1.1. European Regulatory Information

A technical file document, as required by the Supply

of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 1992, has been

prepared for Ribbon Cable Notcher 854449--[ ] for use

with Pneumatic Applicator Frame Assembly 91112--2

and 2700--lb Pneumatic Power Unit 312522--1.

These components are CE approved only when used

in conjunction with each other, and are not approved

separately. Refer to Product Drawing 356767 for

Declaration of Conformity.

1.2. Noise Level

The noise level generated by the combination of the

ribbon cable notcher and the following power units

are:

Noise levels generated by periodic depression of the

air control valve are in the range of 104 to 106 dB.

2. DESCRIPTION

The ribbon cable notcher consists of a cable support

plate, pressure plate, upper tooling, die scrap chute,

air control valve, upper die plate subassembly, and

cable stop plate. See Figure 1.

The cable support plate provides initial alignment of

the ribbon cable in the notcher. The pressure plate

aids in positioning the cable during the notching

process. The upper tooling and die notches the cable.

The scrap chute and air control valve is used for

scrap removal. The cable stop plate positions the

cable for end notching.

3. PRESSURE PLATE ADJUSTMENT

Due to dimensional variations in ribbon cable, it might

be necessary to adjust the height of the pressure

plate. Four brass laminated shims (0.051 [.002] per

lamination) have been provided to adjust the height of

the pressure plate. The ribbon cable should fit snugly

under the pressure plate with a slight drag and no

side--to--side movement. If adjustment to the pressure

plate is required, refer to Figure 2, and proceed as

follows:

1. Remove the guard. Remove the retaining rings

and upper die plate subassembly.

2. Carefully remove the upper tooling and

compression springs.

3. Remove the pressure plate and curved spring

washers.

4. Peel and place shims under the curved spring

washers as necessary. Both curved spring

washers must have an equal amount of shims.

5. Re--assemble the notcher, making sure that the

compression springs are properly seated in the

counterbores.

4. INSTALLATION AND REMOVAL (Manual Arbor Frame

and Pneumatic Applicator Frame)

Refer to the instructions included with the

corresponding adapter kit for installation and removal

of the notcher for the pneumatic power unit and the

terminating machine.
