Wire Cutting & Stripping Machine (1.5 - 35 mm2) (3-layer stripping for shield cable)

Shielded cable and industrial control cable assembly

Shielded control cables (1.5–16mm², braided or foil shield) used in CNC machinery, industrial robots, and servo drive wiring require 3-layer end preparation before connector assembly. The EW-05A's dedicated 3-layer program handles the specific strip length combination — outer jacket long, shield fold-back medium, inner insulation short — required for EMC-rated circular connector termination in a single automated cycle.

Defence and aerospace wire harness processing

MIL-SPEC shielded cables used in avionics and defence electronics typically require outer jacket strip lengths of 100–250mm for backshell and braid fold-back dimensions specified in MIL-C-38999 and ARINC 600 connector standards. The EW-05A's 250mm Side I maximum strip length and 8-roller no-mark feed directly address this requirement, which shorter-stroke cable strippers cannot accommodate without repositioning the cable mid-process.

Medical equipment cable assembly

Shielded cables for imaging equipment, patient monitoring leads, and surgical device power supplies require nick-free inner conductor stripping at consistent depths. The belt-type 8-roller drive maintains the zero-compression-mark surface quality specified in IEC 60601-1 cable assembly guidelines for medical device wiring where jacket surface integrity is part of the finished product inspection.

ICT and data centre cable preparation

Cat6A and Cat7 shielded twisted pair (STP/SFTP) cables, shielded coaxial bundles, and screened multicore cables used in structured cabling and data centre infrastructure require outer foil or braid shield preparation alongside conductor stripping. The EW-05A's 3-layer capability covers the shield preparation steps specified for ANSI/TIA-568 Category 6A and ISO/IEC 11801 Class FA shielded cabling terminations.

EV motor and power electronics shielded cable processing

Shielded cables for EV motor drives, inverter signal wiring, and ADAS sensor connections use braided and foil shield constructions in the 1.5–35mm² range where both shield continuity and inner conductor strip length are dimensional quality parameters. The EW-05A's programmable 3-layer stripping handles these specifications without per-job mechanical setup changes.

Q: What is the 3-layer stripping function and which cable types require it?

A: The EW-05A stores a dedicated 3-layer stripping program that sequentially strips outer jacket, shield layer (braid or aluminium foil), and inner insulation to three independently set depths and lengths in a single automated cycle. Cables requiring this function include braided-shield and foil-shield control cables, servo and motor drive cables with EMC shielding, coaxial cable bundles, and MIL-SPEC shielded wire — any cable construction where the shield and inner insulation are separate layers requiring different strip dimensions.

Q: Why does the EW-05A support a 250mm strip length on Side I when most strippers offer 50–100mm?

A: The 250mm maximum strip length on Side I is specifically designed for large-body connector assemblies — such as MIL-C-38999 military circular connectors, ARINC-style aerospace connectors, and heavy industrial circular connectors — that require the cable jacket to be removed over 150–250mm to accommodate the connector backshell, braid fold-back, and strain relief fitting before the individual conductors reach the termination pins. Standard cable strippers with 50–100mm strip range cannot prepare these cables in a single cycle; the EW-05A's automatic roller-open mechanism enables the full 250mm travel without requiring the cable to be removed and repositioned.

Q: How does the 8-roller belt drive differ from a standard roller drive?

A: A standard 4-roller drive contacts the cable at four narrow points, concentrating clamping force on a small contact area. The EW-05A's 8-roller system with belt-type contact surfaces wraps the feed force around a larger section of the cable circumference, achieving stronger feed force on heavy 25–35mm² cables without the surface compression marks that narrow rollers produce. Roller gap and pressure are both digitally set on the touchscreen in 0.1mm increments, stored per program, and applied automatically on recall — eliminating the mechanical adjustment between cable types that slows changeover on manually adjusted machines.

Q: What optional modules are available for the EW-05A?

A: Available factory-fitted options include: a middle strip (window strip) module for removing insulation at a defined mid-point on the cable (for shield fold-back or mid-point connector assembly); a slit module for longitudinal jacket cutting; a pre-feeder for continuous reel-to-reel input; a stacker for organised output; and a coiler for wound output delivery. The EW-05A+M (available as a dedicated model) integrates the mid-strip module as standard.
