ABSTRACT:
A preprogrammed microprocessor controlled apparatus for controlling automatic wire crimping equipment. The equipment disclosed is adapted to perform, in automatic sequence, a plurality of wire crimping steps on a dynamoelectric machine such as a motor. A wide variety of crimp height settings is selectively inserted by the equipment operator to achieve optimum crimp height for each crimp step to be performed. The crimp height setting mechanism includes an eccentric cam positioned by means of a pulse operated stepper motor with correct positioning indicated by a feed back pulse train from the cam shaft position encoder which pulse train is compared with the input information established by the equipment operator. Automatic and semi-automatic sequencing modes of operation are provided as determined by input selections established by the equipment operator. A stuffer wire control mechanism is also disclosed with provision for automatically determining an incorrect stuffer wire operation and for providing a sequence of operation enabling the equipment operator to correct the stuffer wire operation in a given crimp step.
