  • Page 2: Safety Precautions - Read This First

    409-35024 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS — READ THIS FIRST! IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION NOTE DANGER Keep all decals clean and legible, and replace them when necessary. Inspect the tool and jaws/dies before each use. Replace any worn or damaged parts. A damaged or improperly assembled tool can break and strike nearby personnel.
  • Page 3: Safety Precautions - Avoid Injury - Read This First

    409-35011 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS — AVOID INJURY — READ THIS FIRST! Safeguards are designed into this application equipment to protect operators and maintenance personnel from most hazards during equipment operation. However, certain safety precautions must be taken by the operator and repair personnel to avoid personal injury, as well as damage to the equipment. For best results, application equipment must be operated in a dry, dust-free environment.
  • Page 4: Introduction

    This manual contains the safety, installation, setup, operation, and maintenance procedures for the TE Connectivity High Voltage Cable Preparation (HV-CP) machine; part number 2335400-1 (Figure 1). Throughout this manual the left, right, and front side of the machine are defined as shown in Figure 1.
  • Page 5: Safety

    409-35011 The HV-CP is a semi-automatic, programmable, stand-alone machine designed to strip the cable jacket, braid, and dielectric foil from round, multi-layer cables (Figure 2) in preparation for the application of crimped terminals. Figure 2: Stripping a cable The machine can process cables with conductor cross-sectional areas ranging from 10mm to 120mm (8.8mm to 23mm outside diameter).
  • Page 6: Safety Covers And Guards

    409-35011 Safety covers and guards DANGER Operating the machine with missing or removed components can result in moderate or severe injury, including death. DANGER Moving parts can crush and cut. DANGER Do not operate the equipment without guards in place. All safety guards and doors must be in place and securely closed before operating the machine.
  • Page 7 409-35011 To provide a safe condition for maintenance or repair, rotate the main power switch to the OFF position (as shown in Figure 4) and lock it there by inserting a padlock (not included) into the locking locations. Figure 4: Locking out electrical power = 4-8 mm [0.16-0.31 in] ≤...
  • Page 8 409-35011 Pneumatic connections Pneumatic power disconnect A manually operated main air disconnect valve is located on the left side of the machine, below the main electrical power switch. The main air valve will exhaust all residual air from the machine when turned from the Supply (SUP) position (Figure 5) to the Exhaust (EXH) position (Figure 6).
  • Page 9 409-35011 The valve can be locked in the EXH position (Lock Out/Tag Out) for maintenance or repair by inserting a padlock (not included) into the locking location (Figure 6). Figure 6: Main air disconnect valve in EXH position Indicator shows EXH position Install Lock Out/Tag Out padlock here 9 of 83 Rev D...
  • Page 10 409-35011 Airlock Valve If the incoming air supply volume is inadequate, the cable grip force can be reduced during the vacuum cycle. The airlock valve maintains the grip pressure to prevent the cable from slipping in the gripper jaws (Figure 7). It also allows the cable grip to be released, if the guard door is opened and the red button on top of the airlock valve is pressed.
  • Page 11: Safety Interlocks

    409-35011 Safety interlocks The machine has safety interlocks in two locations:  Under the sliding top guard at the front-left corner of the chassis  The top-left inside corner of the scrap door Sliding door interlock The interlock located under the sliding door (Figure 8 and Figure 9) is monitored by a dedicated safety relay.

  • Page 13 409-35011 Scrap door interlock Interrupting the scrap door interlock (Figure 10) disables the vacuum system. It does not disable the servos or drop the air pressure. CAUTION Do not open or empty the scrap bin while a cable prep cycle is in progress. NOTE Resetting an interlock does not automatically restart the machine.
  • Page 14: Emergency Stop Switch

    409-35011 Emergency stop switch The Emergency Stop (E-STOP) switch is mounted on the top panel of the machine, in the lower left corner (Figure 11). It is clearly visible, but each operator must note the location and understand the operation of the E-STOP control in case of an emergency. Pressing the switch does the following: ...
  • Page 15: Description

    409-35011 DESCRIPTION Machine overview Rotating stripping head The HV-CP is fitted with three blades, three cutting wheels, and a mandrel. This offers many advantages, such as precision centering, braid flaring, and matched toolsets for repeatable processing. The rotating blades cut the entire circumference of the insulation with precision. Multi-step stripping The HV-CP processes multi-layered conductors in steps that can be programmed in any order.

  • Page 18: Major Components

    409-35011 Major components Monitor The touch screen monitor is the key interface with the machine. The viewing angle can be adjusted (see Figure 14) by loosening the knobs on either side of the cross-bar, rotating the bar and then tightening the knobs.
  • Page 19 409-35011 Gripper The gripper clamps and accurately positions the cable during the cycle. After the sequence is initiated, the actuator brings the gripper jaws closer together (Figure 15) until the cable is securely held. In response to the process parameters, the gripper moves the end of the cable to the correct location with respect to the blades and rollers (Figure 16).
  • Page 20 409-35011 Airlock valve The airlock valve (Figure 7) is designed to improve the performance of the machine by maintaining the grip pressure at all times. If the incoming air supply volume is inadequate, the cable grip force can be reduced during the vacuum cycle. It also allows the cable grip to be released, if the guard door is opened and the red button on top of the airlock valve is pressed.
  • Page 21 409-35011 Mandrel Providing support for the braid to be cut without affecting the inner insulation is the key function of the mandrel (Figure 18). This component, like the contour blades, is sized specifically for each cable size and should be paired accordingly (see Table 4 for tooling specifications). During a standard cycle, the mandrel is inserted under the braid and over the inner insulation.
  • Page 22 409-35011 Cable Tunnel This feature of the machine ensures that the cable is centered in the grippers during the cycle and directs the end of the cable to the cable sensor. It consists of top and bottom portions to direct the cable end fully (Figure 20).
  • Page 23 409-35011 Scrap bin The machine has an integral vacuum that draws the process scrap (insulation, foil, braid) into a removable scrap bin (Figure 22). During routine processing, the scrap bin must be removed and emptied to prevent blockage of the vacuum duct. A warning message and the Trash Full indicator on the machine status screen indicate when the scrap bin is full.
  • Page 24 409-35011 Electrical enclosure and panels The electrical enclosure and panels (Figure 24) contains all of the electrical components (servo motor drives, logic controllers, safety relays, etc.) for controlling the machine. DANGER The electrical enclosure contains no user-serviceable parts. Do not open the door. Opening this door always presents the danger of electrical shock and must be performed only by qualified personnel.
