There is provided a terminal crimping apparatus which can detect a crimping failure mode which produces a transversely asymmetrical crimped shape in a crimped product. The terminal crimping apparatus includes an anvil (A) which is a lower die on which a conductor crimping portion () of a terminal () is place and a crimper (A) which is an upper die which bends inwards a pair of left and right crimping pieces (L,R) of the conductor crimping portion (), and the terminal crimping apparatus further includes a detection device which detects a transversely unbalanced load in the upper and lower dies (A,B) in a crimping process in which the upper die (A) is pressed down towards the lower die (A) so as to crimp the pair of left and right crimping pieces (L,R) on to a conductor (Wa) of an electric wire so as to crimp the conductor (Wa).
