Electrical terminal applicator with improved track adjustment means

An electrical terminal applicator is disclosed for crimping terminals onto wires, with the terminals being secured on a strip in a side-by-side relationship. An applicator ram is drivable in a first path through a working stroke towards, and a return stroke away from, a crimping anvil. A crimping die cooperates with the anvil to crimp a portion of the terminal onto a wire during each working stroke of the ram. A track guides the strip in a second path which intersects the first path of the ram and includes a track portion mounted for adjustable movement in a direction transverse to the second path. An adjusting screw is threaded into a transverse hole in the movable track portion for adjusting the position of the track portion in the direction transverse to the second path. A locking set screw is threaded into the transverse hole for jamming against an end of the adjusting screw to lock the adjusting screw and, thus, the track portion in any position of adjustment.
