Series 4 Ltd | Wire Processing Machinery

HOTweezers  represent the state of the art in the design and construction of thermal wire strippers.

Hotweezers thermal wire strippers weigh less than 57g including cable and connector, making it an ideal hand-held solution with smooth and efficient operation. The heater filaments are completely sealed in the stripping head of a Hotweezers thermal wire stripper device enhancing its performance consistently.

Advantages of using HOTweezers:

1. The filament is resistant to oxidation.

2. The stripping head will not distort nor lose alignment as is the case with ordinary hot wire strippers.

3. Since the filaments are enclosed, a greater portion of the heat generated is retained to do useful work. Consequently the power supply can be much smaller than usual, and the current consumption is drastically reduced. The M-10 power supply consumes a mere 20 watts at the highest temperature setting.

4. Wire holes can be ground into the stripping head without damage to the filaments. With wire holes, the rotation of the stripper required to accomplish a strip is reduced from 180o to 15o and mashing of conductors, especially the finer gauges, is completely eliminated.

5. Because the filaments are an integral part of the stripper body, no maintenance is required.

Three different models of the HOTweezers are available to satisfy most stripping requirements. For precise insulation removal Models 4A and 4B have stripping holes to yield a clean, even strip free of insulation "tails" and to prevent mashing of the conductor strands. Model 4C is designed for use on cable jackets and larger diameter conductors. Maximum cable or conductor O.D. that can be stripped is 0.25 inch (6.35 mm) and maximum insulation wall thickness is .05 inch (1.27 mm). For stripping requirements that exceed these dimensions the HOTnife can be used. All models have the new strip length gauge so that repetitive stripping operations can be done accurately. The gauge is easy to adjust without a screwdriver or special tools. The standard power cord for all three models is a flexible, lightweight cable with a high temperature silicone rubber jacket that resists burns.

As distributors of electric and air screwdrivers from Sumake, we are able to offer a complete range of designs suiting many assembly requirements. To complement our electric and air screwdrivers, we offer many accessories including:

• Torque arms
• Spring balances
• Torque testing meters
• Screw dispensers

We now offer many choices in electric screwdrivers, with a range of models featuirng a brushless motor for improved durability or a further range with external motor brushes for ease of maintenance.  Both of these options feature models in a variety of sizes according to your torque requirements with the smaller models offering a torque of 0.02 Nm up to larger models at 5Nm. These are availbale as push to start or lever start with various speed options and features such as built in screw counter etc.  We also now offer cordless electric screwdrivers and another range with vacuum pick-up.

This wide choice is also reflected in our Air range, again withpush to start or lever operated models available and also an angled head for applications where access is difficult.  We are pruod to announce that we have also introduced a new oil free air screwdrivers, again available in various torque sizes from 0.22Nm to 28 Nm.  The oil free range offers a screwdriver with less noise, a reduced counter force, energy saving due to reduced air consumption and a high qualtiy motor.  It meets ISO5393 & VDI-2647 standards.

At Series 4, we boast the CB3000 motorised wire preefeeder with advanced pre-feeding and de-reeling capabilities. To enhance our motorised wire prefeeder range, we pride ourselves with the new Electric Floor Mounted Pre-feeder, designed and manufactured in-house with excellent performance abilities.

Our Evo-Cut cut to length machine range, demonstrates abilities for numerous materials including large and small wires and tubing. Enhanced with very simple programming, the Evo-Cut cut to length machine boasts an electrically operated guillotine type unit and offers accuracy, reliability and excellent value for money.

Manufactured at our site here in Southampton, UK.

Series 4 offer a wide choice of component forming and counting machines suitable for axial, radial and SMD components.  Basic models within the range cut and bend axial or radial components whilst more sophisticated machines are available to form your components within an automated motorised system. 

Basic Models inlcude:

• TP6/ Cut and bend machine - 5 different versions are available for different cutting and bending specifications
• TP6/R - Radial cutting machine
• TP6/V-PR - Cut, bend and joggle, vertical stand off
• TP6/V - Cut, bend vertical stand off
• TP6/PR-B - Axial forming
• TP6/S - Cut, bend axial to surface mount format
• TP6/PR-F - Cut, bend and joggle
• TP/LN100 or TP/LN500 - Pneumatic cutter for loose radial components
• TP/TC4 - Motorised cutter for loose or taped radial components
• TP6/R-PR - Pneumatic cutter and former for taped radial components

Accessories are available inlcuding motor units, loose piece feeder systems, reel holders and waste ejection systems.

Component Counting:

The County Counter is a small manually operated component counter for standard components, however,  accessories are also available to adapt the counter to be suitable for SMD components - this is a great low cost option.

The County S is a motorised unit (see image) specifically for the rapid and accurate counting of SMD components. 

We can offer an excellent range of wire stripping machines all designed to perform to the highest standards for small and larger cables. Our range of wire stripping machines includes the following:

• DPF1000 - Strip and twsit machine for wire up to 5.2 mm outer diameter
• FE-400 Strip Box - precision stripping for wire up to 4.2mm outer diameter
• Carpenter machines - for single wires and coax
• Lever Outer Jacket Stripper - CS2000 - removing outer insulation up to 30.5mm OD
• Simplomat Pneumatic Outer Jacket stripper - suitable for very large heavy duty cables up to 34mm OD with a 1000mm long strip
• MultiCore Stripper - the Model D2, a unique hand operated machine able to strip the outer jacket and inner cores in one simple operation
• Various Coax Stripping Machines - often excellent second user machines are available e.g. Schleuniger 207, MP257
• Collection of Hand Tools for wire stripping

We offer a range of second user wire stripping machines to suit all applications and budgets.  All serviced and checked prior to sale with full after sales servicing available.

We can offer our customers a diverse range of wire cutting machinery, occasionally hosting second user wire cutting machinery at cost-effective prices. We have models suitable for small equipment wire, flat materials and tubing up to larger cables.

Within our range we can supply the following models:
