ABSTRACT:
The present invention is directed to an apparatus and method for a unique crimping applicator which significantly advances a carrier strip (1.3 inches) to allow for the crimping of widely spaced terminals and a large variety of terminal sizes and configurations. The dual cam system includes a ram and a cam lever external to the ram which simultaneously move downward thereby activating the crimping process and simultaneously loading a compression spring assembly. In a preferred embodiment, an air feed is interchangeable with the spring assembly. Three disks allow more accurate adjustments for the crimp height, thus allowing a larger range of wire gauges than prior art devices. Allowing a wide variety of wire gauges enables the crimping of two or more wires into the same terminal using a single device. In a preferred embodiment, three disks allow the crimping applicator to accept approximately four different wire gauges or two ranges of wire gauges.
