Automatic press facility
The tool features an automatic pressing facility. This ensures a full pressing at all times. For safety
reasons, the automatic pressing facility only switches off after reaching a specific pressing force or
travelling a specific distance (after approx. 2 seconds). Until then, the pressing process can be interrupted
at any time by releasing the Start button (1). If you release the Start button (1) before tool is ready for
automatic pressing (Zwag), the piston will stop at the position it has reached. The red lamp will flash. Press
Start button (1) to retract the piston. Press Start button (1) for approx. 2 seconds for a new pressing. Once
the automatic pressing facility responds, the pressing process will run through automatically and cannot be
interrupted by releasing the Start button (1). This process can only be interrupted by actuating the Stop
button (2).
Stop button
Stop button (2) has 2 functions:
1. Emergency stop: Pressing Stop button (2) will immediately shut down the motor.
2. Reset: The fault indicator will be cleared. For further procedure, refer to Section 10. Brief description
of LED indicator
Press jaws without sensor (closed jaw sensor)
The press jaw contains a chip that determines closing force and press stroke. These setpoints are
monitored by the tool while pressing is in progress. The press tool switches off when these pressing
setpoints are reached. This completes the pressing cycle.
In the event of variation, the pressing cycle will be interrupted and the tool will switch off. The red lamp (3)
will light up. The signal tone sounds 6 times. The pressing is not completed and may give rise to
connection leakage. For further procedure, refer to Section 10. Brief description of LED indicator
Press jaws with sensor (closed jaw sensor)
In this case, the closed jaw sensor tells the press tool that the press jaw is closed, i.e. the pressing has
been completed. The press tool switches off.
If the sensor in the press jaw fails to send a signal to the control system when maximum pressing force is
reached, the sensor will cause the pressing cycle to be interrupted. The press jaws will remain in the
position they have reached and the red lamp (3) will light up. The signal tone sounds 6 times. For further
procedure, refer to Section 10. Brief description of LED indicator
5.
Starting:
5.1. Connect the press tool to a power supply. (See type plate for voltage).
Green lamp (4) will flash.
5.2. Fit press jaw or intermediate jaw into press tool as follows:
5.3. Pull out retaining pin (10).
5.4. Fit press jaw / intermediate jaw into press tool.
5.5. Press retaining pin (10) in all the way
Note
The tool will not be ready to start if retaining pin (10) is not pressed in all the way. Green lamp (4)
will flash.
In the case of jaws with sensor, green LED (4) will only light up continuously when the jaw is open
or a fitting is inserted.
6.
Pressing
Press jaw
6.1 Check whether the nominal size of the press fitting matches the nominal size of the press jaw.
6.2 Open press jaw by pressing down one jaw lever.
6.3 Fit press jaw onto press fitting in such a way that the groove in the press jaw is aligned with the fitting
bead. Close press jaw by releasing jaw lever.
Note:
Make sure that there is no dirt, swarf, etc. in the jaw's press contour.
Failure to do so will result in pressing faults.
6.4 Press and hold down Start button (1) for at least 2 s until the automatic pressing facility starts.
6.5 Release press jaw from press fitting by pressing down one jaw lever.
