Wire Processing

You are here: / Wire Processing

AOP Technologies designs and manufactures the STRIP-PRO and CRIMP-PRO lines of pneumatic wire strippers and crimpers—precision tools built for aerospace, commercial, and industrial wire-processing applications.

The wire processing product line came to AOP through the 2021 acquisition of Western Industrial Products, adding manufacturing capabilities that complement our contract manufacturing and value-added services. If you need wire-processing equipment, replacement blades, or a contract manufacturing partner who can integrate wire processing into your assembly workflow, AOP will handle it all.

Wire Strippers

Our STRIP-PRO line is engineered for precision and repeatability. Self-aligning blades deliver consistent, reliable strips across production runs.

Ergonomic design minimizes repetitive motion. All models are pneumatically operated.

Specialty insulation materials supported: Kapton®, Kynar®, Teflon®, and Tefzel®. Commercial insulation types include fiber optic, multi-conductor, flat, shielded, and fiberglass.

Frequently Asked Questions

What markets do STRIP-PRO and CRIMP-PRO tools serve?

The product line is designed for aerospace (including Mil Spec and SAE AS applications), commercial, and industrial wire processing. AOP also serves medical device manufacturers through our contract manufacturing operation, where wire processing is integrated into larger assembly workflows.

What insulation materials do the strippers support?

Standard support includes Kapton®, Kynar®, Teflon®, and Tefzel® for aerospace applications. Commercial options include fiber-optic, multi-conductor, flat, shielded, and fiberglass-insulated cables. Custom blade configurations are available for non-standard insulation types.

Can I order custom blades?

Yes. Custom blades are available for the entire line of Strip-Pro tools, including non-standard insulation types, custom circumferential grippers, and wire guides. Contact us with your specifications.

Does AOP offer contract manufacturing that includes wire processing?

Yes. Wire processing can be integrated into contract manufacturing and assembly services at our Auburn, WA facility. If your project requires stripping and crimping as part of a broader assembly, our team can handle the full scope.

What is the warranty?

All STRIP-PRO and CRIMP-PRO tools carry a one-year limited warranty.
