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:
POWER UNIT NOISE LEVEL RANGE (dB)
Pneumatic Applicator Frame
Assembly 91112--2
82--88
2700--lb Pneumatic Power Unit
312522--1

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.
