    Abstract: A wire preparation device includes a motor, a device housing coupled to the motor, and a wire spinner held by the device housing. The wire spinner is mechanically connected to the motor via power coupling components. The wire spinner extends to a wire end that protrudes from the device housing. The wire spinner includes a collet sleeve defining a channel configured to receive an end of one or more wires of a cable therein through an opening at the wire end. The wire spinner further includes an outer collar surrounding the collet sleeve and selectively movable relative to the collet sleeve to force the collet sleeve to contract radially inward for releasably securing the one or more wires within the channel. The wire spinner is rotated by the motor relative to the device housing to untwist or straighten the one or more wires secured within the collet sleeve.

    Abstract: A conductor positioning fixture includes a base and a retainer member. The base includes a positioning platform and a wedge projecting upward from a top surface of the positioning platform. The base receives a cable on the top surface of the positioning platform such that exposed segments of first and second conductors of the cable extend along opposite sides of the wedge. The retainer member is mounted to the base and movable relative to the base along a longitudinal axis between a retracted position, at which the retainer member is spaced apart from the wedge, and an extended position, at which the retainer member overlaps the wedge. As the retainer member moves from the retracted position towards the extended position, the retainer member engages and forces the exposed segments of the first and second conductors into designated presentation positions.

    Abstract: A termination machine includes a ram, a shearing arm, and a toggle mechanism. The ram moves reciprocally relative to a stationary anvil between an extended position and a retracted position during a crimp stroke and crimps a terminal against the anvil while moving towards the extended position. The shearing arm is mounted to the ram and moves with the ram along a portion of the crimp stroke. The shearing arm includes a blade at a distal end thereof and a post projecting laterally from the shearing arm. The toggle mechanism is operatively connected to the post of the shearing arm. The toggle mechanism selectively toggles the shearing arm between a cutting position and a non-cutting position of the shearing arm relative to the ram. The blade of the shearing arm projects farther beyond a crimp end of the ram in the cutting position than in the non-cutting position.

    Abstract: An embodiment is directed to a grounding terminal for mounting on a grounding surface. The grounding terminal has a top wall having a first mounting opening and a bottom wall having a second mounting opening. The second mounting opening is in alignment with the first mounting opening to receive mounting hardware therethrough. A first side wall extends between the top wall and the bottom wall at angles other than 90 degrees. A second side wall extends between the top wall and the bottom wall at angles other than 90 degrees. As the mounting hardware is tightened, the shape and positioning of the side walls relative to the top wall and bottom wall reduces the amount of torque required to move the top wall toward the bottom wall to allow for the mounting hardware to be tightened without the need for special tooling.
