• •  Try to utilize industrial cable strippers and general use cable strippers with rubber handles. In the event that there is some electricity flowing through the wires being cut, this can help protect a person. Nonetheless, individuals should do everything they can to assure that the electricity is not running through the wires, otherwise they risk serious personal injury regardless of whether or not the cable cutters have rubber or insulated handles.

Cable strippers are key components to wire processing operations. Find sources for your wire stripper industrial needs online to easily compare prices and products and place immediate orders. Handheld industrial cable strippers are still available and as useful as ever, but technological advances have led to the creation of automatic wire strippers that allow faster stripping times.

Whether you're processing one wire per day or one hundred, find the industrial wire stripper to fit your needs online. Know the options available to help you find the right tool:

1. Browse online catalogs to easily compare prices and details on a wide variety of cable strippers.
2. Find handheld industrial wire strippers for smaller projects or jobs in constricted spaces.
3. Purchase a pneumatic wire stripper or other automatic cable cutters and strippers to make wire processing easier.

Search online catalogs to compare wire stripper industrial products

The Internet is vast and it can be frustrating trying to navigate your way to the exact product you need. Find a website that offers an online catalog of industrial wire stripper products to make your search easier. Easily compare products and prices, and use catalog search tools to find a product that fits your exact specifications.

I recommend: Artos offers an easy-to-use product catalog on their website. Browse their products by name or do a product search to find the right wire stripping tool you need. Klein Connection has a catalog of their cable cutting products organized by product category, with large full-color illustrations so you know exactly what tool you're purchasing.

Find a handheld industrial wire stripper

If you work in the field or need mobility, handheld wire strippers are the best option. They're portable are available in all price ranges. For a cheaper option, purchase a manually operated wire stripper. Spend more for the increased of an automatic handheld wire stripper.

I recommend: CableOrganizer.com sells a wide variety of cable cutters and strippers manufactured by Greenlee Tools. Check out their online catalog to compare prices on handheld cable strippers. Western Industrial Products is a pneumatic cable strippers manufacturer specializing in handheld cable strippers. View their website for products that may be used as a coaxial cable stripper and on many other cable types.

Buy automatic wire processors to make your job easier

If you need to process large amounts of wire, buying an automatic cable cutter is a good investment. Find machines that will do all your cutting for you, saving you time and labor.

I recommend: Eubanks sells a number of automatic and semi-automatic wire processors. Buy a pneumatic wire stripper or one of their fully programmable models. Cutter Industries sells multiple models of their automatic cable cutter products. Program their machines to complete wire processing procedures automatically.

• •  If mechanical cable cutters and strippers can't accomplish the job you need done, take a look at laser wire strippers. Laser wire strippers are good for small gauge wires and short wire lengths that are hard to process mechanically.

A cable stripper is a device with which you can strip the insulation over an electric wire or a set of wires. Although traditional cable strippers operate mechanically, powered strippers are available.

If you want to buy a cable stripper or learn to use one, you'll need to be aware of certain terms related to cable strippers. This guide covers some of the terminology related to cable strippers, such as wire stripper, ratchet cutter, laser wire stripper and wire crimping.

B107.37

B107.37 is a standard set by the ASME (American Society of Mechanical Engineers) for cable strippers that states the performance and safety requirements for wire strippers and describes other functions. ASME has developed this standard for manufacturing wire strippers and cutters.

I recommend: To learn more about this standard, you can read through its scope at ASME International.

Wire strippers

To make an electric connection, the insulation covering wires must be taken off. Wire strippers or cable strippers make this job easy. Using a wire stripper you can grab the wire and pull off any length of insulation over a conducting wire.

I recommend: To learn more about wire strippers, you can read through information at GlobalSpec, an informative Web site.

Ratchet cutters

A ratchet cutter is a manual cable cutter that has a fixed and moveable handle part, and a blocking lever that can move into a release position to cut the cable in the requisite manner.

I recommend: For information about ratchet cutters, read through the glossary at CableOrganizer.com, a supplier of electrical supplies and components.

Laser wire strippers

A laser stripper applies a laser beam that vaporizes the wire insulation without damaging the underlying electrical conductors. A laser wire stripper consists of a laser, an optical system, safety devices and other controls to protect the operator from any injury.

I recommend: You can get detailed information on laser wire strippers and related technology at Assembly Magazine, an e-magazine catering to the manufacturing industries.

Cable jacket splitters

A cable jacket splitter is a tool that can easily split the insulation jacket from the cable, exposing the underlying conducting wires for establishing connections.

I recommend: You can get an overview of cable jacket splitters, at Electrical Materials Company, a manufacturer of electrical products.

Wire crimping

Today, you can get multipurpose tools in the market, such as hand crimpers that are useful for crimping as well as for stripping insulation. Proper crimping makes electrical connections less prone to shorting.

I recommend: You can get further information on wire crimping at Acroname, Inc., an expert in robotic applications.
