Tool expertise
The most significant feature
of a professional tool:
It's fun to work with!
Good haptics and ergonomics, durability
and functionality guarantee high levels
of efficiency and quality. The features
are united in all the tools from Phoenix
Contact.
Crimping
Stripping
Cutting
CUTFOX cutting tools are characterized
by especially hardened blades for high
durability, increased force due to optimum
transmission of lever action and slip-free
dual-component handles.
The WIREFOX stripping tools facilitate
quick stripping by means of self-adjusting
blades. This avoids any damage to the
conductor. The ergonomic, light-weight
and glass-fiber-reinforced pliers guarantee
fatigue-free work.
The CRIMPFOX crimping pliers attain
optimum crimping results for all
connectors even for large conductor
cross-sections, with minimum forces.
Equipped with a pressure lock, the pliers
provide uniform high quality and gas-tight
crimping.

Cutting
The process chain starts with the trimming or cutting of conductor or line.
A correct processing of conductors and
lines of different size, shape and insulation
can be achieved permanently only with
quality tools. Low manual exertion of
force with maximum exploitation of force
in the cutting area is guaranteed by an
optimal transmission of lever action.
If conductors and lines are to be cut in
the upper cross-section range of up to
1400 mm
2
, the choice is limited to cable
cutters with ratchet drive. The finely
stepped down drives allow the manual
force required to be kept to a minimum
here too.
For both versions with direct and indirect
power transmission, the specifically designed
cutting edge geometries support smooth
running and ensure a right-angled and burr-
free cut. Accidental deformation of the
conductor is thus counteracted. The cutting
described above, also called shear cutting,
is listed under the generic term "splitting"
in DIN 8588. Two blades move towards
each other and thus cut (shear) the material
without burring.
Bite cutting means two successively moving,
wedge-shaped blades cut the material. The
wedge angle of the blades is deliberately
large and thus stable. In addition to the
hardening of the entire tool, the cutting
area is later on again hardened inductively
to 62 HRC. Only this way it is possible to
sever even extremely hard materials, e. g.
piano wire and spring steel with a tensile
strength of up to 2300 N/mm
2
without
damaging the tool. Bite cutting is suitable
to a limited extent for cutting through
cables and lines.
When used accordingly, the CUTFOX
cutting tools from Phoenix Contact
have long-term stability and achieve
permanently consistent results.

Stripping
Stripping is the next step in the manufacturing process of reliable
crimping. A distinction is made between stripping and dismantling.
Stripping is used both as a generic term
and to mean removing the insulation of
conductors up to 16 mm
2
. Dismantling
describes the stripping process for large
conductor cross-sections and multi-strand
and multilayered lines and cables.
A suitable stripping and dismantling tool
removes the insulation sections accurately
and quickly. The terminal point or the
connector determines the length of the
insulation to be removed. This is set
using adjustable limit stops and ensures
consistent stripping lengths.
When removing the insulation, make
sure that the individual inner wires or
the braided shield are not damaged. The
remaining insulation must not be damaged
by the grip pressure, whereby pressure
points and color changes on the insulation
material as a result are permitted. Further
faults that need to be prevented are
stipulated in DIN IEC 60352.
For processing special insulation materials,
suitable blade geometries depending on the
application are deployed. V blades are used
for both hard (e. g. Teflon/Radox
®
) and soft
ductile rubber insulations (silicone). The V
blades cut the insulation all the way round
unlike the straight blade geometry, thus
reducing the tear-off forces.
It is advisable to use automatic stripping
pliers of the WIREFOX pliers series
from Phoenix Contact to meet these
requirements.
