Abstract
A cable processing system comprises a stripping device for stripping a segment of an outer cladding layer of a cable. The stripping device includes a support frame, and a mounting plate movably mounted on the support frame between a start position and an end position in the axial direction of the cable. The mounting plate includes a first surface and a second surface opposite to each other in an axial direction of the cable. A plurality of cutting units are mounted on the first surface of the mounting plate for cutting off the outer cladding layer in a circumferential direction of the cable. A plurality of stripping units are mounted on the second surface of the mounting plate for slicing the outer cladding layer in the axial direction.
Claims20
A cable processing system comprising:
- a stripping device for stripping a segment of an outer cladding layer between two ends of a cable, including:
- a support frame;
- a mounting plate movably mounted on the support frame between a start position and an end position in the axial direction of the cable and having a first surface and a second surface opposite to each other in an axial direction of the cable;
- a plurality of cutting units mounted on the first surface of the mounting plate for cutting off the outer cladding layer in a circumferential direction of the cable, each of the cutting units including a first driver driving a first cutter to move in a radial direction of the cable, the first driver comprising a linear driving device having a fixed member attached to the mounting plate and a movable member movable relative to the fixed member along an axis extending in the radial direction of the cable;
- and
- a plurality of stripping units mounted on the second surface of the mounting plate for slicing the outer cladding layer in the axial direction.
