust the conductor and Insulation
crimp heights.
NOTE: The numbers and letters around these dials should only be used as a reference
for a correct crimp, as this will vary depending on the shut height of the press the
applicator is used in. The crimp height should be measured with a crimp micrometer.
If for any reason you cannot achieve the correct crimp height, please contact our
Technical services department.
11.2 Conductor crimp height

The top dial, which has the letters from A-H around it, is for adjusting the Conductor
crimp height. To adjust the crimp height of the conductor, carefully rotate this dial, the
lower the letter (A) the harder the crimp.
When making any adjustment it is recommended that you start with the higher letter
(H) to avoid any damaged being caused by over crimping.
To ensure that you have the correct crimp height, there is a silver label fixed to the side
of the applicator, this will have all the crimp heights, for the different gauge wires used
with that terminal on it.
The steps between each dial setting are 0.05mm increments.
For information regarding how to measure the crimp heights please see section 16.
11.3 Insulation crimp height

The Lower dial, which has the numbers from 1-8 around it, is for adjusting the
Insulation crimp height. To adjust the crimp height of the Insulation, carefully rotate
this dial, the lower the number (1) the harder the crimp.
When making any adjustment it is recommended that you start with the higher number
(8) to avoid any damaged being caused by over crimping.
The steps between each dial setting are 0.10mm increments.
For information regarding how to ensure that you are using the correct setting please
see section 16.

Quality Statement
The quality of a finished crimp is dependent on the use of the manufacturers specified
application tooling that has been cleaned and maintained in accordance with the following
schedule.
Daily Care (the ‘weekly care’ checks listed from 2.1 – 2.4 below, should also be applied
on a daily basis when using terminals manufactured from steel)
1.1 Turn off the crimping press and isolate from the electricity supply. Remove the safety
covers from the crimping press.
1.2 Clean all wire and terminal scrap from the tooling with the aid of a small paintbrush.
Caution
The use of a pneumatic airline to clean the tooling should be avoided. Any debris on
the tool will be blown away under great force and could either cause injury to persons
nearby or be forced into moving parts of the tooling.
1.3 Visually check the crimping dies, shear section and stripper blade for evidence of wear
or damage. If any parts are damaged, please contact JST to order replacement parts.
1.4 Check that there is a thin film of grease on the bearing surface of the ram, if necessary
apply general-purpose grease to restore the lubrication. Do not over grease the ram, because
the excess grease will either drip onto the tooling or will attract debris.
1.5 Check that the dial settings are aligned correctly over the crimping punches and that
they are correctly set to the pre-determined reference position.
1.6 Check that the safety covers are in a good serviceable condition and replace on the
tooling. Clean the polycarbonate safety cover with a general-purpose aerosol spray cleaner
to restore good visibility.
Weekly care, or when removing the applicator from the press for storage.
In addition to the daily checks, the following maintenance should also be carried out on the
tooling.
2.1 Remove the crimping punches from the ram (part numbers are affixed 63*** or 64***),
please note the sequence of dis-assembly so that the parts can be replaced in the correct
order. Refer to the Dies Construction Sheet supplied with the tooling for the assembly
order.
2.2 Hold each crimping punch in a vice and with the aid of a piece of waste cloth apply a
small amount of a good quality metal polish into the crimp form of the punch.
17
CMKS-L Manual.doc
2.3 Using a sawing motion, polish the form until a brilliant mirror-like finish is restored.
2.4 Replace the crimping punches in the ram ensuring that the punches are free to move in a
lateral axis when the retaining screw is fully tightened.
2.5 Remove the applicator from the crimping press (check the press operation manual for
instructions if you are unsure of how to remove the applicator from the press.)
2.6 Check the security of the fastenings. If any part is loose, tighten with the appropriate
hexagon key or spanner supplied with the crimping press.
2.7 Remove the ram from the main body of the applicator and clean off all the old grease
from the ram, feed cam and the mating surface of the applicator.
Caution
If an aerosol degreaser is used to clean the tooling, ensure that all traces of the solvent
are removed prior to reassembly.
2.8 Apply a thin smear of general-purpose grease to the bearing surfaces of the ram, feed
cam and cam-roller assembly and replace in the body of the applicator.
2.9 Apply a few drops of light machine oil to each of the pivot points on the feed-arm
mechanism.
2.10 Replace the applicator in the press.
2.11 Replace the safety covers.
2.12 If it is not intended to replace the applicator in the press, please ensure that the rubber
collar supplied with the tooling is placed between the dials and the applicator body. This
action will avoid any damage occurring to the crimping dies due to percussive shock when
the crimping punches make contact with the crimping anvils.
Notes:-
Recommended materials for maintenance:
Recommended grease should be of the general purpose ‘LM’ type.
Recommended oil is general-purpose machine oil, i.e. ‘3-In-One’ oil
Recommended metal polish is of the paste type, i.e. ‘Solvol Autosol’

Preface
Since the chain terminals and electric wires to be connected vary greatly in type and usage,
it is difficult to provide instructions for all possible crimping combinations and conditions.
This manual, therefore, provides one general guideline for your reference.
Please contact us if you have any questions regarding the use of special wires, the correct
combinations of terminals and wires etc.
1. Checks Before Crimping
Check that all wires, terminals and dies to be used are correct.
(1) Use stranded wire or cord. (Check the wire size and the insulation colour).
(2) Refer to the applicable wires in the catalogue to determine which terminal
type is necessary to match the wires to be used. (Check the model number
and appearance).
(3) Determine which dies match the terminal. (Check that the dies are free from
damage).
Note: Contact us first if you wish to use solid wires, solder-plated wires, wires not
listed as applicable or other special wires.
20
CMKS-L Manual.doc
2. Stripping Wire Insulation
The wire insulation strip length is determined by referring to the figure

over. Set the correct length depending on the terminal used and strip the
insulation with a wire stripper, taking care not to damage the wire conductors.
Bundle the stripped wires in paper to protect the wire strands from bending or
fraying when transported.
The wire insulation stripping length is determined by the following equation:
1 = E + A/2 + a
The correct value of a is between 0.5 and 1.0 mm.
Precautions:
(1) Take care to prevent damage to the wire strands, uneven strip lengths and
Insufficient cutting of the insulation.
(2) Strip the shielding cable as shown below:
The end of the outer wire becomes uneven

as the wire is twisted. Trim the wire
approximately 2 to 3 mm to make it even
(3) Do not excessively twist the conductors.
21
CMKS-L Manual.doc
3. Crimping
3.1 Precautions regarding crimping
At first glance, crimping terminals appears to be very easy.

However, crimping involves the use of a press employing 1000 kg (1 ton) of
pressure. Sufficient care must be taken to prevent accidents.
Please instruct beginners to work safely regardless of how much time such
training requires. Always use safety guards so that an operator’s fingers cannot
enter the crimping die area.
Precautions:
(1) Turn off the crimping machine whenever the Press is not in use.
(2) Turn off the machine at the mains before adjusting the dies and feeder unit.
(3) Do not touch the dies unless the machine is switched off.
(4) Position the foot switch where it will not be operated by other people or
falling objects.
(5) Always concentrate on what you are doing.
(6) Work in a stable posture.
(7) Do not place any unnecessary objects on the die unit.
(8) To make sure that the operating conditions are correct, manually cycle the press
before going to automatic operation. After the handle is used, be sure to remove
it from the crimping machine.
(9)Always ensure that the safety guard is replaced after adjustment.
22
CMKS-L Manual.doc
3.2 Adjusting the crimp height (CH)
After crimping, measure the crimp heights of the crimped terminal with a
micrometer (Contact JST for information on suitable tools) at the centre of the wire
barrel and at the centre of the insulation barrel.
Sectional view of the crimped terminal:
Cross Sections
* Set the crimp height of the wire barrel to the specified dimension.
* Determine the crimp height of the insulation barrel in relation to the outer diameter
of the wire insulation. (Refer to item 3.3)
Notes:
1. After adjusting the crimp height, use a trial sample to conduct a tensile test
(refer to item 3.4) in order to examine the strength of the crimped section
before going to automatic crimping operation. Occasionally examine the
strength of the crimped section not only at the beginning but also during
automatic operation to check for any abnormality in crimp height.
2. After the dies are replaced or the crimp height is changed and before trial
crimping, rotate the manual handle to make sure that the dies do not
interfere with each other. (Even when the crimp height is high, the dies may
interfere with each other if the dies are incorrectly aligned. Be sure to place
the dies at the correct positions).
3. When the adjustment is completed, check again that all screws are tight.
23
CMKS-L Manual.doc
3.3 Adjusting the height of the insulation barrel
Crimping the insulation barrel is not as important as the wire crimp , but it performs
an important strain-relief function.
However, excessive crimping may cause the conductor to break on the inside.
Such breakage cannot be seen. Care must therefore be taken to prevent such
damage.
Adjust the crimp height of the insulation section as shown in the
examples below:-
Insufficient Crimping
- The wire insulation is loose

and can be moved.
Correct
- The barrel edges firmly grip the insulation.
Excessive crimping
- The barrel edges cut into the strands.
24
CMKS-L Manual.doc
Checking for correct crimping:
Following the items described below to check that the insulation barrel is correctly
crimped.
(1) Check that the wire insulation does not slip when the wire is bent in the order (1, 2
and 3) shown the right.
(2) Cut off the insulation barrel at the (a) portion and cut off the wire at the (b)
portion. Remove the wire insulation and check the wire conductors for damage.
25
CMKS-L Manual.doc
3.4 Tensile tests at the crimped section
Test a sample crimped in the normal crimping manner using a tensile tester or
push-pull gauge.
A simple method of suspending a predetermined weight can also be used.
Slowly pull the sample so that it receives no abrupt shock.
Example: Tensile test with a push-pull gauge
4. Correct Crimped Conditions
Crimp the terminal so that it is correctly finished as follows:
4.1 Crimped appearance:
4.2 The crimped cross-section must be correctly finished as shown on the right:
26
CMKS-L Manual.doc
4.3 All conductors must be crimped. Uncrimped conductors are not acceptable.
Uncrimped conductors.
4.4 The lance must not be deformed.
4.5 The terminal tip and mating part must not be deformed.
4.6 The terminal must not be bent or deflected excessively.
Bend

Deflection
27
CMKS-L Manual.doc
4.7 The terminal barrel must be correctly bell-mouthed.
The (A) portion of the barrel must be bell-mouthed.

The (B) portion of the barrel is not necessarily to be bell-mouthed.
The (C) portion must be free of cracks.
4.8 The terminal must be cut at the correct position.
The projection is too long.
The insulation barrel of the subsequent terminal is deformed.
The projection should be 0.2 to 0.5 mm.
Excessive Cutting
The mating part is deformed.

28
CMKS-L Manual.doc
4.9 The wire must be crimped at the correct position.
The conductors do not protrude enough. (The wire easily comes off due to
incomplete crimping).
The conductors protrude excessively. (The conductors interfere with the tightening
nut, preventing the terminal from being installed).
The wire insulation is crimped at the wire barrel. (Poor conduction or breakage due
to excessive crimping will occur).
The wire insulation is not completely crimped at the insulation barrel. (The wire
insulation easily comes out from the insulation barrel).
The conductors and wire insulation are visible.
The conductors must protrude 0.5 to 1.0 mm.
29
CMKS-L Manual.doc
5. Check-points for correct Crimping
Be sure to check the following points before beginning work each day.
Check Item
Wire barrel Check that the crimp heights and tensile

Strength is correct.
Insulation barrel Check that the crimped shape and the crimp
Heights are correct.
Appearance - Check that the wire barrel is correctly

bell-mouthed
