ABSTRACT:
A machine and method are disclosed for attaching a coaxial connector to the end of a coaxial cable. The machine seats the cable end having a preassembled contact into the connector housing, latching the contact in place, then conducts a pull test to verify proper latching. The jaws that grip the cable during insertion of the contact and pull testing are used to push the ferrule over the braided signal conductor prior to crimping the ferrule. A single air cylinder is used, at a relatively low pressure, to seat the contact and at a relatively high pressure to seat the ferrule. A constant force return spring is used to apply a predetermined test force to the jaws during the pull test. A high voltage test may be conducted at two points in the operating cycle.
