Abstract

An automated machine, such as a cable making machine, for terminating wires to terminals. The machine includes mechanisms for selecting a desired wire type and terminal applicator, and then for automatically setting the applicator to the proper insulation crimp height corresponding to the selected wire type and terminal type combination. The insulation crimp height may then be reset to another value for a subsequently selected different wire type.
