2.1. Physical Description
(Figure 4)
Added to a basic AMP–O–LECTRIC Model “K” Terminating Machine is a linkage which actuates the indexing
mechanism from front to back during each cycle of operation. This action pulls the tape from the product and
raises the wire stop assembly to allow for removal of the crimped product by the wire funnel (or extractor).
Linkage attached to the mechanical feed on the machine operates a ratchet which advances the tape feed belt
one increment during each cycle of operation. This positions the product in the crimping dies. In the standby
condition, the machine ram is lowered to the holding position to retain the product during wire insertion and
crimping.
