Abstract
A device and method for stripping a cable has at least one support roller arrangement and a work wheel arrangement. The end of the cable to be stripped can be clamped with the application of a pressure force between the work wheel arrangement and the support roller arrangement. The unit made up of the work wheel arrangement and the support roller arrangement can be driven to rotate around the cable and to roll off thereon.
Claims21
A device for stripping a cable, the device comprising:
- a support roller arrangement;
- a work wheel arrangement, wherein the work wheel arrangement is displaceable relative to the support roller arrangement along a guide direction running transversely to and through an axis of rotation;
- wherein an end of the cable to be stripped can be clamped with an application of a pressure force between the work wheel arrangement and the support roller arrangement, wherein the pressure force is created by displacement of the work wheel arrangement relative to the support roller arrangement and acts along the guide direction;
- wherein a unit made up of the work wheel arrangement and the support roller arrangement is driven to rotate and to unroll around the cable;
- wherein the work wheel arrangement has a rolling wheel and a cutting wheel which roll off along a cutting region on the circumference of the cable;
- wherein the rolling wheel has a blunter edge geometry than the cutting wheel;
- and
- wherein a radially outer edge of the rolling wheel is arranged closer to an axis of rotation than a radially outer edge of the cutting wheel.

- clamping an end of the cable to be stripped with an application of a pressure force between a work wheel arrangement and a support roller arrangement, wherein the work wheel arrangement comprises a rolling wheel and a cutting wheel, and wherein the pressure force is created by displacement of the work wheel arrangement relative to the support roller arrangement in a guide direction running transversely to and through an axis of rotation;
- driving a unit made up of the work wheel arrangement and the support roller arrangement to rotate and unroll around the cable;
- wherein the rolling wheel and the cutting wheel roll off along a cutting region on the circumference of the cable;
- wherein the rolling wheel has a blunter edge geometry than the cutting wheel;
- and
- wherein the radially outer edge of the rolling wheel is arranged closer to an axis of rotation than the radially outer edge of the cutting wheel.
