Overview
The
Major 5001 Electric Wire Stripper is a compact bench top wire stripping machine built for precision and easy operation. Instead of using a rotary stripping method, the 5001 uses a unique cutting head with 4 cutting blades to deliver clean, accurate stripping on small jacketed wires, including difficult insulation materials like Teflon.30–14 AWG120VAC17 lbs
Designed for stripping wire ends up to
.400", this electric wire stripper is ideal for connector assembly, crimp terminal preparation, electronics production, wire harness work, and small-to-medium production benches.
💡 Precision Stripping Without Blade Changes
Simple Adjustment: Change wire sizes using a knob instead of swapping cutting blades.
Clean Results: Sensitive wire sensor helps strip small and flexible wires to the proper length.
Low Maintenance: Fewer moving parts helps reduce downtime and repair costs.
Key Features
- Strips single conductor wires for connector or crimp terminal termination
- Handles multiple insulation types including rubber, Kapton, PUR, PVC, Teflon, and Tefzel
- Complete or partial jacket removal for flexible processing needs
- Compact bench top footprint: only 15" long x 7.75" wide x 7.75" high
- 120VAC plug-and-play operation for standard shop power
- Lightweight 17 lb design makes it easy to move between workstations
- Easy 3-step setup: plug in, set wire gauge, set strip length
✅ Why Choose the 5001 Wire Stripper?
The 5001 combines
German-made precision with a mechanical design that has proven itself in production environments for decades. It is built for users who need reliable, repeatable wire stripping without the complexity of computer-controlled machines.
Applications
The Major 5001 electric bench top wire stripper is ideal for production and maintenance environments that need clean, consistent wire end preparation:
- Connector assembly
- Crimp terminal termination
- Wire harness production
- Aerospace and electronics manufacturing
- Control panel and automation wiring
- Small flexible wire stripping
Operation Notes
- Plug in the machine using standard 120VAC power
- Set the wire gauge with the adjustment knob
- Set the strip length for the required termination
- Insert wire into the sensor area to trigger the stripping cycle
⚠️ Maintenance Info
Apply light machine oil during monthly inspections. More frequent lubrication may be required for high-volume or 3-shift operation.
The internal nylon cams are the main wear parts and can be replaced by an internal maintenance or repair team.
Performance Benefits
- Reduces hand stripping fatigue and inconsistency
- Improves repeatability for small gauge wire processing
- Supports difficult insulation materials like Teflon and Tefzel
- Minimizes downtime with a rugged, low-maintenance design
- Easy to move between workstations as production needs change
🏭 Proven Industrial Reliability
The 5001 has been available for over 35 years and is supported with parts for U.S.-sold machines. Major Electronix customers have used these machines for decades in demanding production environments.
