CARPENTER MODEL 93 COMPU-STRIP
INTRODUCTION
Thank you for choosing Carpenter Mfg. Co. Inc. Wire Processing Equipment.
For over 50 years Carpenter has been a leader in
Wire Processing Technology and Service.
Our desire has always been to bring you reliable products.
We look forward to a long healthy relationship with you and our company.
The Model 93 can process a wide range of cables as referenced on the following page.
These stripping specifications are based upon the
most commonly manufactured cables.
Special applications may arise with cables that are
within the specification limits of the machine but are very difficult
or unsuccessful to strip.
Likewise, cables that exceed the specified limits
of the machine can sometimes be processed.
Because there are many variables involved in Wire Processing
we strongly recommend a free Wire Evaluation at our factory
followed by a demonstration from a Carpenter representative
to insure the ultimate success of your Wire Processing Application.
This operating manual explains how to operate
the Model 93 as well as some troubleshooting tips.
To ensure the best performance of your machine,
read this manual carefully until you familiarize yourself
thoroughly with its operation and features.
After you have read through the manual, keep it available for reference.
Use this manual as a quick and handy reference
tool for clarifying any questions that may arise.
If you have any questions about this
machine or service please let us know.
Our phone number is 315.682.9176, fax number 315.682.9160.
Carefully unpack the Carpenter Model 93.
We recommend that you keep the original box and packaging
as it will protect the machine for future transportation if necessary.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
SAFETY GUARDING
The Model 93 comes equipped with a LEXAN guard containing a safety interlock switch. The machine will not run unless
the guard is in the closed position **IMPORTANT** DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DEFEAT THE FUNCTION OR PURPOSE OF
THE SAFETY INTERLOCK SWITCH. SERIOUS INJURY TO THE OPERATORS EYES, FINGERS OR OTHER BODY
PARTS MAY RESULT FROM ATTEMPTS TO OPERATE THE MODEL 93 WITH THE SAFETY GUARD IN THE RAISED

SETUP
MACHINE SETUP
Plug female end of Power Cord into the Power Entry Module, located on the left side of machine. Plug the male end into a
proper electrical outlet. Turn on power switch.
INPUT GUIDE TUBE SELECTION
The Model 93 comes equipped with seven different Input Guide Tubes 1-7 (sizes are stamped on each guide).
An Input Guide Tube must be used in all cases. Select the guide tube with the smallest inside diameter that slips freely
over the outside diameter of the wire to be stripped. To change an Input Guide Tube simply loosen #8087 Thumb Screw.
After replacement make sure the Thumb Screw is securely tightened.
EXIT GUIDE SELECTION
The Model 93 comes equipped with seven different Exit Guides 1-7 (sizes are stamped on each guide). Select the
Exit Guide that is numbered the same as the Input Guide Tube selected above. Example: A #2 Input Guide Tube will use
a #2 Exit Guide. NOTE: The Exit Guide must be removed when processing wire in the Short Wire Mode (see Page 16).
To change an Exit Guide simply loosen #5459 Thumb Screw. After replacement make sure the Thumb Screw is securely
tightened.

LOADING WIRE
Open the Leading Strip and Trailing Strip Rollers far enough to allow the wire to pass through freely. Feed the wire
through the Wire Straightener, underneath the Out of Material Rod, through the Centering Rollers, through the
Leading Strip Rollers and just into the entrance of the Input Guide Tube. Adjust the Centering Rollers up to the
wire but not touching the wire. Adjust the Leading Strip Rollers until they make contact with the wire. Select LOAD WIRE
key and keep it pressed down until the wire is completely fed through the machine. Once the wire has exited, release the
switch. The LCD screen will display CHECK TRAILING STRIP ROLLER PRESSURE, THEN CLOSE GUARD AND
PRESS ENTER. Adjust the Trailing Strip Rollers until they make contact with the wire, close the Safety Guard and then
Press ENTER. This will cut the wire and feed the slug from the machine. The Model 93 is now ready to program and
process your wire.
PLEASE NOTE THE MODEL 93 IS PICTURED WITHOUT THE SAFETY GUARD FOR DEMONSTRATION PURPOSES ONLY.

automatically calculate the amount of insulation to be removed at each step to achieve
the overall programmed strip length.
IMPORTANT: Caution should be used when using the Step Strip feature as the more
steps used to remove the insulation, the more the wire is shuttled back and forth

added to the entered Blade Depth so that a clean strip can be obtained. IMPORTANT:
There is a big difference between “nicking” and “scrapping” the inner conductors of the
wire. Nicking is when the blades cut too deep into the insulation, and is observed right
at the shoulder of the stripped wire. Scraping is observed not at the shoulder of the
strip, but along the length of the inner conductor as the insulation slug is stripped from
the wire. Nicking is corrected using the Blade Strip Depth feature and scrapping is
corrected using the Step Back feature.

ROLLER PRESSURE
Roller pressure is adjusted by turning the knobs on the front of the machine labeled LEADING STRIP PRESSURE and
TRAILING STRIP PRESSURE. The goal is to achieve enough pressure to hold the wire and remove any insulation. Too
little pressure allows the wire to slip between the Feed Rollers. Slippage may cause incorrect “slug pull” dimension. Too
much pressure may result in wire not tracking straight through the machine. You may have to adjust the pressure a couple
of times to achieve the desired grip.

corrections are necessary then proceed to LENGTH CORRECTION.
LENGTH CORRECTION
The Model 93 has a Length Correct feature that allows the operator to make adjustments from the preprogrammed length
versus the actual sample length. Small variations are normal due to differences in material, tension, friction, wire diameter
etc. If the sample wire was not the correct length select the LENGTH CORRECT key for adjustments.

PLEASE ENTER Measure the length of the sample wire produced; enter this value for length.
MEASURED WIRE LENGTH Press ENTER. The Model 93 will automatically calculate the correction necessary.
The 0.00 next sample should be the exact length you programmed.
The possible range of correction is +/- 10% of the overall wire length. If a value outside of this range is entered an error
message will appear and display the acceptable range of values.
The length correct value may be changed multiple times but typically a single entry is all that is required if the sample wire
was measured accurately and the data entered correctly.
