Removing the insulation layer from electrical wires at industrial levels requires wire stripping machines. Often coaxial cables and other heavy wirings need equipment which can produce more force to de-insulate them exposing the metal core. Wires and cables are available in the form of reels in bulks. To wire these cables in different appliances, they have to be cut in specific dimensions so they can adjust in the appliances. They need to be fully functional and they need to conduct current at an optimal level. It is hard to get accurate dimensions and none to zero defected wire thus wire stripping machines are employed for this work.
Crimping machines on the other hand are used to join any two pieces of metals but they are first disassembled so that they can latch onto each other. Usually, tools and crimping machines are employed in crimping, for instance, to fix a cable with a connector. Crimping wires comes in handy when there is a need to work appliances at high voltages. They are of high advantage when used in automobiles where there is a constant fluctuation of potentials. Crimping machines provide a good mechanical strength and help in keeping the wires well locked.
Here are a couple of advantages of both wire stripping and crimping machines:
Advantages of Using a Wire Stripping Machine
- Complete and clean wire separation. Widely used for recycling of metal scraps, it strips the layer of insulation from cables. Prevents the metal core from crushing, the end product is solid and undamaged, as the plastic is perfectly removed with no residue remaining of the metal core; it improves the metal scarp evaluation for recycling purposes. However, the stripping machine doesn’t work on knotted wires or looped ones; the wire type of wire it works on is straight and clear from any deformities.
- Saves laboring costs and is easy to operate. A whole workforce isn’t required to operate wire stripping machines; even one professionally skilled staff member can operate the entire production line. Stripping machine operations are easy to comprehend and are fast and efficient. Saves time and the cost of labor.
- Mess-free; environment-friendly. Wire stripping machines are designed on the mechanical support system. This means there is no need for any chemical solutions or water. It saves up on resources and doesn’t cause any hazardous effects on the environment. Zero dust production works without creating any mess and doesn’t pollute the environment in which it is kept. It doesn’t leave any smoke or gases wither, just works on electricity. Produces better quality wires which also function well. In some machines, it also solves the problems associated with old wires.
- The machines are much faster at striping than when it is done manually; all the machine has to do it grip the wire firmly and strip it.
- Wire Stripping Machines don’t need constant instructions for instance whenever the wire is exposed to blades for stripping off the insulation, the machine senses the exact location of where the bare wiring is beginning from throughout the length of the cable. It is accurately pulled back to make an accurate cut to make a slug, this is a separated out piece of insulation. Moreover, this piece of insulation stays attached to the wire so it doesn’t fray away.
- No waste of money and no waste of time. For example to if 1000 pieces of wire each measuring four inches is required to wire a printer, a 0.5 inch metal core will be required to be left exposed to wind it around screws or ICs. However, taking a measurement of 0.5 inches of 1000 wire pieces can take weeks for a small labor force and the work will be slow. There are also chances are defected pieces due to human errors. However, if the reel is very expensive and no wastage of material can be afforded then wire stripping machines are the best for such situations. The process will be much faster too.
