Application
Strip Types
The Mercury-6 allows flexible wire stripping:
- cross-cut: laser separates the slug of insulation - operator pulls off as a second operation
- slit: laser makes a cross cut but also slits along the insulation to aid peeling off a long length (especially used for cable jackets)
- two cross-cuts
- two cross-cuts with a slit
- three cross-cuts.
Materials
As with all the Mercury systems, the Mercury-6 machine is capable of stripping all types of polymer insulations. The amount of melt, vaporization or chemical decomposition depends on the exact polymers used. Below is a non-exhaustive list of materials that can be stripped:
- Fluoropolymers, such as PTFE, ETFE, PFA
- Polyethylene
- Nylon
- Silicone
- PVC
- Rubber
- Mylar
- Fiberglass
- Polyurethane
- Polyester
