  • Patent number: 11276976
    Abstract: Terminal crimping device and terminal crimping method is provided that collectively crimp-connects a terminal to an electric wire while suppressing displacement of the terminal at a crimp position. A terminal crimping device includes a cutting part configured to cut from the carrier each of the two or more terminals belonging to one terminal set at one end side in the terminal coupled body; a terminal conveyance part configured to convey the two or more terminals cut at the cutting part to a crimp position corresponding to the predetermined interval while adjusting a terminal interval of the two or more terminals to an arrangement interval of the covered electric wire at the crimp position in a conveyance direction (longitudinal direction) of the terminal coupled body; and a crimping part configured to collectively crimp-connect to the electric wire each of the two or more terminals conveyed to the crimp position.

  • Patent number: 11121517
    Abstract: A core wire deformation jig and a method for deforming a plurality of core wires which are exposed from an end of a multi-core cable for a further working step. The jig includes a first clamping unit for clamping the core wires aligned on the arranging plane in a first clamping direction intersecting the arranging plane, a separation pin for separating the core wires, wherein the separation pin is inserted between the core wires in a insertion direction parallel to the first clamping direction, and a second clamping unit for providing bends to the core wires by clamping the core wires in a second clamping direction parallel to the arranging plane and intersecting the plurality of core wires and applying a pressure on the core wires, with the separation pin inserted between the core wires.
