ABSTRACT:
A machine (10) is disclosed for inserting terminals (22) into a substrate (14). The machine (10) includes an insertion head (90) having an improved mechanism for shearing the terminal (22) from its carrier strip (26). The shearing mechanism includes a die (124) and opposing punch (130) arranged to cooperatively engage the terminal to sever it from its carrier strip. A pair of pivoting cam arms (154), each having a die side cam surface (164) and a punch side cam surface (166), are arranged to move the die (124) and punch (130) into shearing engagement with the terminal upon pivoting of the two cam arms. A pair of followers (168, 170) are in following engagement with the die side and punch side cam surfaces (164, 166) so that when the followers are moved vertically by a linear actuator (184), the followers cause the cam arms to pivot.
