ABSTRACT:
An apparatus (40) is disclosed for crimping a terminal (12) onto a wire (10) thereby forming a crimped wire assembly (32). The apparatus includes an upper die form tool (78) and a mating lower deep crimping nest (74) for performing the crimping operation. A terminal feed unit (86) is provided for feeding a strip (24) of terminals along a feed path (180) and positioning each terminal, in turn, in crimping position between the mating tooling. A lifting arm (134) is provided for separating the crimped wire assembly (32) from the deep crimping nest (74). The arm is pivotally attached to the apparatus and includes a first end having a camming surface (160, 162) arranged to engage the crimped wire assembly, and upon pivoting of the arm, the camming surface cams the crimped wire assembly (32) out of the deep crimping nest (74) in a direction (178) substantially perpendicular to the feed path (180) and then moves the wire assembly (32) in a direction along the feed path.
