How to choose wire stripper? Do you spend a lot of time and energy trying to find the right wiring harness processing equipment? There are so many choices to buy a new wire stripper, so where to start? Today's five questions will help ensure you end up with the right device for all your needs, bringing you how to Choose a Wire Stripper?


Does my new wire stripper have enough flexibility to handle all my current and future applications?


Unless you're going to be running the same number of jobs day after day, you'll want a machine that is as flexible as possible. It is best to focus on the end of the application range to ask about wire and cable size. For example, if the maximum wire you process now is 10#AWG, determine if there is any chance you will need to deal with 8#AWG or larger wires in the future. It should also be determined if there are high-end features that will be required, such as multi-blade cutters (used to handle multi-conductor cable sheathing and inner conductor) or rotary cutting units that handle coaxial through various cable layers when making radial cut opportunities and other multi-layer cables. Being prepared for future demand will allow you to get the most out of your purchase.


Whether the replacement of accessories is convenient and fast


Most modern wire strippers are fully programmable, however there are always several work-specific mechanical parts (guide tubes, blades, etc.) that change between operations. The conversion time can be minimized if these changes can be done without tools. The smaller the batch size, the more frequently you change it. A computer programmed wire stripper with shorter switching times will provide a faster return on investment and continue to pay dividends over the life of the machine.


Can the new wire stripper achieve the processing speed I expect?


When several different wire strippers compare data sheets, you will sometimes see the specification listed as "Maximum transmission speed." High Max transfer speed does not always correlate with a higher production speed unless you are running for longer lengths. Cutting shafts and other mechanical specifications all contribute to machine cycle time, so it is best to focus on the "maximum yield" listed for each line length and application. It is always best to purchase a wire or cable sample machine manufacturer to obtain realistic production speeds for a particular application.


What pre-processing and post-processing accessories are available for my new wire stripper?


Keep in mind that a typical entry-level wire stripper cannot be integrated with a full range of pre - and post-processing accessories. Determine what additional operations you need and whether the wire stripper manufacturer provides fully integrated accessories for these operations. Typical operations include twisting wire or inkjet marking, coiling and stacking to name just a few.


Another basic accessory is a wire feeder. They come in many different sizes and styles. The most basic style directly through the motorized belt or roller pull wire and cable. Higher end Prefeeders drive cable reels directly, which are gentle wires or cables to be fed. The high-end models also feature electric roll-ups and fully enclosed elevators for maximum safety. Be sure to specify a prefeeder that meets or exceeds the maximum acceleration and feed rate of the new stripper.


Can the wire stripper be integrated with my ERP system or my manufacturing execution system software?


Future factories will require all production equipment to be connected to the network. When purchasing your wire stripper, make sure it has the connectivity required to integrate it into your network. Your network stripping device opens up a whole new line of benefits. By sending jobs directly to the wire stripper, you eliminate keystroke operators (and possible errors) and save a lot of programming time. You will know when each job is started and completed and be able to monitor the average productivity. You can also automatically optimize work orders in the best order to convert time, due dates, available machines and personnel into account. Finally, you can track how many cycles each machine completes and when maintenance should be arranged. Another benefit is that all the work will be fully traceable.


Choosing the right wire stripper for your factory is an easy matter if you know how to look for it. While purchase price is always a consideration, the main emphasis should be placed on sourcing the most flexible machines, which will provide the shortest ROI and result in the lowest cost per line.
