CRIMP TOOLING HAVING GUIDE SURFACES

Crimp tooling (114) includes an anvil (128) and a wire crimper (126). The anvil has first and second anvil guide surfaces (170, 172) located relative to the cradle. First and second legs of the wire crimper have first and second wire crimper guide surfaces (154, 156) configured to engage the first and second anvil guide surfaces, respectively, to guide a position of the wire crimper relative to the anvil. The first wire crimper guide surface (154) is configured to shift the wire crimper (126) in a first direction when the first wire crimper guide surface (154) engages the first anvil guide surface (170), and the second wire crimper guide surface (156) is configured to shift the wire crimper in a second direction when the second wire crimper guide surface (156) engages the second anvil guide surface (172).
