HSD shielded wire stripping machine
HSD (High Speed Data) cables are widely used in automotive highspeed signal systems such as cameras, ADAS, radar, and infotainment modules. Compared with standard wiring, HSD shielded cables feature a far more complex structure, making the stripping process significantly more difficult.
1. Complex MultiLayer Shielding That Is Easily Damaged
A typical HSD shielded cable includes:
Outer jacket
Braided shield
Aluminum foil shield
Inner jacket
Coaxial or twistedpair cores
Each layer must be removed precisely without damaging the next, which requires extremely accurate blade control.
Main difficulties:
The braid is prone to fraying or breaking
The aluminum foil is very thin and tears easily or leaves residue
Cutting even 0.05–0.1 mm too deep may damage the insulation
Consistent quality is nearly impossible to achieve manually.
2. Shielding Integrity Is Critical for Signal Quality
HSD cables carry highspeed differential signals, making them highly sensitive to EMI and impedance deviations.
If the stripping process causes:
Uneven or damaged braid
Foil shield tears
Excessive or insufficient shielding length
This may lead to:
Poor shielding effectiveness
Impedance mismatch
Increased return loss and signal degradation
OEMs impose strict requirements on shielding accuracy.
3. Extremely Tight StrippingLength Tolerances
Tier1 suppliers and OEMs often specify a tolerance of:
±0.2 mm to ±0.5 mm
Manual stripping frequently results in:
Length deviation
Inconsistent cutting depth
Large variation across batches
This leads to termination defects and higher rework rates.
4. Inner Conductors Are Very Fragile
HSD conductors—whether twisted pairs or coaxial cores—are thin and delicate.
Excessive blade pressure or poor handling can cause:
Scratched conductors
Broken copper strands
Deformation leading to poor terminal insertion
Highspeed signal cables demand perfect conductor integrity.
5. MultiStep Stripping Process Is LaborIntensive
Stripping HSD shielded cables typically requires:
(1). Removing the outer jacket
(2). Cutting or opening the braid
(3). Processing the foil shield
(4). Removing the inner jacket
(5). Preparing the inner conductors
Each step requires precision, and manual operations are slow with a high error rate.
6. Hard to Maintain Consistency in HighVolume Production
HSD cables are often used in largescale automotive projects, with tens of thousands of harnesses required.
Manual processing struggles to achieve:
Uniform stripping dimensions
Consistent blade depth
Stable quality over long production cycles
Automated equipment offers far higher process stability.
