Company Overview
Carpenter Mfg. Co., Inc. is a third-generation, independently-owned company based in Manlius, NY, USA, with over 70 years of experience in designing and manufacturing benchtop wire processing equipment. Established in 1955, the company has evolved from simple magnet wire strippers to fully automated measure, cut, and strip machines. Their mission is to provide customers with powerful and long-lasting equipment, supported by outstanding service and global sales representation.
Advanced Wire Processing Solutions
Carpenter offers a comprehensive line of wire and jacket stripping and cutting machines designed for various materials, including coaxial cable, hookup wire, multi-conductor cable, ribbon cable, and magnet wire. Their product range includes the Compu-Cut® automatic material cutters, such as the Model 360, which offers clean, square cuts on round and flat materials up to 1.000' (25.4mm) diameter or 0.05'–9,999.99' length, featuring modular cutting heads and user-friendly software. The Compu-Strip® series, including Models 930 and 970, provides fully programmable measure, cut, and strip capabilities, handling stranded wire from 8 to 32 AWG, flat cable up to 0.437' width, and multi-conductor cable up to .355' OD. Rotary strippers like the Model 72D and 74F, and pneumatic strippers such as the Model 78A, cater to diverse stripping requirements, from larger cables to delicate insulations, with precise adjustments for wire diameter and strip length.
Ancillary Equipment and Components
Beyond cutting and stripping, Carpenter provides essential ancillary equipment to optimize wire processing workflows. This includes a range of wire prefeeds and dereelers, like the Model 57 benchtop and Model 59 floor stand units, designed to ensure a constant and undisturbed material supply. The company also manufactures material coiling units (Models 850, 860, 870) for neatly coiling long lengths of flexible wire, cable, and tubing. For termination, the Model 62A Accu-Crimp® offers portable pneumatic terminal crimping for various cable types, and the Model 64 provides ferrule crimping for 24-10 AWG wires. Additionally, Carpenter produces specialized fiberglass stripping wheels, including TWINCONE®, SureStrip, and Barrel designs, for efficiently removing film insulation from magnet wire and coils. The Model 25F wire twister restores twists to stripped stranded conductors from 13 to 24 AWG.
