Mandrel
Providing support for the braid to be cut without affecting the inner insulation is the key function of the
mandrel (see Figure 16). This component, like the Contour Blades and Cuttting Wheels, is sized
specifically for each cable size and should be paired accordingly (see Section 3.5 for tooling). During a
standard cycle, the mandrel will slide in between the braid and inner core to the appropriate depth. The
Cutting Arm will move the Cutting Wheels into place against the braid and make a complete cut as the
head rotates around the mandrel. The mandrel is a wear item item. The machine will warn the user when
a replacement is necessary.

Cable Sensor
When touched by the cable to be processed (see Figure 17), the cable sensor initiates machine function.
This feature ensures consistent strip lengths of the cable. It can also be set to automatically run a
sequence or run by operator inititation (button on the User Interface).
