A terminal crimping machine has an insulation stripping unit and a plurality of terminal crimping units disposed laterally of a transfer conveyor path. The transfer conveyor carries a number of wire transfer units for gripping insulated wires cut to predetermined lengths and travels intermittently. Each terminal crimping unit has a crimping bed for vertically moving from a position below the level of the ends of wires being transferred to the level of the ends of the wires. A crimping die is disposed above the crimping bed and adapted for vertical movement for crimping terminals. The arrangement is such that when a wire which corresponds to a particular one of the terminal crimping units is fed to that unit, in accordance with a signal from a separate control device, the corresponding crimping bed is raised while the crimping die is lowered to effect a terminal crimping operation. However, wires which do not correspond to the particular terminal crimping unit are allowed to pass thereover.
