The electrical cutting of stranded steel wire, steel cord or steel cables is carried out by means of special cutting machines or parting guns or combined parting and welding machines (flash, welding, annealing).
The cutting takes place electrically whereby the end of the material forms a solid bulge which integrates all the individual strands.
Clamping jaws with round profiled clamping grooves adapted to the outer diameter of the cable are used.
