ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to a method of controlling torque in an electric motor driven connector applicator which applies a desired torque to a twist-on wire connector and a plurality of wire ends positioned within the connector. A desired level of torque is first determined by the connector applicator operator. The torque applied by the connector applicator as it turns a wire connector about the wire ends positioned therein is monitored until the desired level of torque has been reached. The connector applicator is stopped and then rotated in a reverse direction to release the connector held therein.
