Wire Belt has custom designed the Compact Grid Splicing Tool Kit to make splicing as simple and easy as possible. Each Tool Kit includes two CG-Splice Levers, and one set of CG-Splice Pliers. These tools are especially designed to help align and crimp the belt into place. The CG-Splice Pliers are designed to provide a perfectly shaped crimp, making the splice joint complete without damaging surrounding wire strands, or over-crimping the splice strand.
Step 1
Once the belt has been passed through the conveyor circuit and properly located on the drive and idler components, the leading belt-end hooks (Strand A) will align with the trailing belt-end loops (Strand B)… as shown in this photo.
Step 2
Insert the leading belt-end hooks (Strand A) into the trailing belt-end loops (Strand B) as shown.
Step 3
Once the hooks and loops are joined together, the belt should be slightly tensioned before the final steps in the splicing operation are performed. Be careful not to over-tension the belt at this point, because a little slack will be required for the next step.
Step 4
Insert the CG-Splice Levers into the belt hooks and loops as shown here. Apply a slight amount of pressure to the lever to form a tented position. Hook the end of the lever into the next strand to lock the tented strand in place. (As shown below in Step 4 A–D).
