How is it, an automatic wire stripper safes money?

The automatic wire stripper works much faster than any hand, minimizing waste and thus material consumption. It also always delivers the same quality, which makes your products more valuable to your customers

In well-known webshops you can find very inexpensive wire strippers. What is the difference to branded products from European and US manufacturers?

That's easy. Just have a look at those machines. Can you see any safety precautions for the operator? Anyone who uses a machine like this should know that a guillotine is working inside: Whether hand or cable, what goes into the machine is gone. It goes without saying that such machines do not comply with the working guidelines in democratic countries.

If you have a glance at the prices, Metzner wire strippers are more expensive than others, why?

At a first glance, that's right. But every Metzner wire cutter ome with the whole software at no extra fee. Because you need this software. Or would you like to buy a smart phone without an operation system :-)

ADVANTAGES OF AN AUTOMATIC WIRE STRIPPER

There is more about an automatic wire stripper than saving work time and money

An automatic wire stripper has more advantages over a conventional wire stripper than just saving time. One of the least considered advantages is that automation ensures consistent quality.

While the hand still works with millimeter precision when cutting, the accuracy of wire stripping is perhaps in the centimeter range. An automated wire stripper from Metzner, on the other hand, always works with an accuracy of 0.1 mm | 0.004″. Of course, this also saves on materials.

When several people work with conventional wire strippers, you also recognize a certain individuality of their products. The machine doesn’t have this problem. And that is a real advantage, e.g. when such strands are connected to form smaller cable harnesses.

In addition, the automatic machine can be operated immediately. It does not need to be trained as a person. The so-called recipes are developed and saved once. The operator then only has to select the recipe and the quantity and the machine produces the desired products.

Automation means also documentaion of product quality

How the product is handled after cutting and stripping depends largely on your processes and specifications.

The cut and stripped wire can be collected in a box and then manually transported by the operator for further processing. Alternatively, it can be processed automatically.
What this looks like depends on your specifications. For example, the wire can be wound automatically. Or it can be processed further. A system that consists of an automatic wire stripper and cutter and then welds a dozen strands into a cable harness in a specified time, for example, can also be realized.

No matter how far you take the automation of wire processing, one thing is always the same. Thanks to automated processing, you always have documentation of product quality, which is required in more and more production chains.

The cost factor is always an important aspect

Of course, a dozen cable cutters are cheaper to buy than an automatic wire stripper. On the other hand, the machine automatically minimizes waste. It also work faster. An automatic wire stripper and cutter from Metzner processes up to 220 m | 722 ft. of wire per minute. Even the most diligent hands can’t keep up. In addition, post-finishing is not necessary on the Metzner machine. Without exception, the wire is ready for the next process steps.

Another point in favor of automation is the deployment of personnel. The Metzner machine is operated by one person and can also take on other tasks.
The availability of personnel and the willingness to take on simple tasks fluctuates and is decreasing worldwide – at different rates, of course. At the same time, wages and education levels are rising.
Automation with Metzner is therefore an investment in the future of your company. Product quality and output increase, costs decrease and the return on investment is within reach. For more information see also here.
