| 1998 | Invention patented by Randall A. Holliday on February 19th, 1998. Abstract: An automated crimping machine for crimping a fitting or end connector onto an end of a cable is made up of segmental die portions which together form a die surface in the desired configuration including cylinder-operated pivot blocks to advance the segmental die portions between an open position and closed crimping position, a plunger assembly axially spaced from the die portions to support the fitting in loosely assembled relation on the cable and to automatically advance in an axial direction into the cavity formed by the die surfaces to cause the fitting to be crimped onto the cable end, following which the segmental die portions are expanded away from the fitting and the crimped fitting removed to permit insertion of the next fitting and cable which is advanced through a guide block into properly aligned relation with the plunger. |
