What is a wire stripping machine used for?
A wire stripping machine is a tool used to remove the insulation or outer jacket from electrical wires or cables, exposing the bare conductor underneath for purposes like:
• Crimping
• Soldering
• Connecting terminals
• Recycling metal (like copper or aluminum)
What Is a Wire Stripping Machine Used For?
1. Cable Assembly Production
Prepares wires for connectors in automotive, telecom, and electronics industries.
2. Electrical Installation
Helps electricians strip wires quickly and cleanly onsite.
3. Recycling Industry
Strips old cables to recover valuable metals like copper or aluminum.
4. Maintenance & Repair
Speeds up wire prep during repairs or retrofits.
Types of Wire Stripping Machines
| Type | Features | Suitable For |
|---|---|---|
| Manual | Hand-cranked or blade-based | Small jobs, low volume |
| Semi-Automatic | Motor-driven with some manual input | Medium volume, multiple cable sizes |
| Automatic | Fully programmable and fast | High-volume, industrial use |
| Rotary Coaxial Stripper | Strips multi-layer coaxial cable precisely | RF, video, and signal cable prep |
Benefits of Using a Wire Stripping Machine
Efficiency – Much faster than manual stripping
Precision – Clean, uniform strips with minimal conductor damage
Consistency – Repeats the same strip every time
Safety – Reduces the risk of cuts or conductor breakage
Versatility – Supports different cable types: solid, stranded, multicore, coaxial
