Safe, fast, and clean conductor stripping

Stripping is the next step in the manufacturing process for creating reliable crimping. In this case, a distinction is made between stripping and removing the sheath.

Stripping is used as a generic term as well as to describe the removal of insulation from conductors up to 16 mm². Removal describes the stripping process for large conductor cross sections and multi-strand or multi-layered lines and cables.

Insulation can be removed professionally and quickly using appropriate stripping tools. The length of insulation to be removed varies depending on the terminal point and connector. This is set by means of adjustable limit stops and ensures consistent stripping lengths.

When the insulation is removed, make sure that neither the single wires inside nor the braided shield are damaged. The remaining insulation must not be damaged by the grip pressure, although pressure points on and color changes in the insulation material are permitted. Further faults that need to be prevented are stipulated in DIN IEC 60352-2.

Blade geometries suitable for the application in question are used to process special insulation materials. V blades are used for both hard (e.g., Teflon/RADOX^®) and
soft rubber insulation (silicone). In contrast to the straight blade geometry, V blades cut the insulation all the way round, thereby reducing the tear-off force. Phoenix Contact offers a wide range of stripping tools for the convenient and safe processing of various types of conductors, lines, and cables.
