Coating removal apparatus

Abstract

A coating removal apparatus includes a plurality of contact portions that are in surface contact with an outer circumferential surface of a coated electric wire having a circular cross section, the coated electric wire being formed with a notch in a circumferential direction on the outer circumferential surface, the contact portions being configured to sandwich the coated electric wire, and moving means configured to move the contact portions sandwiching the coated electric wire and the coated electric wire relative to each other in a longitudinal direction of the coated electric wire. The contact portions come into surface contact with an end side of the coated electric wire that is closer to an end of the coated electric wire than the notch, and are moved relatively to the end side in the longitudinal direction of the coated electric wire, so that a coating of the coated electric wire is stripped.
