The first support plate and the second support plate can include an axle notch configured to engage the axle extending between the first and second support plates.
Claims20
A ferrule reel mount for supporting a plurality of ferrule reels on a stripper-crimper machine, the ferrule reel mount comprising:
- a plurality of ferrule reels;
- a plurality of support plates supported by a stripper-crimper machine;
- and
- a plurality of axles that support the ferrule reels relative to the support plates, including an axle spanning between each set of adjacent support plates of the plurality of support plates,
- wherein the axle is received within a drum of a ferrule reel of the plurality of ferrule reels to support the ferrule reel between the adjacent support plates;
- wherein the ferrule reel and an adjacent ferrule reel among the plurality of ferrule reels are supported by a common one of the support plates.
A ferrule support assembly for a stripper-crimper machine, the ferrule support assembly comprising:
- an axle configured to be received within a drum of a ferrule reel;
- a first support plate configured to be coupled to the stripper-crimper machine;
- and
- a second support plate configured to be coupled to the stripper-crimper machine, and spaced apart from the first support plate;
- wherein the first support plate and the second support plate include an axle notch that receives and supports the axle, with the axle extending between the first and second support plates, for rotatable support of the drum via the axle.
A method of retrofitting a ferrule reel support assembly on a stripper-crimper machine, the method comprising:
- removing an installed first ferrule reel support assembly from a support surface of a housing of the stripper-crimper machine;
- and
- installing a second ferrule reel support assembly onto the support surface of the stripper-crimper machine, the second ferrule reel support assembly including:
- an axle configured to be received within a drum of a ferrule reel;
- a first support plate configured to be coupled to the stripper-crimper machine;
- and
- a second support plate configured to be coupled to the stripper-crimper machine opposite the ferrule reel from the first support plate;
- wherein the first support plate and the second support plate include an axle notch configured to receive and support the axle, with the axle extending between the first and second support plates, to rotatably support the drum via the axle.
