A continuous cable processing apparatus for producing cable sections with processed ends comprises a cable transport apparatus having at least one transport device for moving and holding the cable in the axial direction and, transversely thereto, a knife station. According to a special variant, two transport means are arranged in the longitudinal cable direction on both sides of the knife station and, after the cable has been cut through, each hold one of the cable end regions produced on cutting, so that the end regions are movable in the longitudinal cable direction. At least one of these end processing stations is arranged transversely with respect to the longitudinal cable direction, adjacent to the knife station and at least one transport device is movable transversely with respect to the longitudinal cable direction so that a cable end region can be fed to the end processing station.
A continuous cable insulation stripping apparatus with a transport path along which a cable may be transported, wherein said transport path is parallel to the longitudinal axis of a cable to be transported along said transport path, comprising at least an upper and a lower tool support, a plurality of stripping tools on each tool support, and positioners that independently relatively position the tool supports in a direction that is both perpendicular to a working direction of the tools and perpendicular to the parallel transport path, wherein said positioners position said upper and lower tool supports to more than two positions.
