ABSTRACT:
A terminal crimping apparatus for performing a crimping operation to crimp a wire barrel end of an electrical terminal on a stripped bare wire end of an electrical conductor, includes a reciprocal ram having a crimping tool cooperable with a crimping anvil and movable between a die open or ready position and a crimping position. The crimping apparatus also includes a device for monitoring the crimped height of the terminal on the conductor during each crimping operation. The monitoring device can be adjusted to accommodate different terminal and conductor configurations. Once calibrated, the monitoring device can be operated in an automatic mode and can be set to automatically stop the terminal crimping apparatus in the event that the crimped height of a terminal and conductor is greater than a selectable and setable high limit or is less than a selectable and setable low limit. The monitoring device operates on the principle that there is a relationship between crimping pressure and desired crimped height.
