ABSTRACT:
An apparatus is provided for accurately sensing the presence of an end of a wire in a position for stripping insulation therefrom or crimping a terminal thereto. The apparatus comprises a housing having an aperture extending therethrough for delivering a flow of low pressure air. A target is pivotally mounted to the housing and can undergo a small range of pivotal movement. The flow of air through the housing will urge the target to one extreme position in its range of pivotal movement. However, the end of a wire urged into contact with the target will cause the sensor target to pivot through its range of movement into a position for blocking the flow of air through the housing. Back pressure created by the blockage of air through the housing will be sensed by appropriate apparatus to initiate portions of the apparatus for stripping insulation from the wire or crimping a terminal thereto.
