Cable terminal processing apparatus

A cable terminal processing apparatus that peels a coating around a core wire in a terminal portion of a cable and performs trimming cut on a tip end of the core wire after coating peeling, the cable terminal processing apparatus comprising:

• a rotation shaft that has, at a front end thereof, a rotary head rotatable about a rotation axis;
• a rotation drive mechanism that drives the rotary head to rotate;
• a cable holding mechanism that holds and fixes, in front of the rotary head, the terminal portion of the cable in a state of being aligned with a rotation axis of the rotation shaft and in a posture in which a tip end thereof is oriented toward a rear side of the rotary head;
• a peeling cutter that is mounted on the rotary head so as to be displaceable in a radial direction of the rotary head and causes a blade edge thereof to cut into a coating of the terminal portion of the cable held by the cable holding mechanism by being displaced inward in the radial direction;
• and a cutting cutter that is mounted on the rotary head so as to be displaceable in the radial direction of the rotary head, is disposed closer to a base end side of the cable than the peeling cutter, and performs trimming cut on the tip end of the core wire after coating peeling by being displaced inward in the radial direction;
• a cutter opening and closing mechanism that opens the peeling cutter and the cutting cutter outward in the radial direction and closes the peeling cutter and the cutting cutter inward in the radial direction, in a state where the rotary head is rotating;
• and
• an axial direction moving mechanism that has a function of moving the rotary head and the cable holding mechanism relative to each other in an axial direction of the rotation shaft, positions a blade edge of the peeling cutter and the cutting cutter in the axial direction with respect to the cable by moving and stopping, and peels the coating on a tip end side by moving the rotary head and the cable holding mechanism in a direction away from each other in a state where the blade edge of the peeling cutter is cut into the coating of the terminal portion of the cable.
