LEAD DIMENSION ADJUSTING METHOD OF ELECTRIC COMPONENT, CRIMPING TERMINAL ASSEMBLY METHOD AND TERMINAL CRIMPING METHOD, AS WELL AS LEAD DIMENSION ADJUSTING DEVICE OF ELECTRIC COMPONENT, AND TERMINAL CRIMPING EQUIPMENT

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a terminal crimping equipment which can adjust accurately the projected length of each lead to a prescribed dimension by automation for improvement in cycle time and quality. SOLUTION: The terminal crimping equipment is provided with an electric component supply station 11 which supplies a capacitor in order and has a lead dimension adjusting device to cut each lead to a prescribed length, an adsorption and transfer means 16 which has a suction pipe 28 to adsorb and hold the capacitor and transfers the capacitor in order in adsorbed state, an inner conductor crimping station 12 in which the crimping part of the inner conductor terminal is crimped to one of the leads of the capacitor transferred by the suction pipe 28, and an inner conductor installation station 13 in which the inner conductor terminal crimped to the lead of the capacitor transferred by the suction pipe 28 is inserted and installed in an installation hole of a holder member consisting of an insulating material installed in the connection part of an outer conductor terminal.
