Control cabinet construction has come a long way with the introduction of digitalisation and automation, but manual work is still a significant part of the process, with over 70% of the installation involving manual labour. This makes it crucial to optimise mechanical assembly and wiring workflows to improve efficiency.
Employing high-quality and efficient tools can significantly reduce the time required for the process. One of the most critical tasks in control cabinet installation is the quick and safe stripping of cables and wires.
WAGO has a range of professional stripping tools in its portfolio, offering low wear and a secure grip thanks to titanium nitride-coated blades and non-slip grip zones. Their stripping pliers for control and sensor cables offer quick and easy stripping without damaging the wires, with no need for adjustments to the cable diameter. The long service life of these tools is ensured by replaceable cutting blades, making them ideal for sensor/actuator cables, highly flexible TPE-U cables, PUR cables, PUR/PVC cables, PCV cables, shielded and unshielded, multi-core cable structures.
WAGO also offers a cable knife, with 5 interchangeable brackets, a precise round cut, and ergonomic handling. It provides high safety levels during and after work, as there are no exposed knives. The variable adjustment of the cutting depth of the cable knife and hook blade makes it ideal for different cable types.
For uncomplicated cable routing, the universal stripper offers quick and easy longitudinal cutting for halogen-free cables. It has a contoured blade for stripping individual wires from 0.2 mm² to 4.0 mm², safe working, and a slider with a locking mechanism. It is suitable for stripping all common round cables: Ø 8 …13 mm e.g. E.g.: NYM 3 x 1.5 to NYM 5 x 2.5 (PVC and halogen-free) earth cable up to 5 x 1.5. Standard-compliant test tips are an essential part of control cabinet construction.
WAGO provides optimized test tips with a diameter of 2 mm that enable direct and standard-compliant measurements in CAT III and IV applications without any additional adapter. Their adapter-free current and voltage measurements allow electricians to measure currents up to 10 A with small, removable test probes. These tools make control cabinet construction efficient and safe.
