Definitions
- the pipe is then opened to exhaust through a valve so that the shear plate is driven down by the clamp to lay the stripped wire end in a ferrule on a crimping anvil before the dies and can engage the ferrule. Risk of the wire end being nipped be tween the dies and the ferrule is thus avoided.
- This invention relates to crimping presses and more particularly to crimpng presses for strpping insulation from an end of an insulated wire and moving the strpped end of the wire into ferrnle means and then crimping the ferrnle means onto the conductive and insulation means of the wire without darnage thereto.
- the apparatus comprises a clamping device for gripping the wire at a position back from its end, a pair of insulation-severing blades arranged to be closed about the insulation of the wire at a position between its end and the clarnping device to sever the insulation and being arranged thereafter to be moved axially of the wire end to drag the insulation therefrom, the clamping device beng arranged then to be moved so as to positon the stripped wire and in a U- section electrical ferrule disposed upon a crimping anvil, a crimping die being movable towards the anvil by a press ram to crimp the ferrule to the wire end, the clarnping device comprising a first clarnping member movable With the ram and a second clamping member mounted beside the anvil, the first clamp
- the die engages the ferrule simultaneously with the laying of the wire in the ferrule so that strands of the electrically-conductive core of the wire, where the wire is a stranded wire as is usually the 3,588,984 Patented June 29, 1971 case and especially where the gauge of the wire is large with respect to the ferrule, may be trapped between the die and the ferrule and accordingly broken ofl.
- the ferrule has a portion for receiving part of the insulation of the wire adjacent the stripped end of the wire core, this part of the insulation may be pinched between the die and the ferrule portion and thus darnaged.
- the second clamping member which is snpported dnring the insulation severing and stripping operations is released imrnediately after the stripping operation so that the second clarnping member is depressed by the first clarnping member to lay the stripped wire end in the ferrule prior to the crirnping die engaging the ferrule.
- the second clamping member is supported by compressed air supplied to a chamber of the second clamping member through a change-over valve whch serves to apply a blast of compressed air to c1ear the severed insulation from the apparatus when the chamber is evacuated to release the second clamping member.
- the first clampng mernber may have wire-gripping surfaces disposed on a rod which is slidable wthin the first clamping member and can be axially adjusted in accordance with the gauge of the wire to be clamped, the second wire-clarnping mernber having a recess for receiving the end of the rod npon which the clamping surfaces of the first wire-clamping rnember are formed.
- An addtional object is that the ]ength of the wire end from whch insulation is to be stripped may be determined by the axial adjustment of a wire stop which is automatically shifted after the wire has been clamped between the clarnping members, to permit the insulationsevering blades to be moved axially of the wire end to drag the insulation therefrom.
- a still additionai object is that the latch mechanism may conveniently be a self-contained pnenrnatic unit incorporated in an assembly associated with the ram.
- a sti1l further object is that the insulation-stripping blades, the change-over valve, and the wire stop may be formed as a single unit which can be detached from the apparatns where it is not required to strip the insulation from the wire end, e.g. where the ferrule has means, e.g. lances, for piercing the insulation of the wire.
- the ram may have a plate-shaped die for crimping the ferrule portion for crimping to the insulation of the wire, whch die is adjustable by screws engaging the inclined surfaces formed on an edge of the pIate-shaped die.

- the cam surfaces 74 pass over the rear edges of the cam surfaces 76, the blade carriers 64 are forced apart by the spring 80.
- a bell-crank 82 mounted to pivot about a shaft 84 (FIGS. 2 and 4) engaged by a charnfered surface (not shown) of the cross-bar from which the actuators 78 depend, to cause the slide 68 and thus the blades 62 to be driven leftwardly (as seen in FIG. 4) against the acton of the spring 70.
- the return travel of the slide 68 is adjustable by a screw 83 in the bellcrank 82.
- a wire end stop 86 axially slidable in a bore 87 in the unit 69 is urged by a spring 88 leftwardly (as seen in FIG. 4), the left-hand end of the wire stop 86 being formed as a piston 90 drivable against the acton of the spring 88 by compressed air supplied through an inlet pipe 92, which also acts as an outlet pipe since the pistonand-cylinder unit formed by the piston 90 and bore 87 is single acting.
- the wire stop 86 has a portion 94 threaded in the bore 87 for adjusting the axial end positions of the wire stop 86.
- the cam of the ram assembly 6 has a short flat cam surface 102 and adjacent the surface 102, a recess 106.
- the cam 100 cooperates with a compressed air supply change-over spool valve 96, the spool (not shown) of which is pneumatically operated upon the cam surface 102 depressing an actuating ball 98 of the valve 96 to cause compressed air supplied to the valve 96 from the pipe 52 via the base 2 and an inlet pipe 99 to pass through an outlet blower pipe 101 having an outlet opening (not shown) in the vicinity of the blades 62 When in their retracted, i.e. fully leftward (as seen in FIG. 4) position.
- the pipe 26 In the depressed condition of the ball 98 the pipe 26 is open to exhaust through an exhaust port 103, When the ball 98 is not depressed the compressed air from the pipe 99 passes through the pipe 26 to the hole 20.
- the ram assembly 6 preferably has a spring-loaded connector hold-down plate 105 (FIG. 2).
- the pedal switch mentioned above is connected to an electronic control circuit (not shown) the operation of which is described below.
- the pressure pad is raised with the aid of the device 9 and the strip ST is disposed on the plate 4 with the carrier strip CS and ferrules F1 and FC beneath the pad 5.
- the leading connector EC1 of the strip ST is placed on the anvil 16, the carrier strip CS extending through the slot 31 of the member 18 and through a corresponding slot 19a in the shear block 19, as shown in broken lines in FIG. 5.
- the pad 5 is then released so that the springs 7 urge the pad 5 towards the plate 4 to hold the strip ST firmly in position.
- the unstripped end of the wire W is laid in the notch 28 of the shear member 18, as shown in FIG. 5, so that the extremity of the wire W engages the wire stop 86, as shown in FIG. 9A, the stop 86 being in its fully advanced position under the action of compressed air supplied to bore 87 through the pipe 92 via a valve (not shown) actuated by the electronic control circuit.
- the pedal switch is now actuated so that the control circuit causes compressed air to be supplied through the pipe 92 and through pipes 93A to drive the wire clamp latch member 42 leftwardly (as seen in FIGS. 5 and 8) against the action of the spring 43 so that the latching projection 44 is released from the notch 46 of the clamp 36 so that the clamp 36 is advanced by the spring 38 into the broken line position of FIGS. 5 and 8 and thus into engagement with the shear member 18 so that the wire W is trapped in the notch 28 being gripped between the serrated surface of the notch 28 and the serrated surface 58 of the rod 56.
- the surface 102 of the cam 100 now depresses the actuating hall 98 of the valve 96 to change the valve 96 over so that air is exhausted from the hole 20 of the shear member 18 through the pipe 26 leaving the shear member 18 unsupported against the action of the spring 38 of the wire clamp 36. Compressed air is accordingly supplied to the blower pipe 101 to eject the portion of insulation dragged from the end of the wire W, from the apparatus.
- the member 18 is depressed under the action of the spring 38 and of the motor driving the ram assembly 6, so that the bared end of the electrically-conductive core C of the wire W is lowered into the crimping ferrule FW of the leading connector EC1 on the anvil 16, the portion of insulation adjacent the bared end of the core C being lowered into the ferrule F1 of the connector EC1.
- the dies 12 and 14 crimp the ferrules F1 and FC respectively, to the bared end of the wire core C and to the adjacent portion of insulation, the shear member depressor 32 further depressing the shear member 18 so that the shear edge 30 cooperates with th corresponding shear edges of the shear block 17 and anvil assembly 16 to shear the carrier strip CS along the lines A and B so that the leading connector EC1 is separated from the strip ST.
- valve 96 now enters the recess 106 of the cam 100 so that the valve 96 is reset so that compressed air is again sup plied through the pipe 26 into the hole 20 so that the member 18 is supported against the action of the wire clamp 36 to ensure that the wire clamp 36 is driven into the depressor 32 against the action of the spring 38 to a sufiicient extent to cause the latching projection 44 to re-engage in the notch 46 of the wire clamp 36 so that the clamp 36 is locked to the depressor 32.
- the wire clamp 36 ascends with the depressor 32 so that the member 18 is forced to ascend with the wire clamp 3 6 after the surface 102 of the cam 100 has cleared the hall 98 of the switch 96.
- compressed air is supplied to the piston-and-cylinder unit 10 under the action of a control valve (not shown) operated by the ram assembly 6 to advance the feed finger 8 to advance the strip ST so that the next connector EC of the strip ST is positioned on the anvil 16 in readiness for the next cycle of operation of the apparatus.
- the feed finger 8 is retracted during the working stroke of the ram assembly 6, the working tip 11 of the feed finger riding over the connectors of the strip ST by virtue of the spring loading of the feed finger 8. Compressed air is also supplied through the pipe 92 under the action of the control circuit, again to advance the wire stop 86 against the action of its spring '87.
- the apparatus is to be used with connectors (not shown) having means, e.g. lances or serrations for piercing the insulation of the wire so that the wire is not required to be stripped, the unit 29 can be dismounted from the base 2 and the apparatus used as an ordinary crirnping press without wire-stripping means.
