TERMINAL CRIMPING DEVICE

摘要

An apparatus for crimping a terminal includes a crimper vertically reciprocating to crimp electric terminals to conductors of a striped wire, and anvil opposing the crimper, and an operating mechanism for vertically reciprocating the crimper. The operating mechanism has a piston-crank apparatus to vertically reciprocate a ram attached to the crimper and a servo-motor connected to a circular plate in the piston-crank mechanism by way of a reduction gear. The operating mechanism also has a control device that stops the servo-motor for a given time period when the crimper is positioned at its lowest position to prevent spring-back of the crimper material.
