Abstract
A system for removing a foil shield from a cable comprises 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, and a sensor for detecting at least one characteristic of the cable.

A system for removing a foil shield from a cable, comprising:
- an induction coil adapted to inductively heat a cable;
- a cable feeding device adapted to selectively pass the cable through the induction coil, including:
- a first pair of rollers arranged on a first side of the induction coil;
- and
- a second pair of rollers arranged on a second side of the induction coil;
- a cutting blade assembly including at least two opposing cutting blades and adapted to selectively remove at least an outer insulation and a foil shield 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:
- measure a characteristic of at least one of the induction coil or the cable with the sensor;
- and
- in response to the measured characteristic, alter at least one of the operation of the induction coil, the relative position of the cable and the induction coil with the cable feeding device, or the operation of the cutting blade assembly.
