Stripping, Crimping and Cable Processing
Stripping Tools
Stripping tools separate the insulation from the conductor without nicking the individual strands of a flexible conductor. The decisive criteria are the cross section range in mm² and AWG, the type of cut (longitudinal cut on the core, circular cut on the outer sheath) and, on automatic strippers, the self-setting clamping width with length stop. For workstations inside an EPA there are versions with dissipative handles to IEC 61340-5-1, and VDE tested pliers rated 1000 V for work on live parts. The range covers 349 articles, with Ideal, Knipex, C.K, Weidmüller, Wiha and Bernstein as the leading brands.

How to choose Stripping Tools
What matters when choosing: properties, comparison and typical applications.
Technical features
Designs and working ranges
| Design | Working range | Type of cut | Use |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stripping pliers with fixed shaped blades | fixed cross section per blade position | longitudinal | repeat work on one constant cross section |
| Adjustable stripping pliers | up to 10 mm² | longitudinal | control cabinet and installation work |
| Automatic stripping pliers | 0,2-6 mm² | longitudinal with length stop | changing cross sections |
| Precision stripper | strands Ø 0,25-0,80 mm | longitudinal | electronics and fine strand wire in the EPA |
| Sheath stripping knife with hook blade | round cable Ø 4-28 mm | circular and longitudinal | sheath removal on installation cable |
| Data and coaxial cable stripper | Ø 3,2-9 mm | multi step circular | network, antenna and transmission technology |
Typical applications
Typical applications: control cabinet building and terminal wiring with changing conductor cross sections; cable assembly in electronics manufacturing; network cabling on UTP and STP lines; antenna and coaxial work with a defined strip length; test field and repair at EPA workstations with dissipative tools; maintenance on plant equipment with VDE requirements.
