What is an automatic terminal machine? What is the principle of an automatic terminal machine?

　　An automatic terminal crimping machine is a piece of equipment that automates the processes of wire processing and terminal crimping. It integrates wire feeding, stripping, terminal feeding, and crimping into one system. Through mechanical transmission, sensor control, and programmed settings, it achieves highefficiency and stable terminal processing.

　　Its core principle is to use a stepper motor or servo motor to drive the wire feeding mechanism, delivering the wire to the stripping unit according to the preset length. Blades then precisely remove the outer jacket and part of the insulation layer. Next, the terminal feeding mechanism positions the terminal accurately at the crimping location, and the mold closes to complete the crimping operation.

Functions and Features

　　Function:

　　In mass wire harness production, it is used to securely connect terminals to wires, ensuring both electrical conductivity and mechanical strength.

　　Features:

　　1. High Automation Level – Reduces manual intervention, increasing production speed.

　　2. Stable Crimping Precision – Avoids quality variations caused by operator inconsistencies.

　　3. Versatility – By changing molds or adjusting programs, it can handle multiple terminal types.

　　4. Integrated Quality Monitoring – Equipped with detection functions to monitor crimping pressure and position in real time, reducing defect rates.
