Assembly Procedure For The Insertion Head
To assemble the insertion head assembly, proceed as follows. Refer to the
illustrations on the pages that follow.
1. Lubricate with anderol and install pusher (1) into slide (12). Set aside.
2. Lubricate both cam surfaces on the slide actuator (6) with anderol.
3. Apply a light coat of anderol into the slot and both grooves of the jaw
guide (3).
4. Install the compression springs (2) into the jaw guide (3).
5. Install the right and left jaw clamps (4 and 5) over the springs and onto
the jaw guide. Hold the assembly together until the slide actuator (6) is
installed.
6. Install the slide actuator (6) over the jaw guide to secure the left and
right jaw clamps to the jaw guide.
7. Install the compression spring (7) by inserting the spring through the
opening between the slide actuator and the jaw guide.
8. Clean the threads and apply Loctite 242 to the cap screws.
9. Be careful not to separate the slide actuator from the jaw guide. Install
the jaw guide into the block (8).
10. While keeping the jaw guide in the block, install the cap screws (9) into
the block. Do not tighten the screws.
11. Install the dowel pin (15) into the block and jaw, then tighten the cap
screws (9). Check for movement from front to back.
12. Install the jaw guide assembly (3) into the housing.
13. Install the arm actuator (14) into the top plate assembly (10).
14. Install the slide (12) into the housing (11).
15. Install the top plate assembly (10) to the housing, (11) and secure with
