Schleuniger, Inc. to Demonstrate Latest in Wire Processing at the IPC APEX Expo 2020 Schleuniger, Inc., a leading international manufacturer of high-precision wire processing machines, will demonstrate select equipment from its comprehensive line of wire processing products at the 2020 IPC APEX EXPO, the largest electronics assembly exhibition in North America. The exhibition will be held at the San Diego Convention Center in San Diego, CA on February 4-6, 2020 and will include over 450 of the industry’s top suppliers in the electronics manufacturing industry. Schleuniger will be at booth #3213 providing hands- on demonstrations of innovative wire processing solutions. For the first time at the APEX Expo, Schleuniger will demonstrate the MultiStrip 9480 cut and strip machine with SmartDetect, our highly innovative quality monitoring option. This sensor-controlled system monitors the complete stripping process and detects any contact between the stripping blade and the conductor ensuring 100% quality with no nicks, cuts or missing strands. 6 WIRE NEWS ● JANUARY 2020 Also on display will be Schleuniger‘s latest generation of benchtop coaxial cable stripping machines, the CoaxStrip 6380 and CoaxStrip 6580. With a 20 percent increase in production output, this new family of programmable, multi-step rotary strippers allows for precise stripping of coaxial, triaxial and multi-conductor cable, as well as single conductor wire. Additional features include “Cable End Detection” for higher strip length precision, “Cable Diameter Verification” for quality assurance, an “Automatic Cable Retraction Function” for easier processing of long strip lengths, and new stripping head designs to ensure that even very thin, hard-molded or slightly out-of-round insulations can be stripped. This exciting new generation of coaxial cable stripping machines offers higher productivity and lower operating costs. Attendees will have the opportunity to experience hands-on demonstrations of the Mercury-4 laser wire stripping
