Abstract
A terminator assembly for a terminal crimping machine includes a drive member and a first ram member coupled to the drive member. The drive member moves the first ram member in a first direction toward a crimping zone of the terminal crimping machine, and a second direction away from the crimping zone of the terminal crimping machine. The terminator assembly also includes a second ram member movable with respect to the first ram member to control the crimp height of the terminal crimping machine. The second ram member includes a base portion configured to engage at least one of an applicator assembly and crimp-tooling. An adjusting mechanism is coupled to each of the first and second ram members. The adjusting mechanism is configured to adjust a relative position of the first ram member with respect to the second ram member. A motor is operatively coupled to a drive shaft, and the drive shaft engages the adjusting mechanism for driving the adjusting mechanism.
