Abstract
There is disclosed a terminal crimping apparatus which comprises a crimping machine (29) for connecting a cable connection portion (2a) of crimp terminals (2) to a cable end by crimping the cable connection portion (2a), a terminal frame supply mechanism (30) for intermittently supplying the crimp terminals (2) in the form of a terminal frame (4) to the crimping machine (29), and a terminal attitude correcting unit (36) for the crimp terminals provided on the way of a supply path of the terminal frame to the crimping machine (29). The terminal frame supply mechanism (30) includes a terminal guide jig (35) having guide grooves (34) for guiding carriers (1) of the terminal frame (4), and the terminal attitude correcting unit (36) is provided on the way of the guide path of the terminal frame (4) by means of the terminal guide jig (35). The terminal attitude correcting unit (36) includes an attitude correcting jig (38) having a groove (37) releasably receiving the cable connection portion (2a) of the crimp terminals (2). The attitude correcting jig (38) is extended and retracted by an air cylinder (39) between an attitude correction position in the supply path in which the cable connection portion (2a) is fitted in the groove (37) and the attitude of the cable connection portion (2a) is corrected to a predetermined direction and a retracted position deviated from the supply path. The terminal crimping apparatus is therefore prevented from crimp-connecting defects of the crimp terminals (2).
