Wire Brushing Machines

Brushing removes what termination cannot tolerate: oxide, contamination, loose strands and plating debris on the conductor or the shield before a crimp or a weld is made. It is a preparation step, and skipping it produces joints that pass at first inspection and fail in the field — a welded splice made onto an oxidised surface starts with higher resistance than the same splice made onto clean copper. Machines on this page cover single-wire brushing and the crawler-type and separating machines used on shielding layers. The specification inputs are the wire or braid construction and the surface condition required, and brushing pressure is set so the conductor is cleaned without being reduced in section.
