Meisei HOTWEEZERS & HOTNIFE Thermal Wire Strippers

The Meisei HOTWEEZERS and HOTNIFE series are industry-leading thermal wire strippers engineered for accuracy, consistency, and clean results when working with tough insulation materials. These high-performance thermal wire stripping tools are built specifically for applications where mechanical strippers fall short - especially when dealing with heat-resistant insulation like PTFE (Teflon), TEFZEL, Kapton, or silicone rubber.

Whether you’re operating in aerospace, medical device manufacturing, electronics assembly, or high-reliability prototyping, Meisei’s thermal wire stripping machines deliver minimal conductor damage and repeatable performance that meets the demands of modern wire prep environments.

Precision Thermal Wire Stripping with Meisei HOTWEEZERS

The Meisei HOTWEEZERS line features tweezer-style heated blades designed to remove insulation with pinpoint thermal control. These tools handle delicate wire gauges from AWG 36 to AWG 18, making them perfect for fine-strand conductors, micro coax, mil-spec harnesses, and ribbon cable prep. The blades are interchangeable and available in multiple profiles to match specific insulation types and thicknesses. Several models, including the Hotweezers M-10, are ESD-safe for use in static-sensitive environments.

Unlike mechanical wire strippers that can nick or stretch conductors, Meisei thermal wire stripper tools use carefully regulated heat to melt insulation away cleanly - maintaining wire integrity even on silver- or tin-plated strands.

Meisei HOTNIFE: Thermal Wire Cutting for Tough Jobs

For larger wires and specialty applications, the Meisei HOTNIFE delivers powerful cutting performance using a heated blade system. This tool excels at cutting through thick or braided insulation, fiber-reinforced sleeves, and high-durometer jackets without damaging underlying conductors. It’s especially effective in production environments where rapid cycling and precise temperature control are essential.

The HOTNIFE offers a level of control unmatched by mechanical cutters - ideal for high-density cable assemblies, large-diameter harnesses, or exotic materials found in aerospace and R&D applications.

Modular Compatibility with Meisei Power Supplies

Both the HOTWEEZERS and HOTNIFE tools integrate seamlessly with Meisei's M-10, M-20, and the latest M-30 Series thermal power supplies. These units offer fully adjustable heat output, quick response times, and compatibility with either tweezer- or blade-style handpieces. The new M-30 Series is Vetco’s latest addition - designed for international use and featuring advanced upgrades over earlier models. It's the most versatile thermal wire stripping tool solution Meisei has released to date.
