ABSTRACT:
A machine for assembling components in the form of ferrules (22) to electrical terminals (10) arranged in side-by-side strip form, comprises a rotary disc cam (50) with respective cam tracks (78 to 86) in which cam followers are connected to a feed member (26) for advancing the strip terminals (10), a shuttle (30) for presenting the ferrules (22) to an assembly station (AS) of the machine, an inserter (32) for taking each ferrule (22) from the shuttle (30) and assembling it to a respective terminal (10), a crimper (34) for crimping the ferrule (22) to the terminal (10) and a back-up device (36) for supporting the terminal (10) during the crimping operation. During each half revolution of the disc cam (50), the shuttle presents a ferrule (22) to the assembly station (AS) the inserter (32) inserts it over the terminal (10') at the assembly station (AS) and the crimper (34) and the backup device (36) cooperate to crimp the ferrule (22) to the terminal (10).
