A feed mechanism for a terminal crimping machine that crimps a terminal to a wire, the terminal crimping machine having a crimping zone, said feed mechanism comprising: a feed finger configured to move along a feed stroke, the feed finger being configured to move along the feed stroke in a feed direction to feed the terminal into the crimping zone; a cam having a lift profile; a push rod comprising a cam follower engaged with the cam, the cam follower being configured to travel along the lift profile of the cam such that the push rod moves in a lift direction, the push rod being mechanically connected to the feed finger and being configured to move the feed finger along the feed stroke in the feed direction when the push rod moves in the lift direction; and a biasing mechanism operatively connected to the push rod to exert a biasing force on the push rod that biases the cam follower of the push rod into engagement with the cam, a housing, the push rod being held within the housing and extending a length from a first end to an opposite second end, the second end comprising the cam follower, wherein the biasing force exerted by the biasing mechanism on the push rod biases the cam follower of the push rod into engagement with the cam such that the cam follower remains engaged with the cam during an entirety of the feed stroke of the feed finger, and wherein the cam follower remains engaged with a surface that defines the lift profile of the cam during an entirety of the movement of the cam both in a direction away from the crimping zone and in a direction towards the crimping zone, wherein the cam follower is configured to travel along the lift profile of the cam such that the push rod moves in the lift direction against the biasing force exerted by the biasing mechanism on the push rod to move the feed finger along the feed stroke in the feed direction, and wherein the push rod is mechanically connected to the feed finger via a link, the link comprising a slot and a pivot pin extending within the slot, the link being configured to pivot about the pivot pin in response to movement of the push rod, wherein the position of the pivot pin is adjustable along the length of the slot for adjusting the feed stroke of the feed finger, characterized in that: the biasing mechanism extends between a wall of the housing and the first end of the push rod for exerting the biasing force on the push rod, and the feed finger is pivotally connected to the link, wherein a further biasing mechanism is operatively connected between the feed finger and the link to bias the feed finger to a predetermined pivot position relative to the link. a feed finger configured to move along a feed stroke, the feed finger being configured to move along the feed stroke in a feed direction to feed the terminal into the crimping zone; a cam having a lift profile; a push rod comprising a cam follower engaged with the cam, the cam follower being configured to travel along the lift profile of the cam such that the push rod moves in a lift direction, the push rod being mechanically connected to the feed finger and being configured to move the feed finger along the feed stroke in the feed direction when the push rod moves in the lift direction;
