Preparation of Profibus cables
Profibus Stripper No. 2
Weicon
Tools strippers enable the fast and safe stripping of all common round cables.
The product line of stripping tools includes different models that have been
developed for various applications. Based on the classic Coax-Stripper No. 2,
which is easy to handle and boasts an ergonomic design, Weicon has developed a
special tool for preparing Profibus cables – the Profibus Stripper No. 2.
Preparing Profibus cables
With
the tool Profibus Stripper No. 2, the outer sheath and the underlying
shielding can be cleanly cut enabling the user to strip the Profibus cable
according to its connector. The required stripping length can be selected with
the visual measuring scale in the module. In this way, Ethernet cables can be
prepared precisely for the FastConnect connector. For stripping lengths of 17 mm,
20 mm, 24 mm and 30 mm, the usual measurements are visually
marked in the module. The stripper was developed to cut Profibus cables in the
range from 5.5 mm to 8 mm with two pairs of blades at the same time
for a precise fit. The cutting structure creates an ideal preparation for
FastConnect connectors – even with different cable diameters. If necessary, the
pairs of blades in the half-shells can be replaced or renewed as modules.
Ergonomics and safety
In
addition to considerations of user friendliness, ergonomics and intuitive
handling were taken into account in the development of the tool. The
ergonomically-shaped handle ensures a safe grip of the tool and therefore safe
usage. Since the blades are located inside the tool, the risk of injury is
significantly reduced.
Made in Germany
As
usual with Weicon Tools, the stripper was developed and manufactured entirely
in Germany. The tool – made of robust glass-fibre reinforced polyamide – was
produced in the German town of Ascheberg, Westphalia, and the steel for the
blades is from Solingen. The tool is 110 mm long, weighs 35 grammes
and is supplied in a recyclable cardboard packaging.
