Method and Device for Stripping a Cable, and System for Fabricating a Cable

A method for stripping a cable using a stripping assembly that includes (i) a rotary head configured to rotate about a central axis (M), (ii) a cutter, and (iii) a cable counter holder being disposed opposite one another and aligned toward the central axis (M) on the rotary head,

• the method comprising the steps of:
• introducing a cable along the central axis (M) into the stripping assembly;
• actuating the cutter onto the cable in a direction toward the central axis (M) so as to generate a radial incision in a cable component of the cable at a defined axial position;
• actuating at least one pull-off tool onto the cable in the direction toward the central axis (M) so as to engage in the radial incision generated by the cutter;
• and
• using the at least one pull-off tool to at least partially pull off a portion of the cable component from the cable.

A system for fabricating an electric cable, the system comprising:

• a) a cable-stripping device comprising a stripping assembly configured to cut into and pull off a portion of a cable component,
• wherein the stripping assembly includes a rotary head which is rotatable about a central axis (M) and on which a cutter and a cable counter-holder are disposed opposite one another so as to be aligned toward the central axis (M),
• wherein the electric cable in the stripping assembly is guided along the central axis (M),
• wherein the cutter is configured to be actuated onto the electric cable in the direction of the central axis (M) so as to generate a radial incision in the cable component at a defined axial position,
• wherein the stripping assembly further includes at least one pull-off tool which is disposed on the rotary head and in the direction of the central axis (M), the at least one pull-off tool configured to be actuated onto the electric cable, and
• wherein the at least one pull-off tool is positioned in such a manner in relation to the cutter that the at least one pull-off tool engages in the incision generated by the cutter to pull off the portion of the cable component;
• and
• b) at least one cable-fabricating device that fabricates the electric cable independent of the cable-striping device.
