Automatic terminal crimping apparatus.

摘要

There is disclosed an automatic terminal crimping apparatus (1) which comprises a cable cutting station (3), a mark positioning station (4), a mark location rotating station (5), a stripping station (6) and a terminal crimping station (7). The mark positioning station (4) includes a television camera (14) for image processing which senses a discrimination mark (8) of a high-voltage resistant cable (2), and circumferentially rotates the high-voltage resistant cable (2) and stops the rotation upon detection of the discrimination mark (8). At the mark location rotating station (5), the high-voltage resistant cable (2) positioned at the mark positioning station (4) is circumferentially rotated through a predetermined angle to orient the discrimination mark 8 in a predetermined direction. The automatic terminal crimping apparatus (1) is thus capable of performing a series of operations including cutting of the high-voltage resistant cable (2), positioning of the discrimination mark (8) with respect to a bent terminal (18), and crimping of the bent terminal (18).
