Wire coating removal device and wire forming system

A wire coating removal device comprising:

• a wire feed path on which a wire is fed in a state of being linearly extended;
• a pair of first rotary tools that remove a coating of the wire while sandwiching the wire from a first direction at a first position on the wire feed path;
• a pair of first rotary drive mechanisms that separately rotationally drive the pair of first rotary tools;
• a pair of second rotary tools that remove the coating of the wire while sandwiching the wire, from a second direction intersecting the first direction, at a second position on the wire feed path;
• a pair of second rotary drive mechanisms that separately rotationally drive the second rotary tools;
• a first tool distance changing mechanism that makes the pair of first rotary tools approach or separates from each other in association with feeding of the wire;
• a second tool distance changing mechanism that makes the pair of second rotary tools approach or separates from each other in association with feeding of the wire;
• and
• a pair of slide bases each of which moves in parallel to a third direction that is perpendicular to a wire feed direction and that is oblique to the first direction and the second direction,
• wherein the pair of first rotary tools remove a part of the coating on a work target part that is dispersedly disposed in a longitudinal direction of the wire, and the pair of second rotary tools then remove a remainder of the coating on the work target part,
• wherein the first tool distance changing mechanism is configured with one of the first rotary drive mechanisms and one of the second rotary drive mechanisms being mounted on one of the slide bases, and the second tool distance changing mechanism is configured with another of the first rotary drive mechanisms and another of the second rotary drive mechanisms being mounted on another of the slide bases,
• when the pair of slide bases are moved in a first moving direction in which the pair of slide bases move in opposite directions to each other, the pair of first rotary tools approach each other in both the first direction and the second direction, and the pair of second rotary tools separate from each other in both the first direction and the second direction, and
• when the pair of slide bases are moved in a second moving direction opposite to the first moving direction in which the pair of slide bases move in opposite directions to each other, the pair of first rotary tools separate from each other in both the first direction and the second direction, and the pair of second rotary tools approach each other in both the first direction and the second direction.
