ABSTRACT:
The present invention is a crimping tool that utilizes a die member having a die opening for receiving a terminal therein to be crimped. The tool includes a crimping station that is within the die opening. The terminals are arranged on a carrier strip and are automatically fed into crimping position within the opening of the die while the terminal remains in position on the carrier strip. The feeding mechanism pivots the strip of terminals away from the crimping dies, feeds the strip of terminals one position, and then pivots the strip back into position so that the next terminal is moved into crimping position within the crimping die opening. A single cam member is provided that is moved by a linear actuator, such as an air cylinder, and effects and controls all functional operating motions for the mechanisms of the tool, including actuating the crimping dies and operating the terminal feed mechanism.
