NEW Weidmüller stripax® ULtimate wire strippers

Weidmüller has expanded its range of stripax® self-adjusting wire strippers with a new, high-precision stripping tool, the stripax® ULtimate.

It is designed to strip wires that have tough, halogen-free insulation, thereby simplifying and reducing wire preparation time.

stripax® ULtimate is also ideal for other types of wire specified for use in high temperature environments, including those classified by UL as THHN and SIS.

The tool’s unique blade set allows users to strip most halogen-free insulation materials and other tough insulation types from AWG 24 to 10, up to a length of one inch. It features a self-adjusting blade – also found on the original stripax® and stripax® 16 – that allows the stripax® ULtimate to automatically adapt to the wire size.

Additional adjustment is obtained by turning a screw beneath the strip blades, for large gauge or wire with very hard insulation. This product also features a three-stage partial stripping function to retain a portion of stripped insulation on the tip of the conductors, in order to prevent the wire strands from fanning out.

Other features include ergonomic design, compact dimensions and low weight at only 7.5 inces and 6 ounces respectively; a cutting option for wire diameters up to 10 AWG, with a foldable protective cover to prevent accidental wire cutting during stripping; clamping jaws that open automatically after stripping; quick and easy blade replacement; easy adjustment for the wire stop mechanism via a slider; and a two-operation process for double-insulated wires without any special adjustment.
