Troubleshooting Common Issues in Multi-Core Cable Stripping and Crimping Machines

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.
