ABSTRACT:
A terminal crimping apparatus is equipped with a vertically reciprocating crimper for crimping a terminal to an exposed conductive portion of an electric wire and an anvil opposing to the crimper. The crimper is vertically reciprocated by an activation device, such as a servo-motor. The apparatus has a sensor to monitor a load applied to the activation device or to monitor the height of the crimper when the terminal is crimped. A driver control for the apparatus includes a decision section comparing the monitored load or the monitored crimper height with predetermined reference data to determine whether the terminal is correctly crimped.
