Wire Stripping Tools and Equipment

Tools that are used to remove the insulation from a wire or cable. For wire stripping, a variety of hand-operated electrically operated and bench-mounted electric- or air-powered units are available. Stripping actions include cutting (blades and knives), thermal abrasion, lasers, etc. When used for the proper application, they can provide quick, clean cutting of insulation. They are safeguarded to prevent cutting into the wire and are recommended for production work. Such equipment includes include rotary strippers, suitable for PTFE, nylon, vinyl and similar insulations; and centrifugal force strippers, which can use counterbalanced knives that close around the wire and strip off the insulation by centrifugal force.
