CARPENTER MODEL 14B MAGNET WIRE STRIPPER

INTRODUCTION

Thank you for choosing Carpenter Mfg. Co. Inc. Wire Processing Equipment. For over 50 years Carpenter has been a leader in Wire Processing Technology and Service. Our desire has always been to bring you reliable products. We look forward to a long healthy relationship with you and our company.

The MODEL 14B can process a wide range of wire as referenced on the following page. These processing specifications are based upon the most commonly manufactured wire. Special applications may arise with wires that are within the specification limits of the machine but are very difficult or unsuccessful to process. Likewise, wires that exceed the specified limits of the machine can sometimes be processed. Because there are many variables involved in Wire Processing we strongly recommend a free Wire Evaluation at our factory followed by a demonstration from a Carpenter representative to insure the ultimate success of your Wire Processing Application.

This operating manual explains how to operate the MODEL 14B. To ensure the best performance of your machine, read this manual carefully until you familiarize yourself thoroughly with its operation and features. After you have read through the manual, keep it available for reference. If you have any questions about this machine or service  please let us know. Our phone number is 315.682.9176, fax number 315.682.9160.

APPLICATION

The Model 14B is designed to strip Film Type Insulation from large gauge Round and Rectangular Wire using Fiberglass Stripping Wheels or Wire Brush Stripping Wheels.
The Model 14B may also be used with Nylon Brush Wheels for combing out braided or wrapped shielding on Coaxial Cable.

SAFETY GUARDING

The Model 14B comes equipped with Stripping Wheel and Drive Belt guarding. IMPORTANT DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DEFEAT THE FUNCTION OR PURPOSE  F THESE SAFETY GUARDS. SERIOUS INJURY TO THE OPERATOR’S EYES, FINGERS, OR OTHER BODY PARTS MAY RESULT FROM ATTEMPTS TO OPERATE THE MODEL 14B WITHOUT THE SAFETY GUARDS.

WHEEL ADJUSTMENTS

The Model 14B has a telescoping adjustment screw designed to maintain wheel pressure once it has been set. This allowsN the space between the wheels to be changed without disrupting the preset stripping wheel pressure. Proper wheel pressure along with correct spacing allows for optimum stripping results. Excessive pressure tends to clog the wheels, while too little pressure results in incomplete or slow stripping.

The two adjustments required for set up on the Model 14B are:

1. 1684 Adjusting Screw – This screw adjusts the distance between the Stripping Wheels. Turning the screw clockwise increases the spacing and counter-clockwise reduces it.

2. 1483 Thumb Nut – This nut adjusts the pressure on the Stripping Wheels as you insert the wire. Turning the nutN clockwise increases the pressure and counter-clockwise reduces it.

MACHINE SET UP

Turn the power switch off and unplug the machine from the power source. Turn

1684 Adjusting Screw clockwise to open up the distance between the stripping

wheels. Turn #1483 Thumb Nut counter-clockwise to reduce the spring pressure applied to the stripping wheels. Insert the wire to strip between the stripping wheels, turn #1684 Adjusting Screw counter-clockwise until the wheels firmly grip the wire. Once the adjustment is made withdraw the wire from between the stripping wheels. Plug the machine back into the power source and turn the switch on. Make a test strip. If the insulation has not been completely removed, adjust #1483 Thumb Nut clockwise to increase the stripping wheel pressure. NOTE: Excessive pressure may cause pre-mature wear of the stripping wheels. It may also make it difficult to hold onto the wire during the stripping process.

MACHINE OPERATION

Feed the wire straight in between the wheels slowly and withdraw. Rotate wire 90 degrees and repeat as required. You may also feed the wire into the wheels from the side and pull it toward you. Rotate wire 90 degrees and repeat as required. A #2998 Wheel Dresser has been provided for machines using Fiberglass Stripping Wheels. This is should be used periodically to clean the surface of the stripping wheels and maintain maximum stripping effectiveness. Use this in the same manner as you would to strip wire.

WHEEL CHANGE

1. Unplug machine from a power source.
2. Remove #1486 Wheel Cover.
3. Turn upper wheel nut clockwise and lower wheel nut counter-clockwise to remove.
4. Remove wheels.
5. Install new wheels and reverse the process.
