    Selecting the correct wire strippers for 2 different types of wires

    A small incision of a razor blade down the middle of the two wires and the outside shrink wrap will just peel away. Nothing like overthinking an easy problem. Thanks

    Selecting the correct wire strippers for 2 different types of wires

    Automated or manually depends on the price. This isn't a high production process, but of course the quicker, the better. Wire is 22 AWG The two wires that are shrink wrapped together are our main concern.

    Selecting the correct wire strippers for 2 different types of wires

    I have two different types of wires that need stripping. One bundle has a diameter of .125" and contains 2 wires inside. The other bundle contains 2 wires that are shrink wrapped together. We need to cut these wires to various lengths and then be able to strip and tin them without damaging...

    Coating 316SS inorder to not apply paste when mating with other steels

    Yes, the problem lies between those two materials. While changing materials is an option, it's the last resort. I'm trying to see what coatings are available that can eliminate the use of assembly paste while protecting against fretting, wear, and galling. The coating also needs to have a low...

    Coating 316SS inorder to not apply paste when mating with other steels

    After doing a little research I came across Magnaplate HMF. From their description the coating gives the part permanent lubricity and effectively ensures against galling and seizing. Cost has not been evaluated yet as I'm trying to find any alternatives to our current practice. Of course...

    Coating 316SS inorder to not apply paste when mating with other steels

    Hi, I just found this forum and it's been a great deal of help. Here's the current scenario: We manufacture and assemble needle valves. The needle valve stem is installed into a needle valve bonnet which is then installed onto the needle valve body. The stem is made of 316SS, the bonnet of...
