3. Application scenarios of automatic wire stripping machine
(1) Single-core wire stripping machine: focusing on the precision processing of fine-diameter cables
Core adaptation objects: single-strand insulated cables with a diameter of 0.1mm-2mm, such as internal connecting wires of electronic equipment, sensor leads, enameled wires, etc.
Technical features: Use micro-tools (such as ceramic blades) to avoid damage to fine-core wires (copper wire diameter is often less than 0.05mm);
The stripping length accuracy can be controlled at ±0.05mm, meeting the miniaturized assembly requirements of electronic components;
Support "half stripping" (stripping only part of the insulation layer) and "full stripping" modes, suitable for PCB board welding, terminal plug-in and other scenarios.
Typical application areas:
Consumer electronics: internal thin cable processing of mobile phones and headphones;
Electronic components: stripping of resistors and capacitors;
Precision instruments: pre-processing of test lines for multimeters and oscilloscopes.
(2)Multi-core cable stripping machine: batch processing of large-diameter multi-strand cables
Core adaptation objects: multi-strand twisted cables with a diameter of 2mm-50mm, such as power cables, communication cables (network cables, coaxial cables), automotive wiring harnesses, etc.
Technical features:
Equipped with a high-power wire feeding mechanism, it can drive large-diameter cables to feed stably;
Support "layered wire stripping": first strip the outer sheath, and then strip the insulation layer of each inner core wire separately (such as the 8 core wires of the network cable are processed simultaneously);
Integrated waste separation device to classify and collect the sheath and core wire insulation for easy recycling.
Typical application areas:
Electric power industry: terminal stripping of low-voltage cables (0.4kV);
Communication industry: outer sheath stripping of optical fiber cables, and whole-section stripping of network cables;
Automobile manufacturing: centralized processing of multi-core wire harnesses in the engine compartment of automobiles.
(3)Special cable stripping machine: to meet the customized needs of special materials and structures
Core adaptation objects: cables with special insulating materials or complex structures, such as high-temperature wires (resistant to more than 200℃), shielded wires (including metal braided layers), coaxial cables (including aluminum foil shielding layers), silicone wires, Teflon wires, etc.
Technical features:
The tool has strong adaptability: tungsten steel tools are used for high-temperature materials (such as polyimide), and blunt blade cutting is used for soft materials (such as silicone) to avoid adhesion;
Integrated auxiliary processing functions: such as the integration of "stripping the jacket + cutting the shielding layer" of the shielded cable, and the step-by-step operation of "stripping the outer layer + stripping the insulation layer + exposing the core wire" of the coaxial cable;
Equipped with a tension adaptive system to prevent elastic material cables (such as silicone wires) from stretching and deforming during stripping.
(4)Typical application areas:
Industrial equipment: stripping of sensor cables (such as kiln temperature measurement cables) in high-temperature environments;
Military industry and aerospace: processing of special cables that are resistant to radiation and aging;
Medical equipment: stripping of silicone monitor connection cables (must meet the requirement of no debris residue).
The core difference between the three types of equipment lies in their adaptability to cable specifications and material properties: single-core wire stripping machines pursue "precision", multi-core cable stripping machines focus on "batch and strength", and special cable stripping machines focus on "compatibility in special scenarios", covering all scenarios from micro electronic wires to large industrial cables.

5. Technical advantages of automatic wire stripping machine
(1)Efficiency improvement: the leap from "manual rhythm" to "machine speed"
Quantitative comparison: manual wire stripping is limited by physical strength and proficiency, and the daily production capacity of a single person is about 500-2000 wires (depending on the wire diameter); the automatic wire stripping machine can achieve a daily production capacity of 5000-20000 wires through continuous operation, and the efficiency is improved by 5-10 times.
Batch adaptability: supports continuous loading and multi-station parallel processing (such as stripping multiple cables at the same time), especially suitable for "large-scale, standardized" production scenarios such as automotive wiring harnesses and electronic processing.
Time utilization: no need for manual rest, it can cooperate with the production line to achieve 24-hour uninterrupted operation, only regular replenishment of raw materials and maintenance are required, which greatly improves the equipment utilization rate.
(2)Precision control: a breakthrough from millimeter-level error to micron-level precision
Core parameters: The stripping length error can be stably controlled within ±0.1mm, and some high-end CNC models can even reach ±0.05mm, far exceeding the ±1-3mm error range of manual operation.
Consistency guarantee: through the program preset parameters (stripping length, stripping depth, cutting force), ensure that the processing effect of each cable is completely consistent, avoiding quality fluctuations caused by fatigue and experience differences in manual operation.
Complex process adaptation: supports fine operations such as "segmented stripping" (such as different stripping lengths at both ends of the cable) and "half stripping" (stripping only part of the insulation layer and retaining the middle connection section) to meet the high-precision requirements of electronic component welding, terminal crimping, etc.
(3)Material protection: Upgrading from "extensive stripping" to "non-destructive processing"
Prevention of core wire damage: Manual stripping often causes copper core breakage, scratches or oxidation (especially thin core wires below 0.1mm) due to uneven force of the tool. The automatic wire stripping machine uses a tension adaptive system and a blunt blade cutting design to ensure that the core wire is not stressed and damaged when the insulation layer is stripped.
Insulation layer integrity: Avoid residual, broken or deformed insulation layer caused by manual tearing, especially for tough materials such as Teflon and silicone, which can achieve a "smooth cut and burr-free" stripping effect.
Special material adaptation: For easily damaged materials such as high-temperature wires and shielded wires, customized tools (such as ceramic knives, high-temperature alloy knives) and ultrasonic stripping technology are used to not destroy the original properties of the material (such as temperature resistance and shielding effect) during the stripping process.
(4)Cost optimization: transformation from "short-term manpower" to "long-term cost reduction"
Manpower cost savings: one automatic wire stripping machine can replace 3-5 workers. Based on an average monthly salary of 5,000 yuan per person, the equipment investment (about 10,000-100,000 yuan, depending on the model) can be recovered within 6-18 months, and the long-term use cost is significantly lower than that of labor.
Reduced material loss: the high error rate of manual operation often leads to the scrapping of cables (such as the wire stripping is too short and needs to be cut off and re-stripped). The precise control of the automatic wire stripping machine can reduce the material loss rate from 5%-10% to less than 1%, especially for precious metal cables (such as silver-plated wires and optical fibers). The saving effect is more significant.
Reduced management costs: There is no need to invest extra energy in manual training, scheduling, work-related injury risks, etc. The equipment can achieve remote monitoring and fault warning through a digital system, reducing management complexity.
