When working with cable ducts, cable channels or power distribution systems, the space available for movement is usually very limited. The space limitation is particularly acute when stripping cables. If the working radius required by a tool is too large, this can lead to problems with stripping the cable. Within the context of its FieldPower® development for decentralised power distribution, Weidmüller designed the AM 16 and AMF 6/10 stripping tools. Both tools are perfect for use in tight, compact spaces.

AM16 for round cable
The small, easy-to-handle AM 16 model is used for round cable. It has a wide guiding mechanism that can help you to make very accurate cuts into the insulation sheath. This makes it very good for sequential stripping processes. The AM 16 can be used to strip off the insulation at any desired place on the cable. The tools have a high-quality, pivoting blade for carrying out both circular and lengthwise cuts. Grasping tips with an integrated cutting edge then break open the cut insulation. An adjustment screw can be used with a single hand position for changing either the cutting depth or the type of stripping (round or lengthwise cutting).
AMF 6/10 for flat cable
Nowadays flat cables are being used more frequently. They are especially popular for power distribution systems where efficient use of space is a major issue. But since no special stripping tool existed for flat cable, Weidmüller designed the model AMF 6/10.
The tool has a removable guide that helps to achieve straight and consistent cuts in the insulating sheath while at the same time minimising the risk of injury. The AMF 6/10 has been design to work with 6 mm² and 10 mm² flat cables. The insulation can be separated at any position on the cable – along the flat sides and also along the edges. The user can use the integrated cutting edge to break off the cut insulation. The stripping tool has a two-part construction and a special retainer clip to help it with even the toughest jobs. These mechanisms allow the user to adjust the blade's cutting depth according to the type of insulation in use. The tool's retainer clip can be used to prevent the blade from being accidentally adjusted.
