Stripping tool and method for stripping

A stripping tool for simultaneously stripping a cable having at least four conductors,

• the stripping tool comprising a first pair of stripping blades with a first stripping blade and a second stripping blade, the first stripping blade comprising two cutting edge halves and a first recess, and the second stripping blade comprising two cutting edge halves and a second recess, said two cutting edge halves of the first stripping blade and said two cutting edge halves of the second stripping blade joining to two separate cutting edges, the two separate cutting edges being designed and configured for cutting from different sides into insulations of two different conductors of the cable, and the stripping tool comprising a second pair of stripping blades with a third stripping blade and a fourth stripping blade, the third stripping blade comprising two cutting edge halves and a third recess, and the fourth stripping blade comprising two cutting edge halves and a fourth recess, said two cutting edge halves of the third stripping blade and said two cutting edge halves of the fourth stripping blade joining to two separate cutting edges, the two separate cutting edges being designed and configured for cutting from different sides into insulations of two different conductors of the cable differing from the two conductors simultaneously cut by the first pair of stripping blades,
• wherein the first stripping blade, the second stripping blade, the third stripping blade and the fourth stripping blade are coupled by a drive mechanism to a drive for being simultaneously moved by the drive over a working stroke of the stripping tool and
• the first stripping blade, the second stripping blade, the third stripping blade and the fourth stripping blade are guided by a tool head such that
• the first stripping blade and the second stripping blade move in a first plane relative to each other in a first closing direction and
• the third stripping blade and the fourth stripping blade move in a second plane relative to each other in a second closing direction, said first closing direction differing from said second closing direction.
