● 0.3-Second Cycle Time with No Blade Changes Across the Full AWG Range
The EW-10MT completes a full stripping cycle in approximately 0.3 seconds— including pneumatic actuation, blade closure, insulation removal, and blade retraction. Crucially, the blade geometry accommodates the full AWG32–AWG14 diameter range without manual blade swaps: the 0.01mm diameter setting precision allows the operator to dial in the exact cable outer diameter on the adjustment ring, and the tool self-centres on the cable for each cycle. This eliminates the setup time and blade inventory management overhead associated with conventional bench-top strippers that require dedicated blades per wire gauge family.
● Full Strip and Partial Strip in One Tool
The EW-10MT supports both full stripping (complete insulation removal over 1–19mm lengths) and partial stripping (insulation scored and removed over 2.5–3mm to leave a fold-back tab for shield termination or mid-strip operations). Switching between modes requires no tool change — only the strip length parameter is adjusted. This dual-mode capability makes it suitable for coaxial cable pigtail preparation, shielded wire shield fold-back, and standard wire end preparation in the same workflow.
● Pneumatic Drive: Consistent Force Independent of Operator Technique
Unlike manual hand-held wire strippers where stripping force varies with operator grip and fatigue, the EW-10MT's air-driven pneumatic actuation delivers consistent blade closure force on every cycle — independent of operator technique, hand strength, or production fatigue across a shift. This is the primary reason pneumatic strippers are specified over manual tools in quality-critical applications (aerospace, medical, precision electronics) where conductor nick rate and strip length consistency must be documented.
● Compact and Lightweight for Bench-Top or In-Situ Use
At 2.0kg net weight and 265×70×135mm, the EW-10MT can be mounted on a bench stand, held in hand, or positioned directly on a wiring harness board — making it suitable for prototype assembly, repair and rework stations, and field service environments where a full bench-top automatic stripper cannot be deployed. Air supply requirement is standard workshop compressed air (hose connection); no electrical power connection is required.
Aerospace & defence wire harness assembly and repair
MIL-SPEC fine-gauge wire (AWG24–AWG32) in avionics harnesses requires zero-nick stripping documented to AS22759 and MIL-W-22759 standards. The EW-10MT's pneumatic actuation and 0.01mm diameter precision deliver the conductor integrity and strip length consistency required for aerospace harness build and field repair operations where manual stripping is not accepted.
Medical device cable assembly
Fine-gauge wire in diagnostic equipment, patient monitoring leads, and implantable device cables (AWG30–AWG24) requires nick-free stripping where conductor damage is a patient safety issue. The consistent pneumatic force and precise blade depth control of the EW-10MT address this requirement in low-volume, high-value medical cable assembly environments.
Prototype & R&D wire assembly
Engineering labs and prototype assembly teams processing small batches of mixed wire gauges benefit from the EW-10MT's no-blade-change design — one tool covers AWG32 to AWG14 without interruption, allowing engineers to process a full wire gauge range during a prototype build without switching tools or reconfiguring a bench stripper.
Coaxial & shielded cable pigtail preparation
Preparing coaxial cable pigtails (inner conductor exposure) and shielded wire shield fold-back tabs requires partial stripping capability — supported by the EW-10MT's 2.5–3mm partial strip mode. This covers IPEX/MHF pigtail preparation, RG-316 coaxial end preparation, and shielded twisted-pair shield termination in a single tool.
Repair, rework & field service operations
The EW-10MT's 2.0kg weight and compressed-air-only operation make it deployable in field service environments — aircraft maintenance facilities, industrial plant electrical maintenance teams, and defence MRO workshops — where mains-powered bench equipment cannot be used but manual stripping quality is insufficient for the wire gauge being serviced.
Q: What wire sizes does the EW-10MT pneumatic wire stripping machine support, and does it require blade changes between sizes?
A: The EW-10MT handles wire from AWG32 to AWG14 (0.03–2.08mm²) with a maximum outer cable diameter of 3.2mm. No blade changes are required across this entire range — the blade aperture is set by rotating the precision diameter adjustment ring to the cable's outer diameter (adjustable in 0.01mm increments), and the tool self-centres on each cable for consistent stripping.
Q: What is the difference between full strip and partial strip mode?
A: Full strip removes the insulation completely from the wire end over a length of 1–19mm, leaving the bare conductor exposed. Partial strip scores and removes a 2.5–3mm section of insulation while leaving it loosely attached — used for shield fold-back operations on coaxial and shielded cables, or for mid-point insulation removal. Both modes are available on the same tool without any hardware changes.
Q: Why choose a pneumatic wire stripper over a manual hand stripper for fine-gauge wire?
A: Manual hand strippers rely on the operator applying consistent grip force and blade alignment — both of which vary with fatigue, wire gauge changes, and operator-to-operator differences. The EW-10MT's pneumatic actuation closes the blade with a consistent, repeatable force on every cycle regardless of who is operating it or how long the shift has been running. For fine-gauge wire (AWG28–AWG32) where the margin between clean stripping and conductor nick is less than 0.05mm, pneumatic actuation is the standard specified in aerospace (AS9100), medical (ISO 13485), and precision electronics assembly environments.
Q: What air supply is required to operate this machine?
A: The EW-10MT connects to a standard workshop compressed air supply via a pneumatic hose fitting. No electrical power connection is required. Recommended operating pressure and flow rate should be confirmed with the product datasheet or Eastontech sales team for your specific installation. The tool weighs 2.0kg net (2.4kg gross) and measures 265×70×135mm, making it suitable for bench mounting, hand-held use, or harness board deployment.
