What is an Automatic Terminal Machine?

　　An automatic terminal machine automates wire processing and terminal crimping. It integrates wire feeding, stripping, terminal insertion, and crimping. Through mechanical transmission, sensor control, and programmable programming, it achieves highly efficient and stable terminal processing. Its core principle is to use a stepper motor or servo motor to drive the feed mechanism, feeding the wire to a set length into the stripping unit. A cutter then precisely removes the outer wire and some insulation. The terminal feed mechanism then precisely moves the terminal to the crimping position, and the die closes to complete the crimping.

 

Functions and Features of Automatic Terminal Machines

　　Function: In mass production of wire harnesses, it securely connects terminals to wires, ensuring continuity and mechanical strength.

　　Features:

　　1. High degree of automation, reducing manual labor and increasing production speed.

　　2. Stable crimping accuracy, eliminating quality fluctuations caused by manual labor.

　　3. Ability to adapt to various terminal models by replacing dies or adjusting the program.

　　4. Equipped with a detection function, it can monitor crimping pressure and position in real time, reducing defective rates.

 

Applicable terminal shapes or types

　　• Open-end terminals (such as O-type, U-type, and fork-type)

　　• Closed-end terminals (such as barrel-type and flag-type terminals)

　　• European-style terminals, spring-loaded terminals, and connector pin terminals

　　• Some insulated terminals or sheathed terminals (requires a dedicated mold)
