NOTICE SM CRIMP 2000-V8.0 / Mai 2012 6

Please check that the consignment is complete and that there is no concealed or obvious
transport damage.

2.1 Ordering spare parts and requesting Customer Service.

Please note:

When ordering spare parts or seeking customer service, please provide the following:

 Part numbers from the enclosed spare parts list.
 Machine Serial and Model number.
 Tool Cassette number.

3 INITIAL 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.

 Even with the Emergency Stop button pressed, parts of the machine still carry live voltage.

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.

NOTICE SM CRIMP 2000-V8.0 / Mai 2012 7

3.3 Starting the machine.

- Connect power cable (K).

- Connect foot pedal cable (P)

- Turn on the main switch (N) (if the switch is in the off position (lamp not lit), the machine is

not live.

- Unlock Emergency Stop button by turning it to the right.

 Main Switch module

 The machine is ready

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:

3.4.1 The key ‘MODE’

The ‘RESET’ key allows you to return automatically to the main display and deleting any error
messages.

3.4.3 The keys + and -

The keys + and – have two different functions:

 In the main display, under quantity, the keys + and – allow you to control to the feeding

system.

 In the others displays, the keys + and – allow you to scroll the menu options.

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.

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.
