The insulation is removed by a hand held stripper or by a stripping machine. The details of the length of wire, the size of the conductor are fed into the machine. The length of the wire to be stripped is also fed into the conductor. Special sensors monitor the length of the stripped conductor and whether the conductor is damaged.
Stripping machines can perform full strips, Half strip, Inner processing of conductors.
Particularly difficult are special conductors such as ribbon cables and coaxial cables.
