Vertical Reel Bracket Assembly; Toggle Lever Subassembly Operation - TE Connectivity Basic AMP-O-LECTRIC K 1-471273-3 Customer's Manual

The toggle lever subassembly is secured in the frame by the toggle arm pin at the front (see Figure 4). This pin
acts as the pivot point. Another pin connects the link to the lever, and the opposite end of the link is connected to
the ram by a pin.
The feed actuating mechanism (see Figure 13) is driven by the toggle lever. The feed connecting rod is joined to
the toggle lever by a pin and clevis. A compression spring is installed over the connecting rod, extending from
the clevis to the feed actuating block at its lower end. The spring absorbs the overaction and allows for feed
adjustment. The feed actuating arm joins the feed actuating block on its inner end, and the feed arm drive shaft
on the outer end, to oscillate the shaft in the bracket attached to the frame. The upward travel of the arm is
limited by the forward stop screw and its downward travel by the damper screw.

The feed actuating mechanism is used to drive the feed arm assembly when using standard applicators that
require a mechanical feed or for operating air valves for air feed and air blasts (when installed). These
assemblies are covered in Section 10.

2.3. Vertical Reel Bracket Assembly

The vertical reel bracket assembly, supplied with the machine, is adaptable to the broadest range of reel bracket
requirements. Three locations for the reel shaft on the vertical bracket allow mounting of all sizes of vertically
mounted reels. By changing the shaft to the inclined tab on top of the vertical reel support, conical reels can also
be installed. From either location of the reel shaft, the terminal strip is fed around the stock guide and into the
applicator from the right side of the machine.
When using the vertical reel bracket assembly for feeding miniature end-feed applicators, the stock guide
bracket must be tilted downward. This is accomplished by moving the left screw to the upper mounting hole in
the vertical reel support.
The assembly also adapts to feed the terminal strips into applicators from the left side of the machine for
miniature side-feed applicators, and into applicators mounted at a 30_ angle, with the use of available
assemblies (see Section 10).
