ABSTRACT:
An electrical terminal applicator is disclosed for crimping terminals onto wires, with the terminals being secured to a tape in a side-by-side relationship. An applicator ram is drivable in a first path through a working stroke towards, and a return stroke away from, a crimping anvil. A crimping die on the applicator ram cooperates with the anvil to crimp a portion of a terminal onto a wire during each working stroke of the ram. A track guides the tape in a second path which intersects the first path of the ram. A tape feeding system includes a shuttle member adapted for linear reciprocal movement alongside the second path of the tape in an advancing stroke towards, and a return stroke away from, the crimping anvil. The shuttle member has at least one tooth for engaging indexing apertures in the tape and incrementally advancing the tape on the advancing stroke of the shuttle member. Fixed stop teeth engage the indexing apertures of the tape to prevent the tape from moving back away from the crimping anvil on the return stroke of the shuttle member. The stroke of the shuttle member is adjustable.
