Device and use of the device for stripping a cable

A device for stripping a cable having an outer protective sheath, the device having a support roller arrangement and a work wheel arrangement, the support roller arrangement being arranged on a rotation base rotatable about an axis of rotation and the work wheel arrangement being arranged on a work wheel guide, the rotation base and the work wheel guide being connected to one another via at least one guide and the work wheel guide being displaceable relative to the rotation base in a guide direction running transversely to the axis of rotation, wherein the support roller arrangement comprises at least two support rollers each mounted on the rotation base so as to be rotatable about a support roller axis and the work wheel arrangement comprises a rolling wheel mounted on the work wheel guide so as to be rotatable about a rolling wheel axis and wherein a clamping region is formed around the axis of rotation and between the at least two support rollers and the rolling wheel, which clamping region can, by displacing the work wheel guide in the guide direction relative to the rotation base, be enlarged and reduced depending on the displacement direction, wherein a plurality of perforation elements are arranged on the rolling wheel on a radially outer rolling contour such that they are distributed over the circumference, which perforation elements protrude radially by a length from the rolling contour.
