Abstract
A crimp height adjusting mechanism in a machine for crimping terminals onto the ends of conductors of flexible flat cables. The adjusting mechanism is interposed between the movable crimping die and its drive mechanism and effects changes in crimp height by varying its length. The adjusting mechanism utilizes a sliding wedge block that causes a followed member to extend or recede a desired amount. An adjusting screw controls the sliding movement of the wedge so that very precise changes in crimp height can be achieved.
