Automatic RF Coaxial Cable Stripping Machine (1.13-9.5mm)(9-Layer Rotary Stripping)

● RF & microwave cable assembly

SMA, N-type, BNC, and FAKRA connector assembly requires precise multi-layer stripping of the outer jacket, braid shield, foil, and dielectric to defined exposed lengths — often three or four different strip dimensions on a single cable end. The EW-06F's 9-layer capability and 0.01mm precision directly address these requirements on RG-174, RG-316, RG-58, and LMR-series cables.

● Automotive RF & antenna cable processing

FAKRA and HSD connector cables in automotive infotainment, GPS, and ADAS systems use semi-flexible coaxial constructions in the ø3–7mm range. The EW-06F handles these without cutter changes across the full automotive FAKRA diameter family, supporting Tier 1 supplier production volumes of 750–1,150 pcs/h.

● Medical cable & imaging device assembly

Ultrasound probe cables, ECG lead wires, and endoscope signal cables use multi-layer shielded coaxial constructions where stripping damage to inner layers causes immediate device failure. The rotary cutter frame's programmatic depth control and automatic wire centering reduce the conductor nick rate that is the primary quality concern in medical cable stripping.

● Aerospace & defence RF harness

MIL-SPEC coaxial cables (RG-142, RG-393) used in avionics and communications systems require precise shield fold-back lengths and dielectric expose distances for MIL-C-39012 connector termination. The EW-06F-2's 65mm maximum strip length and 4-blade configuration accommodate the longer strip dimensions specified for these connector types.

● Telecommunications & 5G infrastructure

Jumper cables and feeder cables for base station antenna connections use ø5–9.5mm coaxial constructions — within the EW-06F-2's operating range — where consistent stripping across high-volume production batches is required for RF connector assembly lines.

Q: What cable types and diameters does the EW-06F coaxial cable stripping machine support?

A: The EW-06F handles flexible and semi-flexible coaxial cables from ø0.8mm to ø7mm (e.g. RG-174, RG-316, FAKRA automotive cables), with a maximum stripping length of 48mm. The EW-06F-2 variant extends the diameter range to ø1.5–9.5mm with a 65mm maximum strip length, covering larger RF cables such as RG-58 and RG-142. Both models strip up to 9 layers and are compatible with automotive, medical, and RF/microwave cable constructions.

Q: How does the rotary stripping method protect inner cable layers from damage?

A: The rotary cutter frame orbits the cutting tool around the cable circumference during each stripping pass, rather than pressing blades inward from one direction. Combined with automatic wire centering (which ensures the cable axis aligns with the rotation centre before cutting begins) and 0.01mm depth increment control, this geometry prevents the eccentric blade contact that causes conductor nicks and dielectric surface damage on conventional inward-press strippers. For medical and aerospace cables where inner layer damage is a zero-tolerance defect, this is the primary reason rotary stripping is specified over standard V-blade methods.

Q: Can this machine strip cables with braided shield layers?

A: Yes. The specific axis positioning device and rotary cutting tool are designed to handle braided shield constructions — the braid layer is included in the 9-layer maximum. The EW-06F-2 with 4 tungsten steel blades provides better braid cutting performance on dense braid constructions (e.g. RG-58 with high braid coverage) compared to the 2-blade EW-06F. Stripping depth for the braid layer is set independently from the outer jacket depth in the program parameters.

Q: How many cable programs can be stored, and how quickly can operators switch between them?

A: Both models store 99 independent programs, each containing all stripping parameters — layer depths, stripping lengths, feed speed, rotation time, and clamping force. Switching between programs requires only a touchscreen selection; no mechanical adjustment is needed. In mixed-production environments processing multiple coaxial cable types per shift, this reduces changeover time to under 30 seconds per cable type switch.
