Integrated wire stripping and crimping mechanics in GLW MC equipment

Combined electromechanical and electropneumatic machines of the GLW MC series execute two-stage wire processing in one smooth operational motion. When an operator inserts a stripped conductor through the guiding funnel, a sensitive internal sensor triggers the cycle.

Precision blades cut the insulation jacket cleanly without nicking delicate copper strands, shifting the sleeve along the conductor. Simultaneously, an integrated feed mechanism positions a collared ferrule from a strip reel, crimping it into a reliable trapezoidal profile within 0.8 to 1.5 seconds.

Precision crimping geometry compliance with DIN 46228 guidelines

High-integrity crimping of stranded copper conductors inside wire sleeves demands strictly controlled mechanical deformation to form gas-tight connections with minimal electrical resistance.

GLW benchtop presses and automatic units shape standardized trapezoidal or square crimp geometry, preventing strand damage or loose wire strands. High-grade alloy tool steel dies eliminate flashing along sleeve edges that could interfere with terminal block insertion.

Stable pressing force generated by EC 65 and PC 65 presses maintains uniform results throughout assembly runs.

Blade adjustment systems and non-destructive stripping on CS 60

Stripping fine instrumentation wires and multi-core conductors from 0.08 to 6 mm² requires blade depth precision to protect internal copper filaments. The GLW CS 60 stripping machine features stepwise blade depth regulation with a digital readout of current settings.

Universal V-shaped alloy tool steel blades cleanly cut PVC, Teflon, silicone, or polyurethane insulation without burrs. A partial stripping function retains the cut slug on the wire tip, shielding copper strands against fraying during intermediate handling prior to terminal block connection.

Length programming and positive roller feeding in LC 160 cut systems

Production runs of wire harnesses for automation panels require strict linear accuracy when cutting flexible leads and protective sleeving. The GLW LC 160 programmable cutting machine employs a digital controller paired with dual polyurethane drive rollers.

The microprocessor panel enables length settings from 1 mm to 999 meters with 0.1 mm resolution. A spring-loaded roller tensioner prevents slippage or tube flattening, providing square, perpendicular cuts at elevated feed rates without structural deformation of sensitive polymers.

Burr-free shearing of DIN mounting rails with manual RC profile tools

Assembling electrical distribution enclosures requires trimming galvanized steel and aluminum mounting channels to panel dimensions. GLW RC 300 and RC 200 bench cutters apply clean shear mechanics that generate no metal chips, shavings, or sparks.

The heavy base and compound linkage generate substantial cutting leverage with minimal operator effort.

An adjustable metric length stop extending up to one meter accelerates repetitive cutting of 35x7.5 mm and 35x15 mm rails, producing edges that require no secondary deburring before DIN rail component mounting.

Preventive service routines for GLW stripping and crimping equipment

Maintaining consistent processing quality and extending machine longevity requires scheduled maintenance on GLW precision equipment.

At the end of each shift, internal work zones of MC 25, MC 40, and CS 60 machines should be cleared of insulation debris using dry compressed air or workshop vacuum equipment.

Linear carriage guides, mechanical cams, and pivot joints require low-viscosity synthetic lubricant application every 50,000 cycles. Periodic torque verification of die retaining screws and maintaining pneumatic supply pressure at 5 bar preserve tooling life.
