- Sorting of terminals
- Feeding and positioning of single terminals in the crimp applicator
- Guiding and positioning of stripped wire ends inside the terminals (which are already positioned inside the crimp applicator of the machine)
- Crimping of the terminals (4-indent crimp) including quality assurance
- Extracting the terminal after crimping without damaging the terminal.
- Type 1: Vertical feeding with crimp zone up This terminal type has a „collar“ (or shoulder) between connection area and crimp zone. Its center of gravity is below the “collar” in the connection area
- Type 2: Horizontal feeding Type 2 terminals have no „collar“ and their center of gravity is not clearly defined. Therefore suspended feeding is not possible and the terminal must be fed horizontally.
- Type 3: Vertical feeding with crimp zone down This terminal type also has a „collar“, but its center of gravity requires „upside-down“ feeding, with the crimp zone down.
