Morning Ken,
As Phil pointed out there are plenty of machines to choose from that will
stip the wire.  What I've used in the past are terminals that are crimped
onto the stripped wire.  The terminal has a locking lance that holds the
wire into the PCB, provides strain relief to the wire and allows solder to
flow to all 3 elements of the connection (PCB, terminal and wire).  There
are multiple sources for these types of terminals with one drawback --
tooling to perform the crimp.  If you contact me offline, I can provide some
additional information.

---------------------
I am looking for a machine which can strip the outer PVC sleeving at the
ends of
a wire, then form the stripped ends to such a shape that after it's inserted
into the pcb hole the wire will not lift up during wire handling and
wavesoldering.

Thanks,
KenF
