Automated wire stripping devices remove insulation from electrical wires, enabling efficient connection and termination. This process can range from stripping a small section of insulation at the end of a wire to removing the jacket from a longer length for splicing or other applications. Different types of equipment exist, from simple hand-held tools to complex automated machinery designed for high-volume production.
Precise and consistent insulation removal is critical for electrical safety and performance. Automated methods minimize the risk of damaging the conductor, ensuring reliable connections and preventing short circuits. Historically, wire stripping was a time-consuming manual process prone to errors. The development of these automated tools significantly improved efficiency and quality in electrical work, especially within industries like electronics manufacturing, automotive assembly, and telecommunications.
