CABLE STRIPPING

With FLRST Stripping Tools the cable end preparation on semi rigid cable (especially after bending), is quick and precise. Single, dual, and triple steps can be made simultaneously in less than two seconds. Our tools will strip cable sizes from 0.008 inch (0.20mm) to 0.250 inch (6.35mm). Strip lengths are repeatable within a tolerance of +/- 0.002 inch (0.051mm).

Specialized versions of the tools are available to chamfer the outer diameter of semi rigid cable rendering the end flush without burrs. Optional features include manual and automatic slug ejectors for extremely short conductor lengths.

A Flush Cut version of the tool reduces the cut-off burr to a 0.001 inch (0.0254mm) to 0.003 inch (0.762mm) change in diameter depending on the cable diameter. This is as close to burr free that is possible without using a specialized tool. "Close to the bend" and extra long strips are easily accomplished.

We also manufacture a Facing Tool that will precisely remove residual dialectric, solder, etc. from semi rigid cable once it is soldered in a SMA Plug body.

In any application where the cable must be bent first, FLRST tools need to be used. There are no other tools on the market that will trim semi rigid cable after U-bending it to a leg to leg separation of down to 0.275 inch (7mm). Further, use of this tool will eliminate cable waste.
