Concept of wire stripping
Prior to the advent of better technological systems, industry operations require at a point or the other the need to strip wires. These wires are stripped for further processing or in a bid to make them fit into a place. Stripped wires, sometimes have their edges crimped to ensure they fit into a circuit of choice or to facilitate joining through crimping or even soldering. The question is how did they use to strip wires then is an obvious question to ask. Consequently, wire stripping was basically a manual process that was strictly achieved using a stripping tool. A stripping tool is a mechanical tool with a pair of opposing blades as seen in scissors or wire cutters. It possess a center notch that carries out the insulation striping. It operates basically by setting the wire in the notch area after which this tool is rotated around the insulation in a bid to remove them. More so, since the insulation material are not bonded to the wire, it is quite easy pulling off the stripping process. Even though the stripping tool is manual, but it is effective on any kind of wire irrespective of size, length and diameter. To completely strip a wire using a wire stripping tool, the force from your hand is what is needed to drive the stripping tool to full functionality. Also, it shouldn’t come as a surprise if you come across someone that used knife for stripping, because before the advent of wire strippers, they were the best substitute available. However, they were never perfect in their operations and it requires a lot of technicalities to pull off and a 100% wire well being is not guaranteed.
Since a safe, durable electrical connections begin with clean, accurate wire stripping, removing the outer insulating later without nicking the wires underneath becomes critical. This brought about the use of wire stripping machines. The invention of copper wire stripping machines came as a necessity. Large industries require a bunch of stripped wires in their daily operations – connection wise. The use of hand stripping tools is destined to slow things down, therefore, the use of wire striping machines. These machines operates automatically or semi-automatically depending on if no help is required or a little is needed. They have different tongues that allows them to accommodate almost all wire sizes. Manual stripping tools handle specific wire sizes. But these machines handle those sizes and then ones in between them and do so with less effort.
What is wire stripping machine?
Due to a lot of process, many companies and individuals strip off the insulation from large quantities of wire in order to sell the conducting metal to junk yards, recycling centers and other buyers. For this volume of work, wire stripping machines are generally capable of much higher volume output than hand held wire strippers. Wire stripping machines are machines that are user to remove the insulating materials off a wire or cable in order to utilize the conducting metal that can be copper or any other material for recycling or other processes. Also in times where wires need to be crimped, they are first stripped to ensure there is proper terminal connection.
What is the driving force behind copper wire stripping machine
We have established that manual effort is the driving force behind the activities of a manual stripping too. Although it has all the interface necessary for wire stripping, it requires a whole lot of effort from the user to guide, clamp, twist and turn the wires to get their insulation neatly removed. It is therefore imperative to discuss the driving force behind copper wire stripping machines since they are the automated system of wire stripping. Foremost, it is important to note that the driving force of copper wire stripping machine is electric and motor. This explains for the tag of it being a mechanical-electrical device. The electrical components describes its source of power. As expected, the machine draws its power from an electrical source, this sets the blades in motion and keeps on the user-machine interface that aids better usage of machine. The mechanical aspect is the cutting section using sharp blades that cut through and remove the wire casing with little or no efforts from user. The blades possess settings that make them adjustable and positive stops to help prevent conductor damage. These positive stops are however control by the electric components. The motor force of the machine is the one that drives the constant turning of the blades when the power source and machine are ignited. The motor speed can be adjusted based on the material that is to be stripped. Some blades are jewel-like in nature that are made up of different materials with relatively large thickness. This is because the blade has to be of right material to deal with the insulation and wire gauge involved. The wrong blade materials, no matter the electric force being generated can result in damage of the copper wire. The electric components allows the machine tension in stripping to be corrected and properly adjusted to fit each material. These machines consume a lot of power, but at Cheers electronic technical limited, we manufacture them with varying voltage depending on the country, therefore be rest assured that you will be getting a customized copper wire stripping machine based on your location.
Basic guide to using copper wire stripping machines
1. The end of the wire is placed in be wire stripping machine. Through the use of a plier or just your hand, place the part of the wire you intend to strip into the jaws of the automatic striper. They have come to include an interface in the machines that guides on the length you intend to strip, this is a plus to the already bogus advantage that wire stripping machines have.
2. The machines strips by turning the material, therefore, the wire in the plier shouldn’t e held with all force and should just be guided to ensure free movement as directed by the stripping machine.
