Fully automatic optical cable sheath stripping machines efficiently remove outer jackets and coatings from single or multi-core optical cables with high precision and speed.

Overview

Fully automatic optical cable sheath stripping machines are designed to automate the removal of protective coatings, jackets, and Kevlar layers from optical fibers and multi-core cables. These machines eliminate the need for manual stripping, improving precision, consistency, and production efficiency while reducing the risk of fiber damage .

Key Features

• Automation and CNC Control: Many machines, such as the AOFC-8030H, use CNC-controlled micro-computerized programs to manage stripping operations for multiple cores simultaneously, ensuring consistent results .
• Multi-function Capability: Advanced models like the FBT-3000 can perform cable peeling, Kevlar shearing, and outer sheath splitting in a single action, supporting single and duplex optical cables with diameters from 1.8 mm to 3.0 mm .
• High Production Efficiency: Fully automatic machines can process up to 1200 cores per hour, with adjustable stripping lengths (e.g., 16–65 mm) and Kevlar cutting widths (3–12 mm), making them suitable for high-volume production .
• Non-contact and Gentle Stripping: Some systems, such as plasma-assisted strippers, remove buffer materials up to 1200 µm in diameter without contact, preserving fiber strength and avoiding mechanical stress .
• Adjustable and Versatile: Machines can handle various fiber coatings (acrylate, silicone, polyimide) and cable types, including single-core, multi-core, and duplex cables, with adjustable parameters for different diameters and jacket thicknesses .
• User Interface and Monitoring: Modern machines feature touchscreen interfaces, dual-language operation, and production quantity records, allowing precise control and monitoring of stripping operations .

Applications

• Telecommunications and Data Networks: Preparing fibers for splicing, connectorization, or high-strength splices.
• Electronics and Electrical Industries: Stripping multi-core cables for motors, appliances, lamps, and toys .
• Laboratory and Production Environments: Ensuring consistent fiber preparation for research, testing, and mass production .

Advantages

• Improved Precision: Automated systems maintain consistent stripping lengths and avoid fiber nicking or scratching.
• Time and Labor Savings: High-speed operation reduces manual labor and increases throughput.
• Safety and Cleanliness: Non-contact or thermal stripping methods reduce exposure to chemicals and mechanical hazards.
• Flexibility: Adjustable settings allow processing of different fiber diameters, coatings, and cable types. Fully automatic optical cable sheath stripping machines are essential for high-volume, high-precision fiber optic production, offering a combination of speed, accuracy, and versatility that manual methods cannot match .
