Abstract: A continuous cable processing apparatus for producing cable sections with processed ends comprises a cable transport apparatus having at least one transporter for moving and holding the cable in the axial direction and, transversely thereto, a processing station. According to a special variant, two transporters are arranged in the longitudinal cable direction on both sides of the processing 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 processing station and at least one transporter is movable transversely with respect to the longitudinal cable direction so that a cable end region can be fed to the end processing station.

Abstract: The invention relates to a novel insulation stripping head which can also be used in particular as a spare part for existing rotational insulation stripping apparatuses. It is particularly stable and simple to produce while at the same time providing the same or improved precision. It substantially has insulation stripping blades (3) and centering jaws (4) which can be swiveled in laterally and, during operation for insulation stripping, rotate together about the main axis (1).

Abstract: The invention relates to a processing device for cables or wires, which uses at least one unit for displacing a cable or wire (9), or micro-mechanical actuators for displacing a tool (5). This permits thinner cables or wires to be processed and produces a high degree of precision and excellent control.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a device for mechanically stripping the insulation of electrical and fiber-optic single- or multi-line conductors (26). The device comprises: an inlet opening for the conductor (26) or for a conductor end, a clamping device with at least one clamping jaw (6) and at least one knife (8) for cutting through an insulation around the conductor (26). An electric motor (25) drives a threaded spindle (21). This drives both clamping jaws (6) and knife (8) via couplings and control surfaces.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process and a device for measuring the length of a cable end, in particular in a cable stripping machine or the like, having clamping jaws and axially displaceable knife jaws and/or centering jaws on a sliding carriage with a controlled drive with the use of at least one contactless—in particular optical—sensor, which is moved under control along the cable in order exactly to detect the cable end. The cable is maintained in a relatively centered position but without force.

Abstract: The invention relates to a compact device in which a plurality of functions of the stripping process are automatically performed by a single drive (29) and coupled mechanisms. The main body (1) comprises a frame which supports connecting rods (28) at the front ends (27) of which is fastened a support element (10) for the change operations which is equipped either with a clamping head (3) or with an adapter (12) and serves for receiving an optical waveguide. Pivotable heating jaws (4) having control handles (51) are shown as well as stripping knife jaws (5) and a collar for adjusting the clamping force of the clamping jaws (36) which are held in the closed position by spring force and can be opened by a release lever (6) having a right-left coarse thread on a shaft (47) of the lever (6) for the introduction of an optical waveguide.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process and an apparatus for cutting through a cable sheathing of fibres, in particular Kevlar (Trademark) fibres. A cutting apparatus has several, preferably concentric, cutting zones along the circumference of the cable, for example defined by a cutting die and an anvil, the cutting die and anvil preferably having a lateral recess for lateral insertion of a cable, and being pressed and/or hammered against one another in such a way that the fibres which are held in between are cut. An air stream in a suction pipe ensures the positioning of the fibres between the cutting die and the anvil. The invention permits rapid and reliable cutting of sheathing fibres.

Abstract: The invention relates to a stripping apparatus for fibre-optical cables (31), having rotatable stripping knives (1033) and rigid centering jaws (1040) which, in the operating position, are arranged between the stripping knives and the end of the cable (31). The centering jaws (1040) are furthermore located in the immediate vicinity of the stripping knives (1033) and hold the cable (31) to be stripped, in such a way that any torques acting on the cable (31) are absorbed and twisting or breakage of the cable (31) is avoided. Furthermore, modifications of the stripping machines are described which disclose the lateral insertion of a cable (31) into the particular stripping position inside a stripping station (1,2,3) by means of a manipulator (35), a novel stripping station (3) for stripping coating layers for optical waveguides and a novel conductor stop apparatus (80) and a drive-saving arrangement of several stripping stations (1,2,3) on a carriage (912).

Abstract: A device for the mechanical stripping of at least two layers of electrical or optical cables has a stop for a fed-in conductor. The conductor is fixed in position by clamping jaws, whereupon its insulation can be severed by at least one rotating stripping blade. Disposed immediately next to each blade is a centering jaw, which centers the conductor. The jaw is radially movable relative to the blade so as to permit the penetration of the blade into the layer of insulation. The blades and the centering jaws are positioned axially and the desired cutting depth of each of at least two stripping operations is adjusted by spindles, each of which is operated by a motor which is controlled by a digital controller.

Abstract: The invention relates to an arrangement of a plurality of holding, centering or knife jaws (7, 18) for cutting and/or stripping apparatuses for rod-like or cable-like articles (22). The jaws (7, 18) are each displaceable or pivotable in a certain direction. The end points of a line (5) which, when the jaw (7, 18) is viewed, is turned to face the article (22) define a straight line (2). The angle between the particular direction of each jaw (7, 18) and this straight line (2) is less than 90 degrees. This results in constantly changing contact points for changing diameters of the articles (22), and distributed wear of the jaws (7, 18).

Abstract: A stripping device for wire, or the like: a spindle is freely rotatably mounted inside a housing; appropriate threaded connections between the spindle and the interior of the housing cause the spindle to rotate axially when the spindle is pulled; an insulating cutting knife is operatively connected with the spindle to rotate therewith; a passage leads past the cutting edge of the knife; the knife is pivotable out of the passage to permit the wire to be inserted into the passage and then the knife returns to the cutting position after insertion of the wire; pulling upon the wire pulls the spindle, causes the spindle to spin and rotates the knife around the insulation layer.
