2 min readAug 27, 2024
Multi-core cable stripping and crimping machines are essential tools in the cable assembly industry. However, even with proper maintenance, issues can arise. Here’s a guide to common problems and their solutions:
Power and Activation
- Foot Pedal: If the foot pedal doesn’t work, inspect the connection or replace it.
- Multiple Crimps: A faulty foot pedal or proximity switch might be causing this.
- No Power: Check the fuse and replace it if necessary.
Performance Issues
- Slow Movement: Ensure the machine is well-lubricated and the operating environment is not too hot.
- Burning Motor: A jammed mold might be overloading the motor.
- Mold Jamming: Lack of lubrication or damage to the mold or slider can cause jamming.
Air and Pressure Problems
- Solenoid Valve: Verify adequate air pressure and check for a faulty valve or open airflow switch.
- Stripping and Crimping Issues
- Broken Wires: Clean the stripping blade to remove wire skin residue.
- Airflow Noise: Replace damaged air pipe joints.
- Stripping Blade Breakage: Ensure proper alignment and adjust the stripping blade if necessary.
Safety and Maintenance
- Mold Replacement: Always turn off the machine before replacing the mold.
- Ultrasonic Interference: Minimize or eliminate interference from nearby ultrasonic equipment.
- Safety First: Keep hands away from the machine before powering it on.
By addressing these common issues and following proper maintenance practices, you can ensure your multi-core cable stripping and crimping machine operates efficiently and reliably.
