Abstract
A method of removing a foil shield from a cable includes positioning the cable proximate a heating source, monitoring a characteristic of the cable or the heating source with at least one sensor, heating the foil shield in a designated area to weaken the foil shield, and removing an outer insulation of the cable and the foil shield.
Claims20
A method of removing a foil shield from a cable, the method comprising:
- positioning the cable proximate an induction heating source;
- heating the foil shield in a designated area to weaken the foil shield;
- removing an outer insulation of the cable;
- and
- removing the foil shield.
2 more elements
A system for removing a foil shield from a cable, comprising:
- an induction coil for inductively heating the foil shield of the cable;
- a cable feeding device for selectively passing the cable through the induction coil;
- a cutting blade for selectively removing at least a portion of the cable;
- a sensor for detecting at least one characteristic of the cable;
- and
- a processor operative with a memory device and adapted to:
- with the sensor, measure a characteristic of at least one of the induction coil or the cable;
- and
- alter at least one of the operation of the induction coil, the relative position of the cable and the induction coil, or the cutting blade in response to the measured characteristic.
