At Cheers Electronics, we sell durable, effective and cheap wire and cable stripping machine that will match the requirements of your work.

What Are Thick Wires?

Thick wires, also commonly referred to as heavy duty wires or large sized wires. Thick wires is a single, usually cylindrical, rigid strand or rod of metal. They are mainly used for transporting electrical voltages and currents. It is also known as an assembly of one or more wires that are together or stacked, often use to carry electric current.

Where Are Thick Wires Used?

Thick wires are majorly used or applied in areas where that high voltage is passed. The thickness of a wire or cable is primarily determined by the wattage and voltage ratings and the temperature tolerance of the device or machine it is to be used for. Examples of where thick wires are used in high power electrical appliances that include Electric Heater, Electric boilers. The thick wires in these electrical devices are used to decrease the surface temperature and this helps to reduce the dangerous heat from it, hence, increasing its durability. Thick wires are also used in connections that involves direct currents.

Insulation for Thick Wires

vCross-linked polyethylene insulation (XLPE):This is one of the most adaptable insulations to use when considering thick wires for a project. This insulation helps to protect the wires at high temperatures, prevents the penetration of water into the wire while allowing the thick wire or cable inside to transfer and receive electric voltage of high degree. It is resistant to a variety of chemicals that reduces the functionality of the thick wires. XLPE insulation can also be used in water piping systems. Also, Cross-linked polyethylene insulation are available at a very affordable cost.

vPolyvinyl Chloride (PVC):Polyvinyl Chloride, simply known as PVC, is generally used in most of the electrical cable construction, whether commercial or private. It is applied for insulating thick wires, bedding and also sheathing. Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) is also one of the most inexpensive and effective insulations suitable for thick wires and cables. It also has long-lasting effects with its ageing properties, it is essentially still operative even after 25 to 30 years to service life. Thick wires and cables that are enclosed in Polyvinyl chloride insulation are resistant to flames and this is a very imperative consideration for wires and cables used in electrical applications. Polyvinyl Chloride insulation is also manufactured to make thick wires resistant to a large number of chemicals include acids, oils, and alkalis. This type of insulation is responsible for the toughness, abrasion resistance and durability of thick wires and cables.

vHigh density polyethylene insulation(HDPE):This insulation is assumed to be the most tough and strongest form of thick wire or cables insulation. Even as it does not possess high flexibility, it however can used in so many applications due to its versatality. This insulation is applicable for enclosing thick wires and cables that are used in wire or cable electrical installations. They are also used for outdoor electrical applications to offer insulation for thick wires that are responsible for transmitting high amounts of voltage.

vHigh molecular weight polyethylene(HMWPE):Due to the molecular weight component of this insulation, it has the ability to resist abrasion, severe twisting, and huge amount of pressure. It is capable providing strength and flexibility to thick wires and cables. This implies that this insulation helps thick wires and cables to be tolerate high degree of twisting and pressure without damage.

Other types of insulations that can be used for enclosing thick wires include Teflon, Epoxy / fiberglass and Delrin.

How to Cut Thick Wires?

The overall procedures of using Stripping and cutting machines for cutting of thick wires include

1.     Use an automatic stripping machine to easily clip typical wire sizes

2.     Place the end of the wire in the automatic stripper

3.     Squeeze the automatic stripping machine handle

4.     Use a laser wire stripping machine for extremely fine wires

5.     Get a thermal wire stripper for wires with thick insulation

Suitable Machines for Cutting Thick Wires

The Cable stripping machine series allows for precise, quick and safe stripping of all standard thick wires and cables with varying diameters. The cutting depth of the blade can be progressively adjusted with the help of an adjusting wheel in the housing. This prevents damage to the conductor inside. The cutting blade is integrated in the housing to rotate automatically and therefore allows an automatic changeover between circular and longitudinal cuts. The methods of cutting thick wires will be discussed under the types of wire and cable stripping or cutting machines.

Heavy Duty Wire Stripping Machine CSC-600MAX2

The heavy duty wire stripping machine is built specially for power cord, sheathed wire, large and thick wires. It functions in cutting or stripping wires in both full and half strip. In full strip mode, it takes off the whole coating of the wire, and whereas in half strip only the edges of the wire or cable are stripped off. This is a major cutting machine as its function as though units of small cable stripping machines are put out together to form a bigger and more effective machine such that it chunks out up to 9000mm of wire length operating at a maximum diameter of 25mm. It has a structure that allows continuous adding of wire for stripping purposes which also enhances stability of functionality. It also has an interface that interacts in English and Chinese.

Cable Jacket Stripping Machine CSC-800XL

The Cable Jacket Stripping Machine CSC-800XL will in no time become one of the most preferred machines in the wire industries. It has double feed rollers to help continuous wire feeding, takes in the wire to be stripped at an end, stripes it at the edges or full based on user specifications, drops off the stripped wire alongside the coatings and repeated this process for the length of the wire. It thrives in stripping heavy duty cables, thick wires, electronic wires, silicone wires, Teflon wires, braided wires either through half stripping, full stripping or mid stripping. It has an automatic display system with Chinese and English languages communication. It can process instantaneously, up to 150 sqmm wires and can take averagely all big diameter cables.
