Weidmüller has added the new Stripax Ultimate XL stripping tool to its Stripax range. Application-specific cables with large cross sections and high insulation requirements are used in many areas. When it comes to stripping cables, users are constantly faced with new challenges. We offer a reliable and safe solution with Stripax Ultimate XL: the new stripping tool is designed for cross sections ranging from 2.5 mm² to 10 mm² and effortlessly copes with the most stubborn insulation materials. Even the tough PUR sheathing materials of sensor/actuator cables with 4.1 mm to 7.2 mm diameters present no obstacle.
A unique set of blades (ERME SPX UL XL) enables practically all halogen-free insulation materials as well as UL or UL-type cables with hard or smooth insulation to be stripped quickly, cleanly and with precision in an automatic, self-adjusting process – in the cross-section range 2.5 mm² to 10 mm².
The 3-stage partial stripping function of the Stripax Ultimate XL tool can be adjusted for stripping lengths of 3 mm, 5 mm and 10 mm. This allows users to prep small stripping lengths with ease. And to enable the stripping function to be adjusted symmetrically for extremely thick insulation, such as the very soft materials used for sensors and actuators, the lower stripping jaw can be adjusted by means of a setscrew to precisely match the respective insulation thickness.
The Stripax Ultimate XL has been optimally designed for typical areas of application such as the processing of control lines, earthing cables, motor connection and power bus cables, aluminium cables for machines with a lightweight design or for stripping and dismantling sensor/actuator cables.
Cables with insulating materials made of PE or TPE are often used to produce particularly good dielectric properties in the motor connection cables of tool machines, machining units, processing machines, production lines, assembly lines and robots. We developed our Stripax Ultimate XL precisely for these otherwise difficult-to-process halogen-free insulation materials.
The new stripping tool is also ideal for processing the new types of aluminium cables used in the automotive industry. Since aluminium is much lighter than copper, but with a lower conductivity, the typical cross-sections of copper cables are usually increased by one level for aluminium conductors with the same properties. The new Stripax Ultimate XL is ideal for this type of application too.
Labour pledge to tackle four key barriers in UK energy transition
I'm all for clarity and would welcome anyone who can enlighten me about what Labour's plans are for the size and scale of this Great British Energy....
