  • Patent number: 6736032
    Abstract: A wire stripper capable of automatically grasping a coated wire, cutting the coating with cutters, rotating the cutters and stripping the cut coating away with only one electric motor. The wire stripper is provided with a reversible main spindle which is supported on a machine frame and allowed to slide crosswise so as to enable gripping operation of the grippers as well as nipping and cutting operation of the cutters. The main spindle is provided with a lead-screw shaft with which a nut block is coupled so that the lead-screw shaft advances by forward rotation of the main spindle to close the grippers and the cutters as well as to rotate the cutters. The nut block is then moved backward by the lead screw of the lead-screw shaft after the main spindle has stopped advancing and the cutters are then withdrawn to strip the cut coating away from the core.
