Abstract

An object of the present invention is to provide a terminal crimping machine which assures that undesirable bending of a cable caused due to the fact that a terminal firmly fitted into a crimper is raised up together with the crimper after the time of terminal crimping is reduced as far as possible. A terminal crimping machine includes a crimper 3, an anvil 4 located opposite to the crimper 1, and a stopper 13 composed of a terminal disconnecting piece 14 and an arm piece 15, and the arm piece 15 is turnably disposed on a guide frame 11 of the ram 2 to turn about a pin 12. A tension spring 20 is bridged between the arm piece 15 and a spring fixing piece 19. As the ram 2 is lowered, it comes in slidable contact with the arm piece 15 so as to allow the arm piece 15 assume an upright attitude. At this time, the terminal disconnecting piece 14 is located at the terminal disconnecting position higher than the anvil 4 by a predetermined distance. When the crimper 3 is raised up in excess of the terminal disconnecting position, the arm piece 14 is disengaged from the ram 2, causing the stopper 13 to be turned to the crimper 3 side by the resilient power of the tension spring 20. When the ram 2 reaches an upper dead point, an outer edge portion 16 of the stopper 13 is located inside of the lower end of the crimper 3.
