Which table model among the wire cutting and stripping machines is the easiest to operate?

Most desktop models have an integrated display in the size of the pre-smartphone era. In this respect, the Metzner AM 1000 stands out from the crowd with its standard, foldable 12” color touchscreen.

How to tell if a cable cutting and stripping machine is a good investment?

If you purchase an automated wire cutting and stripping machine, it should be able to process all your wires. Check the manufacturer's specifications for the outer diameter of the cables and the cross section. The wider the machine is set up, the better for you. Of course, simple operation and tool-free changing of all tools in the machine are essential. And then you should carefully compare the hardware and software equipment, as this is where you will find the biggest differences.

How do you choose the right wire cutting and stripping machine?

The two most important parameters for your selection are the outer diameter of the wires that the machine can process and the cable cross section. The machine must cover your range of cables. The next step is, of course, the purchase price. The software is a real cost driver. So you best check it out: Does the machine have network or MES integration? Is a cable list production on board? Is the machine prepared for printers, unwinders and coilers? Or do you have to spend extra for all this?

With multi-blade module for cutting, stripping & slitting in a single pass

Versatility on a new level

The AM 2900 comes standard with the Metzner multi-blade module, enabling cutting, stripping, and slitting in a single operation. The combination of V and radius blades ensures precise, deformation-free cuts and perfect cable ends – even for longer cable lengths up to 999 m and cross-sections up to 35 mm².

Expanded capabilities as standard

With a maximum feed speed of 180 m/min and cable outer diameters up to 15 mm, the AM 2900 processes cables quickly, reliably, and with consistent precision. The AM 2950 extends the portfolio with additional processing options via a rotary module for especially complex cables such as coaxial or multilayer cables – highly precise, clean, and without manual rework.

Automatic inner conductor processing

In combination with the multi-blade module, the machines can automatically strip multi-core cables with up to six inner conductors. After removing the outer sheath, spring-loaded clamping jaws precisely position the inner conductors before the stripping blade performs partial or full stripping. Previously separate steps are thus combined into a seamless, automatic process.

Minimal setup time: Cut flexibly, produce faster

Automatic inner conductor processing

With the inner conductor processing of the AM 2900/2950, up to six inner conductors can be stripped automatically, either partially or fully.

Stripping is performed after removing the outer sheath
Spring-loaded clamping jaws precisely align the inner conductors
Full-strip including automatic disposal of scrap pieces
Operations for outer sheath and inner conductors are combined

MULTI-BLADE MODULE

Efficiency. Time savings. Reliability.
