When crimping large-size cables, the operating steps of using a wire stripper and a terminal machine are as follows:

1. Preparation

  • Tool preparation: Make sure there are wire strippers and terminal machines suitable for large-size cables. Check the model and specifications of the equipment to confirm that they can handle the required cable size.
  • Material preparation: Prepare suitable terminals and cables, as well as the required protective sleeves or insulation materials.

 

2. Strip wires using a wire stripper

  • Adjust the wire stripper: Adjust the parameters of the wire stripper according to the specifications of the cable, including the depth of the blade and the length of the stripping. Make sure the settings are appropriate to avoid damaging the conductor inside the cable.
  • Stripping the insulation layer: Insert one end of the cable into the wire stripper, start the device, and carefully strip the insulation layer to expose the appropriate length of the wire. For large-size cables, it may be necessary to strip step by step to ensure that no damage is caused to the inside of the cable.
  • Check the stripping quality: After stripping, check the exposed wire to make sure there is no broken wire or damage. If there is a problem, readjust the device and strip the wire again.

 

Xingchuangxin's large square wire stripper can perfectly complete this task. XCX-28-150 Stripping range 28-150 square millimeters. Fully automatic working mode, easy to operate and high efficiency.

3.Preparing the Terminals

  • Select the appropriate terminal: Select the appropriate terminal according to the cable specifications and application. Make sure the terminal's hole is large enough to accommodate the bare cable conductors.
  • Insert the cable: Insert the stripped cable conductors into the terminal's hole, making sure all the wires enter the terminal and fit tightly.

 

4. Use a large square terminal machine for crimping

  • Adjust the terminal machine: Adjust the die and pressure of the terminal machine according to the type and size of the terminal. Make sure the pressure is moderate and sufficient to form a firm crimp without damaging the cable.
  • Crimp the terminal: Place the terminal into the crimping area of ​​the terminal machine and start the terminal machine for crimping. Make sure the crimped terminal is firm and not loose.
  • Check the crimping quality: After the crimping is completed, check the crimping points of the terminal to ensure that it is firm and not loose. If there is a problem, adjust the equipment parameters and re-crimp.

 

Xingchuangxin's large square terminal machine can complete this step perfectly. XCX-50T, crimping range 2.5-300 square millimeters, pressure up to 50T, suitable for a variety of dies, hexagonal, open-hole hexagonal, quadrilateral dies do not need to change dies. High efficiency and high pressure.

5. Insulation treatment

  • Insulation sleeve: If necessary, insulate the crimped terminals and wrap the crimping area with heat shrink tubing or insulation tape to ensure electrical insulation.
  • Heat shrink treatment: Use a hot air gun to heat the heat shrink tubing to make it fit tightly to the terminals and cables to provide good insulation and mechanical protection.

6. Final inspection

  • Check the connection quality: Perform a final inspection to ensure that all connections are firm and the insulation treatment is in place.
  • Test the connection: If conditions permit, an electrical test can be performed to ensure that the crimped terminals are in good contact and there is no short circuit or poor contact.

7. Precautions

  • Safety protection: Wear protective gloves and goggles during operation to avoid accidental injuries.
  • Equipment maintenance: Check the blades and dies of the wire stripping machine and terminal machine regularly to keep the equipment in good condition.
  • Operation specifications: Strictly follow the equipment manual and operating procedures to avoid damage to cables or terminals caused by improper equipment parameter settings.
  • Through the above steps, you can use the wire stripping machine and terminal machine to complete the crimping of large-size cables to ensure the reliability and safety of electrical connections.
