Method for stripping part of a shielding foil of a sheathed cable and foil removing device for stripping part of a shielding foil of a sheathed cable from the sheathed cable at a predetermined breaking point

A method for stripping a part of a shielding foil of a sheathed cable, the method comprising the following steps:

• providing the sheathed cable with the shielding foil, whereby the shielding foil includes a predetermined breaking point formed therein that runs along a circumference of the shielding foil;
• bending of a partial area of the sheathed cable with the shielding foil in a first direction to apply a tearing tension at the predetermined breaking point thereby tearing the shielding foil at the predetermined breaking point on a part of the circumference of the shielding foil;
• moving a first part of the sheathed cable in an elliptical movement that circles about a longitudinal direction of the sheathed cable to apply a tearing stress across the circumference of the shielding foil whereby the shielding foil circumferentially tears the predetermined breaking point around the circumference of the shielding foil to strip a part of the shielding foil from the sheathed cable wherein the first part of the sheathed cable is not twisted in relation to a remainder of the sheathed cable during the elliptical movement;
• and
• removing from the sheathed cable the stripped part of the shielding foil.
