1.1

The QUICK-KON™  Automated Crimping System is a left-to-right side feed applicator which installs in most 
industry standard presses, which is comprised of the Electric Die, the Stock Guide Assembly and the Ram Tool. 
As a result, one unit can be used to crimp a large variety of terminals - simply through the purchase of additional 
tool packs. 
Unlike traditional applicators, which use mechanical designs to feed terminals, the Thomas & Betts

®

 Electric Die 

uses a patented feeding method that electronically performs feeding operations pre-termination. The stepper 
motor driven pinch rollers engage the carrier strip and push the terminals into place for crimping. Microprocessor 
based electronics, in conjunction with sensors, initiate a feeding cycle on the upward motion of the ram and 
control the stepper motor to precisely position the next terminal to be crimped. A feed controller allows the 
operator to set feeding parameters electronically. As a result of this superior terminal feeding system, tool packs 
are readily accessible and easy to swap…set-up is quick and easy.
