Introduction

Stripping
C
After a conductor has been cut it is then prepared for the next
step or for crimping. For this purpose, a specific length of the
conductor insulation has to be removed, while preventing damage to the conductor. The length of the conductor insulation to
be removed depends on the terminal clamping point or the
crimp to be processed.
Professional stripping tools guarantee perfect results due to
precise adjustment of the tool to the corresponding insulation
and the conductor cross-section.
Precision tools by Weidmüller guarantee that the user will
always obtain consistent, reliable stripping results.
“Stripping” means the cutting and removal of the insulation.
The following must be ensured in performing this task.
The stripping dimension must be observed and neither the
conductor nor the remaining insulation must be damaged.
To avoid mistakes, use a stripping tool matched to the
insulation and cross-section of the conductor.
C.2
Do not use work knives or penknives because the stripping
quality when using such tools depends entirely on the manual
dexterity of the user. The quality is not consistent, even when
the user is highly skilled.
Preference should be given to hand-operated tools that adjust
automatically to the corresponding cross-section of the
conductor. They do not damage to the conductor during
stripping and avoid faults.
stripax® stripping tools guarantee a consistent stripping result
which complies with DIN regulations. The tools are rated
for standard dimension PVC insulation. Any PVC insulation
thicknesses deviating from normal can be set manually. The
conductor stopper and integrated wire cutter allow highly
versatile use of the tools.
Special insulation types such as Teflon, Silicone and Kapton
require special stripping tools. These tools strip the conductor
with punch blades.
Stripping
Introduction
C
DIN IEC 60352 part 2 contains references to stripping
faults which must be avoided:
Correctly stripped conductor
Possible faults during stripping:
The conductor insulation has
been damaged by the stripping
tool
Single conductors have been
damaged or cut off by the
stripping tool
Insulation has not been cut
properly
Single conductors have been
twisted too tightly afterwards
Remains of the conductor
insulation are still to be found
on the stripped conductor
Single conductors are no
longer twisted.

multi-stripax – the troubleshooter
®
• Interchangeable stripping units
• Proper stripping of any conductor – round, flat or special
profiles – thanks to the specially shaped stripping blades
• Incorporates cutting function for up to 2.5 mm2 solid and
6 mm2 fine
• Non-fatiguing operation thanks to ergonomic design
• No damage to conductor or remaining insulation
• Good stripping results for industrial applications
• Stripping results reproduced accurately time and time again
• A long-lasting, reliable tool thanks to its robust design
• Plus, the customary Weidmüller repair service
Special stripping units – the answer to diverse stripping
tasks
The multi-stripax® tool – distinguished by its robust design –
was developed to handle all the stripping tasks met with
in practice. Thanks to the interchangeable stripping units,
a special solution can be found for every challenge in the
marketplace.
C
The specially shaped stripping blades guarantee perfect
stripping results. The guide plates ensure the correct positioning
of the wire and therefore prevent damage to the remaining wire.
The clamping jaws hold the conductor with just the right force
during the stripping operation and are matched to the specific
situation. This flexibility within the variables that affect the result
of the stripping operation turns the multi-stripax® tool into a
universal troubleshooter.
