Abmantelwerkzeuge für Flachkabel – Modell AMF 6/10 – (links) und für Rundkabel – Modell AM 16 (rechts)

With the models AM 16 and AMF 6/10, Weidmüller is presenting sheath stripping tools for round and flat cables. The model AM 16 for round cables is particularly suitable for physically cramped and restricted working conditions. Its wide guiding aids facilitate considerably more precise incisions in the insulating sheath. As a result, the AM 16 is eminently suitable for sequential stripping of cable sheaths. With the AM 16, the insulation can be stripped at any point required on the cable. The AM 16 model is equipped with a pivotable, high-quality blade for both round and longitudinal cuts. Once the initial cut has been made, the insulation is forced apart by grasping tips each fitted with an integrated blade. Thanks to a set-screw, the exact cutting depth as well as the sheath stripping mode of either round or longitudinal cut can be set in the blink of an eye.

Weidmüller also developed the AMF 6/10 model especially for flat cables. Reducing the risk of injury to a minimum, the removable guide of the AMF 6/10 helps to achieve a straight and consistent cut in the insulating sheath. The AMF 6/10 has been designed for 6 mm² and 10 mm² flat cables. It is possible to strip the cable sheath at any point required. The insulation itself can be split open either on the surface or on the edges. Users break open the cut insulation using the integrated blade. Meeting the most stringent requirements, the two-piece construction consists of a sheath stripping tool and a specially designed clamp. This allows the cutting depth of the blade to be set individually to suit the insulation. Holding the tool in the clamp prevents the blade setting from being inadvertently altered.
