MODEL 930 WIRE STRIPPING MACHINE
6
Ø The secondary adjusting point on this machine is the side centering bolts. These are
the bolts with lock nuts on them located on the side of both bearing housings that
adjust the top cutting assembly from right to left.
o It is generally not recommended to adjust these bolts unless the smallest
channel cutting blades are not centered in the cutting channel. To access
this, the user will look down the smallest left channels and visually gauge if
the blades are centered. If these centering bolts have too much play in them,
the entire cutting channel can move too much from right to left during running
wire.
o If the blades are not centered or have too much play, they can be adjusted.
You really only need the entire cutter assembly (from bearing housing on
right to bearing housing on left) to have about 1/16” of play. Essentially, you
just need enough room for the centering bolts to allow the entire assembly to
raise when a piece of wire goes through the channel and pushes up the entire
cutter assembly. It is generally recommended to set the centering bolts by
unscrewing the centering bolts on both sides of the assembly a few
turns. Then looking down the left (small wire) cutting channels, tap the
housing right or left to get the blades in the center of the channel. Screw the
bolts in evenly from both sides (right and left bolts). Be careful here not to
move the entire assembly. When they are tight against the housings, take
another look down the left channel guides making sure the cutters are still in
the center of the channel groove. If they are not, readjust. Next loosen the
centering bolts by about ½ a turn on both the right and left side. This leaves
just enough of an air gap to allow the cutting assembly to raise, but not travel
too much from right to left. Next tighten the lock nuts. Make sure not to
tighten or loosen the centering bolt on this step by using another wrench to
ensure it doesn’t spin.
