MODULAR FEED TRACK FOR A TERMINAL APPLICATOR

摘要

A terminal applicator (10) for attaching terminals (30) to the ends of wires is disclosed. The applicator includes a terminal feed assembly (26) that attaches to the base (18) of the applicator and a carriage (46) that is used to position the feed path (170) of the terminals (30) between the crimping tooling (20, 22). Two support surfaces (114, 134) provide vertical support and alignment for the terminal while a guide surface (162) provides lateral guidance. One of the support surfaces (134) is positionable laterally and the guide surface (162) is positionable both laterally and vertically for accommodating terminals of different types and sizes.
