energized, cycling the machine one revolution. The upper die will bottom to crimp the product. At the same
time, the indexing mechanism is retracted and the wire stop assembly is raised by the mechanical linkage
to the machine transmission.
After the product is crimped, the machine ram begins to raise the upper tooling and the indexing
mechanism moves forward. As the ram continues the upward stroke, linkage to the machine mechanical
feed is actuated to ratchet the tape feed belt forward one increment to position the next product in the
crimping area. In addition, the wire funnel is actuated to eject the crimped product from the lower die.
As the machine ram reaches the end of the upward stroke and begins the downward stroke to return to
the neutral or holding position, the wire funnel retracts to align with the product wire barrel for the next
cycle of operation.

The machine is operated by a foot switch. The foot switch must be depressed and released to perform
each cycle of operation. For further information, refer to the wiring diagram in Figure 6 and the electrical
