HSD automotive wire harness stripping machine
1. Why HSD Cables Are Difficult to Strip
HSD (HighSpeed Data) cables are widely used in automotive camera systems, infotainment systems, ADAS, and highspeed data transmission. Their structure makes them significantly harder to process than standard power cables. The main difficulties include:
1.1. Multilayer structure
HSD cables typically include an outer jacket, shielding braid, foil shielding, twisted differential pairs, and fine inner conductors. Each layer requires precise cutting depth to avoid damaging the conductors.
1.2. Fine and soft inner cores
HSD inner conductors are extremely thin. If cutting depth is not accurate, the cores can be scratched or broken.
1.3. High shielding density
Braided shielding is tight and difficult to cut cleanly. Improper stripping can loosen the braid or deform the twisted pairs.
1.4. Strict precision requirements
Highspeed differential signals depend on controlled impedance.
Any damage to the shield, twist pitch, or conductor will affect signal integrity.
1.5. Inconsistent cable stiffness and diameters
Different OEMs use different HSD cable designs, requiring flexible and adjustable stripping equipment.
2. What Type of Stripping Machine is Required
To handle HSD cables safely and consistently, the stripping machine must meet higher standards than normal wire processors:
① Computercontrolled precision stripping machine
Adjustable stripping length
Adjustable blade depth
Multiprogram storage
Suitable for multilayer cables
② Rotating blade / Vblade design
Allows clean radial cutting of outer jacket and shielding
Reduces the risk of cutting inner cores
Supports multilayer stripping in one cycle
③ Stable clamping system
Adjustable clamping force
Prevents cable deformation
Ensures the cable does not slip during stripping
④ Doubleend and midsection stripping functions (if required)
Useful for processing shielded cables with complex structures.
⑤ Optional crimping integration for HSD terminals
Some highend machines support:
Strip + crimp
Strip + twist
Strip + shieldprocessing
which greatly improves consistency and production speed.
⑥ Customizable tooling
Since HSD designs vary by manufacturer, customized blades/fixtures may be necessary.
