KNIPEX PreciStrip16: Precise, automatic insulation stripping with precision adjustment

Published: 20 September 2020 Category: News

The KNIPEX PreciStrip16 enables fine, flexible and solid cables to be stripped quickly and precisely. The capacity range extends from 0.08 to 16 mm2. The pliers can be easily adjusted with a dial for special materials or temperature requirements. Exact stripping of insulation is guaranteed with the parabolic stripping blades, while semi-circular metal holding clamps ensure perfect grip.

KNIPEX PreciStrip16: Precise, automatic insulation stripping with precision adjustment

The KNIPEX PreciStrip16 has a huge range of applications: semi-circular grooved holding clamps ensure good grip and hold practically any insulation material securely in place.

The high-tech wire stripper is based on parabolic stripping blades that separate insulation from both extremely fine-stranded and solid round cables, then automatically strip it off backwards. The blade pair extensively encloses the insulation and is thus suitable for many flexible materials. The blade cassette can be easily replaced.

A patented mechanism automatically regulates the incision depth of the stripping blades to suit the insulation thickness on the conductor within a large capacity range of 0.08 to 16 mm2; the neutral point of this mechanism can be precisely adjusted to account for specific conditions of use (such as specific insulation materials and temperatures). This zero correction allows the new wire stripper to also strip insulation where traditional automatic devices often fail. The automatic mechanism, which is fitted with a large dial with fine and tactile locking positions, increases the range of the KNIPEX PreciStrip16 so that it can handle particularly hard or soft materials. On top of this, it can also take specific temperature conditions into account.

The PreciStrip16 also features a cable cutter on top, which reliably cuts flexible cables up to 16 mm² and solid conductors up to 6 mm². It has an adjustable length stop for accurate repetitive work. The PreciStrip16 also has a description label so it can be personalised, meaning no more mix-ups.
