SLUG NOT PULLING OFF THE WIRE
When the wire will not strip the most likely cause is that the wire is slipping in the belts during the strip
motion. The second problem that may happen is getting the message “Servo NIP strip” during the strip
motion. Below is a list of items that can affect the machines ability to pull the slug.
Software adjustments for normal strip mode.
1.
Strip diameter . The strip diameter should be set so that the blades come in and just about touch
the conductor. If they do not go far enough the machine has to tear the insulation apart, if they go
too far the conductor will be damaged. Either way will increase the amount of force required to
remove the slug, this causes slipping in the belt.
2.
Cutter way back. The cutter way back value is the amount the blades open before stripping
begins. To prevent the blades from dragging on the conductor during the strip, the cutter way
back value should be set as large as possible, without the slug slipping through the blades.
