Abstract
Equipment for stripping a multi-core cable, includes a transport unit for axial movement of the cable, knives for desheathing and stripping the insulation from the cores, and a separator for untwisting the cores and orienting them parallel for acting upon by the stripping knife in a manner that axial forces are not applied to the insulator of the cores. Greater control over and precision associated with the stripping process is obtained.
Claims7
Equipment for stripping a twisted multi-core cable, comprising a transport unit for transport of the cable in the axial direction of the cable;
- a knife for desheathing the cable and a knife for stripping insulation from cable cores of the cable;
- and means for untwisting and orienting the cable cores parallel to each other without forces acting in a cable axial direction on the insulation of the cable cores for acting upon by said knife for stripping, said means comprising upper and lower freely rotatable rollers for engaging and contacting the cable cores.
A method for stripping an insulated multi-core cable having a cable sheath and twisted cable cores with insulation which can be advanced and drawn back in a cable axial direction by means of a transport unit, wherein one knife removes the cable sheath and a further knife removes the insulation of the cable cores, comprising the step of performing an untwisting of the cable cores by upper and lower freely rotatable rollers engaging and contacting the cable cores without forces acting on the insulation of the cable cores in the cable axial direction.
