The principal parts of the Press Shut Height Gauge are shown in Figure 1.
Operation
To measure the press shut height, use the following procedure:
1. Disconnect electrical power from the press.
2. Remove the crimp applicator from the press.
3. Wipe the applicator mounting surfaces (upper and lower) in the press clean.
4. Hand-cycle the press ram to its highest position (TDC).
5. Place the Shut Height Gauge in the press with the cap centered under the ram and the bottom plate resting flat on
the press base plate. See Figure 2.
Note: Some presses may require some mounting hardware to be loosened or removed from the base plate so the
Shut Height Gauge can rest flat.
