10、N 2812:2008 (E) 1 Scope This standard specifies the conditions for stripping and inspection of stripping tools and the stripped ends of electric cables for aerospace applications. Various stripping processes exist. The choice of a process depends upon the properties of the particular cables to be st
11、ripped and/or on the specific requirements for the end product to be achieved. The processes specified today in this document are: manual stripping; mechanical stripping; laser stripping; Thermal stripping. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the applicati

15、ular wire or cable standard is under the responsibility of the user. It is particularly important to know from which ASD Product Norm conductors are coming (for examples: EN 2083, EN 3719, EN 4434, EN 4651) for the mechanical stripping process. Availability of a common tool able to strip different g
16、auges or cable sizes is recommended. If tools are designed for particular applications, differentiation by colours is recommended. Size and weight of tools has to be appropriate for the envisaged use. 1) Published as ASD Prestandard at the date of publication of this standard. 3 Copyright ASD-STAN P

18、 use of this process must be strictly limited to insulations and jackets of the cables for which other methods are impractical. Nevertheless, with thermal stripping and the arrival of small laser machines, this manual practice must be progressively eliminated for aerospace use and stay permissible o
19、nly for small batches. 3.2.2 Application Manual stripping by scalpel, razor blade or other cutting tool is carried out on cables over 5 mm2cross-section, sheaths of shielded cables, fire-resistant cables and coaxial cables, unless another stripping process is specified. Mechanical stripping 3.3.1 Us
20、e This process is generally the most used in particular for single wires. Various power tools are also adapted to strip round cables, such as single wire screened jacketed and coaxial, and flat cables. The simplicity of manual pliers makes these tools ideal for work in the field. For illustration, s
21、ee Annex B (Informative). 3.3.2 Stripping with manual tools The blades of tools can have different profiles and dimensions. Various assembly shapes are now available. A blade can have several marked cavities of different sizes. When the tool is closed, the edges of the blades shall be in the same pl
22、ane and form a cutting circumference whose diameter is greater than the maximum diameter of the conductor of the cable to be stripped. Blades must be replaced as pairs. The manual stripping tools with V shaped cutting blades or shearing type blades are forbidden (see Figure 1 and Figure 2). Figure 1
23、 V shaped cutting blades Figure 2 Shearing type blades 3.3.3 Stripping with power tools These tools use blades with the same general characteristics as those defined in 3.3.2. 4 Copyright ASD-STAN Provided by IHS under license with AECMA Not for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitted without
24、license from IHS-,-,-prEN 2812:2008 (E) Particular care is necessary during the use of rotating blades, and their depth shall be adjustable to adapt the cutting diameter to the need. 3.4 3.5 4.1 Laser stripping 3.4.1 Use Laser wire stripping can be carried out on wires and cables of any gauge and on
25、 jackets. This process is particularly suitable for use in applications where damage of any sort to the conductor or the screen is unacceptable and when the external geometry of the cable to strip is incompatible with mechanical processes. For illustration, see Annex C (Informative). 3.4.2 Applicati
26、on Carbon Dioxide (CO2) lasers are normally used, but other laser types may be applicable for certain applications. Beam power shall be adjustable to be able to cut properly all various types of insulation and shapes. Thermal stripping 3.5.1 Use Thermal wire stripping can be carried out on wires and
27、 cables of any gauge and on jackets. This process is particularly suitable for use in applications where damage of any sort to the conductor or the screen is unacceptable, when the external geometry of the cable to strip is incompatible with mechanical process and when the size of tooling equipment
28、investment must be limited. This process may not be suitable for all types of insulation or in particular environmental conditions such as where flammable vapours may be present. For illustration, see Annex D (Informative). 3.5.2 Application Generally the tool is in two parts, a generator to control
29、 the required temperature and a hand unit. The hand unit can be equipped with various shape of blades. 4 Identification, inspection and calibration Manual stripping tools 4.1.1 Identification An identification number marked on the main body is recommended in order to facilitate the follow-up of the
30、inspection of the cutting blade. 4.1.2 Inspection The inspection of cutting area is carried out visually at regular intervals. The inspection shall be completed by inspection of samples of stripped cable ends, see 5.3.1. 5 Copyright ASD-STAN Provided by IHS under license with AECMA Not for ResaleNo
31、reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS-,-,-prEN 2812:2008 (E) 4.2 4.3 Mechanical stripping tools 4.2.1 Identification An identification number shall be permanently marked on the main body of the tool and on the blade. In addition, each stripping tool shall have an individual i
32、nspection sheet including: its identification number; date of first commissioning; dates of successive inspections; dates of rectification or repair; numbers of associated blades. 4.2.2 Inspection The inspection of blades is carried out with the aid of measuring gauges, shadowgraph, calipers or othe
33、r means permitting confirmation that the cavities are in accordance with the dimensions specified. The inspection shall be completed by checking the mechanical condition of the manual tool or power tool and by stripping tests, followed by inspection of samples of stripped cable ends, see 5.3.2. For
34、the routine inspection of production tools, the gauging of blades may be omitted, provided double stripping is used for the inspection of stripped cable ends. Stripping tools shall be inspected at least every 90 days. If a worn blade requires replacement, the complete blade assembly shall always be
35、replaced together. 4.2.3 Calibration Some particular tools, for coaxial cables for example, may require calibration to obtain the necessary diameter to strip. Laser stripping tools 4.3.1 Identification An identification number shall be permanently marked on the main body of the tool. In addition, ea
36、ch tool shall have an individual inspection sheet including: its identification number; date of first commissioning; dates of successive inspections; dates of rectification or repair; numbers of associated parts. 6 Copyright ASD-STAN Provided by IHS under license with AECMA Not for ResaleNo reproduc

38、ipped cable ends, see 5.3.3. Laser tools shall be inspected at least every 90 days. 4.3.3 Calibration Periodic laser power checks shall be made to ensure power levels remain within the limits as defined by the manufacturers specification. 4.4 5.1 General Thermal stripping tools 4.4.1 Identification

In addition, each stripping tool shall have an individual inspection sheet including: its identification number; date of first commissioning dates of successive inspections; dates of rectification or repair; numbers o
40、f associated parts 4.4.2 Inspection The inspection shall be completed by checking the general behaviour of the thermal tool according to the thermal tool manufacturer instructions and by stripping tests, followed by inspection of samples of stripped cable ends, see 5.3.4. Thermal tools shall be insp
41、ected at least every 90 days. 4.4.3 Calibration Periodic calibration checks of the tool shall be made to ensure power levels, and consequently temperature at the tip of the respective blade remain within the limits as defined by the manufacturers specification. 5 Qualification Wires and cables must
42、be strippable as normally defined in their technical specification or product standard. The test method generally used to assess this is EN 3475-701. The stripping operation must remove the insulator from the conductor over a length defined with tolerances, to allow correct connection of cables, wit
43、hout damaging the core strands or the screen or the insulator and without reducing the original performances of the cable as defined in its technical specification. The stripping length depends on the length required to connect the conductor into the end component. Each process must be applied by tr
44、ained operators. 7 Copyright ASD-STAN Provided by IHS under license with AECMA Not for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS-,-,-prEN 2812:2008 (E) For qualification to a wire and cable standard, there must be an agreement between the wire and cable manufacturer and
45、the qualifying authority on exact tool reference to use. The exact reference of this tool must be written in the associated test report. 5.2 Method 5.3 Requirements Qualification of a dedicated tool to strip a cable type will be performed by stripping of samples coming from at least two different ba
46、tches (ideally for manual stripping pliers used for single wires, batches shall have conductors not coming from the same conductor batch, and if possible one at the maximum conductor diameter and the other at the minimum). The inspection of stripped cable ends, for which the tool will be used, shall
47、 be carried out on 10 samples coming from the same manufacturing batch for each cable size. Five samples will have one stripping at each extremity and the other 5 samples a double stripping at each extremity. The first strip shall be made approx. 10 mm from end of the cable and the second strip appr
48、ox. 20 mm from end of cable. All slugs of insulation shall be cut cleanly, with no residual insulation remaining on the conductor (see Figure A.6). Using a 10 times magnification aid, the conductor of the cable shall be examined for damage, at the position of the first strip. 5.3.1 Manual stripping
49、As this process is of high risk to damage conductors or screen, particular care will have to be taken for the visual examination of possible defects mentioned in Annex A (Normative), see Table A. 5.3.2 Mechanical stripping The geometrical configuration of the blade assembly shall allow automatic centring of the cables with
