Afmantlingsværktøj

Afmantlingsværktøj, a Danish term, translates to "stripping tool" or "cable stripper" in English. This refers to a specialized tool designed for the removal of outer insulation or sheathing from electrical cables, wires, and sometimes other types of cords. The primary function of afmantlingsværktøj is to expose the inner conductors of a cable without damaging them, which is a crucial step in electrical installation, repair, and manufacturing processes.

Different types of afmantlingsværktøj exist to cater to various cable sizes, insulation materials, and stripping techniques. Common designs include manual tools with adjustable blades that can be set to the depth of the insulation, preventing nicks in the conductors. Automatic cable strippers, often powered by electricity or compressed air, are used for high-volume applications and can strip multiple wires rapidly. Specialized versions are available for coaxial cables, data cables like Ethernet, and thicker power cables, each requiring a specific approach to cutting and removing the protective layers. The accurate and safe use of afmantlingsværktøj is essential to ensure proper electrical connections and to prevent short circuits or other electrical hazards.
