This is an OPERATION and MAINTENANCE MANUAL. Its purpose is to
assist users in the initial set-up, verification and operation of the Vibratory
Feed Crimper. It is not intended to be used as the guide to perform major
adjustments or to effect major repairs. Consult the factory if adjustments or
repairs other than those described herein are necessary.
WARNING
This machine must be supplied with a clean, dry, oil-free air
supply. Absence of such will void warranty.

Introduction
Section I
TAC-7X MANUAL
The Tri-Star Technologies TAC Series of Vibratory Feed Bowl Crimpers are devices which automatically
crimp loose electrical contacts to electrical conductors. This operation manual is for the TAC-7X model.
Figure 1-1 is a photograph of a TAC-7X as viewed from the front (operator) side. This photograph gives a
view of the cabinet housing, the feeder-bowl, the escapement system, and the crimping system.
TAC-7X requires no lubrication or preventive maintenance except to periodically change the air filter or
drain it. Crimp acceptability should be verified in accordance with the user's normal practices.
lndenters used in the TAC-7X are qualified to the M22520 specification and are of the highest quality, to
ensure a substantial quantity of acceptable terminations.
Reasonable care must be exercised, however, to prevent any foreign matter, particularly hard substances,
from being crimped. lndenters might be damaged if subjected to crimping anything other than the contact
specifically intended. Under normal operating conditions, however, the control system precludes the TAC
from crimping anything other than the specific contact for which the equipment is tooled.

2. Operation
All functions of the TAC are initiated, terminated, controlled and
operated both pneumatically and electrically. After the TAC has
been set up properly, only two functions are operator-adjustable:
The amplitude of the feeder-bowl vibrations and, if a feature of this
particular TAC, the selected "G" dimension. All other functions are
machine controlled.
Interlocks are provided in the Control System to prevent any out-of
sequence event from occurring. System design is such that if the indenter
does not crimp completely, the device will not permit that particular
contact from exiting the crimper without performing a reset. If a contact
does not seat properly in the transfer tip the equipment will disengage. All
events occur automatically, except the insertion and extraction of the
conductor, which is operator performed.
The crimp cycle initiation occurs when a properly stripped conductor is
inserted into the contact to be crimped, and depressed. Depressing the
contact with the conductor inserted triggers the TAC; when the crimp is
completed the operator withdraws the conductor with the contact now
attached; the TAC re-cycles and places another contact in proper position;
the operator inserts another properly stripped wire into the contact,
depresses it slightly, and the cycle repeats.
Figure 1-2 shows the funnel through which the operator inserts the
conductor into the contact. In most cases the arbor cover plate is
chemically treated a dull black color in order that operators may more
easily recognize a flayed or skewed conductor strand prior to insertion.
TAC's equipped with funnels eliminate eye-hand coordination fatigue as
the operator need not visually affirm each conductor strand is inserted into
the contact. The funnel design assures all conductor strands, even if not
twisted together, will enter the contact so long as they are not bent back
when inserted into the funnel. TAC's eliminate all eye-hand-foot
coordination fatigue and timing techniques, as there are no foot-switches.

3. Operator
Technique
Crimp location on the contact, and depth of crimp, are entirely TAC
dependent. The operator only need select (if applicable) the proper
"G" dimension setting and initiate the crimp cycle by inserting the
conductor into the contact and depressing it by applying slight pres-
sure. A conductor whose strands are not visible through the contact
inspection hole (if applicable) was probably not stripped to proper
length.
Operators usually get the "feel" of the machine within 15 minutes of
use. Noise generated by the device is minimal; operators have been
observed to develop a rhythm of insertion and withdrawal based on the
unique sounds generated by the device. Crimp rates exceeding 2000
crimps per hour have been attained.

Initial Set-Up
Section 2
TAC-7X MANUAL
1. Introduction
CAUTION
Although all TAC's are ruggedly constructed, adequate precautions
must be observed and all instructions followed to prevent damage to
the device during the Initial Set-up.
"
Read this entire section before proceeding. The time required to have
this TAC ready for CrimpVerification {Section 3) is less than one hour.
2. Uncrating/
Unpacking
NOTE
The shipping container in which the TAC is transported is a three piece
design constructed to ensure safe arrival of the device.
The bottom base piece of the container holds the TAC; the other
pieces of the shipping container consists of the top and four sides,
which are secured to the bottom base by mounting straps.
To Uncrate/Unpack the TAC:
Step 1. Carefully cut all mounting straps surrounding the ship
ping container.
Step 2. Carefully lift the top and sides of the container until all
sides are clear of the TAC.
Step 3. Inspect for damage.
If damage due to shipping is observed, do not continue. Contact
the factory and the shipping carrier.
Lift and transport the TAC using only the baseplate Do not lift, pull
shove or jostle the feeder bowl, the crimp cylinder or any component
mounted on the baseplate.
Damage will result!!
