INCONSISTANT STRIP LENGTH
Inconsistent strip length is usually caused by one the following items.
1.
The wire insulation is moving on the conductor after the strip. To see if this is happening set the part
to do a cut only, no stripping. Run some parts and examine the cut end. Notice if the insulation is
pulling back from the cut strands. If the insulation is pulling back try adjusting the straightener
tension to reduce the problem.
2.
There could be a problem in the machine where the internal timing belt is loose or one of the pulleys
is loose. This will cause lost motion with the feed belts back up to strip the wire.
Infeed drive belts and pulleys. Check both belts for missing teeth, tightness, and check each pulley
for tightness.
