Abstract:
The invention relates to an apparatus and method for removing a sheath layer from wire-like elements, in particular for stripping insulation from electrical or optical cables, in which, for minimizing the residual breaking surface of the sheath layer, the sheath layer is cut into at the same point at successive times with the aid of at least two pairs of V-blades (7, 7' and 8, 8') having at least two different cutting angles (α, β), one cutting angle (α) being in the form of an acute angle and the other cutting angle (β) in the form of an obtuse angle. Particularly with a choice of angles of about 120° and 60°, the result is a substantially smaller residual breaking surface than in the case of conventional 90° V-knives.
Abstract:
L'invention concerne un dispositif pour dénuder un câble, le dispositif comprenant au moins : - une chambre d'extraction (2) dont une extrémité distale est fermée par une flasque (7) comprenant une rainure (7), - un poussoir (8) monté mobile dans la chambre d'extraction entre une position de repos dans laquelle le poussoir s'étend au niveau d'une extrémité proximale de la chambre et une position déployée, le poussoir étant destiné à appuyer sur le câble pour le presser contre la rainure de la flasque.
Abstract:
An illustrative example conductor monitoring device includes a generator configured to radiate a field into a conductor. A detector is configured to detect at least some of the field propagated along the conductor. A processor is configured to determine when a change in the propagated field detected by the detector indicates contact between the conductor and a conductive blade of a wire processing machine. The example conductor monitoring device is capable of providing information regarding the condition of a conductor that has gone through a wire handling process that involves cutting the wire and stripping insulation from near the end of the cut wire, for example. The information regarding the condition of the wire is obtained without making contact with the wire and without interfering with or requiring any alteration of the wire handling process or machine.
