Terminal Crimping Machines
A terminal crimping machine joins a stripped conductor to a terminal by plastically deforming the terminal barrel around the strands. Crimp quality is set by three things: the applicator or die, the crimp height, and the pull force the finished joint withstands — not by the press force alone. This family spans bench-top presses for low-volume harness shops through fully automatic cut-strip-crimp platforms used in automotive and EV harness production. Turing has built these machines in Dongguan since 2008, and machines dies and applicators in-house on CNC vertical machining centres.
For any given terminal, crimp height is a process window with a lower and an upper limit. Below the window the joint fails in pull test; above it the terminal cracks at the insulation crimp. That window is why crimp height is measured and logged in production rather than set once at commissioning.

Machines in this family differ mainly in how the terminal is fed and how much of the sequence before and after crimping is automated.
Product lines in this family
Terminal Crimping Machine
Family entry point: presses and applicators, loose and banded terminal feeding, single and double-head configurations.
View machinesFully Automatic Terminal Crimping Machine
Cut, strip, crimp and inspect in one cycle with automatic terminal feed — the highest-throughput tier in the family.
View machinesSemi-Automatic Terminal Crimping Machine
Operator-fed presses for low volume and frequent changeover; the tier that replaces hand tools without automating the line.
View machinesWire Stripping and Terminal Crimping Machine
Strip and crimp combined so a wire is terminated in a single handling step.
View machinesSheathed wire Terminal Crimping Machine
Sheathed and round cable, where the outer jacket is prepared before the conductor is crimped.
View machinesDipping Tin Terminal Crimping Machine
Adds hot-dip tinning to the crimp for joints that must be soldered or resistance-welded afterwards.
View machinesPlastic Shell Terminal Crimping Machine
Inserts the crimped terminal into a plastic housing in the same cycle.
View machinesInserting Tube Terminal Crimping Machine
Inserts a number tube or marker sleeve onto the wire as part of termination, for in-line identification.
View machinesInserting Waterproof Plug Terminal Crimping Machine
Fits the waterproof plug or seal onto the wire before or after the crimp, for sealed connectors.
View machinesNew Energy Servo Terminal Crimping Machine
Servo-driven presses for EV and high-voltage harness work, where crimp force repeatability matters most.
View machinesservo motor terminal crimp
Servo press architecture for applications where pneumatic force variation is not acceptable.
View machinesSemi-auto Copper Strip Crimping Machine
Copper strip and copper tape crimping — the material is the strip itself, not a stranded conductor.
View machinesFully Automatic Copper Tape Machine
Fully automatic copper tape feeding, cutting and bonding for shielding and busbar applications.
View machinesFully auto crimp solder seal
Crimp, solder and seal in one sequence for splices that must be both mechanically and electrically closed.
View machinesAuto crimp cut strip solder
Cuts, strips, crimps and solders in an uninterrupted cycle for high-mix harness assembly.
View machinesAutomatic Iron Ring Crimping Machine
Iron ring and ring-terminal crimping, plus the cast-iron mute-terminal presses used where noise matters.
View machinesConnector Nut Screwing Machine
Tightens connector nuts and boots after termination — a fastener operation, not a crimp.
View machinesParts for Terminal Crimping Machine and Wire Cutting and Stripping Machine
Applicators, dies, blades and wear parts, including dies machined to a customer drawing.

Choosing within this family
Terminal first, press second.
Loose terminals, banded strips and reel-fed terminals each require a different feeding method; the press is selected around it.
State the applicator, not just the machine.
Crimp quality follows the applicator and die. If the terminal is proprietary, confirm applicator availability before ordering.
Force repeatability is the servo argument.
Pneumatic presses vary with supply-air pressure; a servo press holds the same stroke and force across a shift.
Decide the inspection tier.
Crimp height measurement and pull testing can be a manual per-batch step or a per-piece in-line function. The second is a different machine.
Sealed connectors change the sequence.
Inserts, plugs and seals must be placed in the correct order relative to the crimp; getting this wrong cannot be corrected downstream.
