Helpful machine cuts and strips wires so that you don’t need to

If you happen to solely want a few wires, it isn’t an enormous deal to simply lower them and strip them your self. However in the event you want dozens and even tons of of wires, that turns into a really laborious process. That’s very true if these wires have to be a exact size, which is good for clear wiring jobs. This machine constructed by Mr Revolutionary routinely cuts and strips wires in only a second to make such jobs a lot simpler.

Earlier than somebody calls us out: no, this machine doesn’t totally strip the wires. It simply precuts the ends in order that the consumer can rapidly pull off the insulation. However it’s nonetheless doing all of the exhausting work and could be very helpful. Simply load up a spool of wire, feed it into the machine, set the wire size and stripped lengths, and sit again. The machine will lower via the insulation at one finish, dispense the specified size of wire, lower via the insulation on the different finish, after which lower that piece of wire off so it lands in a set bucket.

If you happen to’ve seen a few of Mr Revolutionary’s different machines, then this may look very acquainted to you. The body is a mix of wooden and 3D-printed elements. Stepper motors feed the wire and actuate the wire cutters, whereas a pastime servo motor directs the wire nearer or farther from the wire cutter blades to carry out both a full lower or a lower via simply the insulation. An Arduino Nano board controls the motors via drivers on a customized PCB. A Nextion touchscreen LCD panel offers the consumer interface for coming into lower parameters. 

If you happen to lower a lot of wires, a machine like this could be indispensable — although it might be good to see adjustment for wire gauge.
