[0050] The position of the positioning plate 21 is adjusted by using the moving motor 25 so that the position of the connector after being inserted into the positioning groove 12 is suitable for the swaging operation of the body 11 of the swaging machine. After the connector is inserted into the positioning groove 12 of the positioning plate 21, the rotating motor 33 starts to drive the limiting block 26 to limit the position of the connector and keep the connector in a horizontal state, thus facilitating the swaging operation of the connector. After the connector is swaged, the connector can be taken out from the positioning groove 12. The steps are simple, the positioning work is convenient and fast, and the operator only needs to insert the connector into the positioning groove 12 of the positioning plate 21 to ensure that the swaging position of each swaged connector is the same, improving the accuracy of connector swaging and ensuring the quality of each connector finished product.
