SM1700
Pneumatic
Center Punch
Tool
Tool Overview:
• The SM1700 has been designed to automatically tension, lock and cut-off scrap tails of CP
style clamps. Type 201 Stainless Steel and Galvanized Carbon Steel, 5/8” wide CP style
clamps can be easily installed on hose assemblies or objects chosen by the operator.
• The SM1700 will sense when the desired clamp tail tension is achieved and automatically
switch to finalize the clamp. The completion of each clamp includes setting the lock while
simultaneously cutting off the excess clamp tail without requiring an assembly roll-up action.
• Operating tip: Choose a clamp diameter close to the size of the diameter of the object
being clamped. An oversized clamp may cause the End-of-Stroke safety switch to activate
and prevent finalizing the clamp with a lock and cut-off (see page 6, #6 and page 7, #4).
• The SM1700 directs compressed air through a foot pedal control to cycle the tool and
complete the installation of BAND-IT Center Punch Clamps. The foot pedal has a dual
action, forward (toe) and reverse (heel). During normal operation, the operator should fully
depress the foot pedal forward (toe), not removing this pedal pressure until the cycle has
completed and clamp tail is ready to be removed from the tool.
• Upon completion of the tension, lock and cut-off cycle, the operator should depress the heel
end of the pedal and remove the scrap clamp tail from the CP head.
• Operating tip: Operation can be stopped at any time by removing the operator’s foot
completely from the foot pedal control.
Tool Overview
and Installation
Tool Installation:
1. Recommended work bench height is 34” – 40”. This height is suggested as the optimum
range for operator comfort and safety during typical clamp applications. Locate the tool on a
solid surface making sure of ample clearance on either side for handling hose assemblies of
various lengths.
2. The air tool must be firmly secured as close to the front edge of the work bench as possible.
This will reduce interference of hose assemblies during clamp application. Install tool using
5/16” diameter fastening hardware (not supplied with tool).
3. Use of the SM1700 without properly maintained filtration and lubrication will void the
warranty. See page 4 for additional information on air supply requirements.
