A stripping system that includes a securement device including a receiver platform and an engagement platform sized to receive at least a portion of a large diameter cable having an outer jacket defining a thickness of at least 0.5 mm. The engagement platform translates relative to the receiver platform to secure the cable to the securement device. The system includes a cutting device including a receiver platform that includes a first cutting apparatus and an engagement platform that includes a second cutting apparatus. The receiver platform is sized to receive at least a portion of the cable. The engagement platform translates relative to the receiver platform to move the second cutting apparatus toward the first cutting apparatus to define a cutting interface that is sized to partially sever the outer jacket such that at least a portion of the 0.5 mm thickness of the outer jacket remains partially intact.

The method and apparatus comprise the following features: —forming coil members (21) by bending an electric conductor (20) externally coated with an outer insulation (20′); wherein the bending is made at predetermined lengths from a reference position (16′), and wherein each one of the coil members (21), when formed, comprises at least one head portion (21′) and leg portions (21″) extending from said at least one head portion (21′); —feeding the electric conductor (20) to accomplish the bending; —cutting the electric conductor (20) to detach a formed coil member (21) from said electric conductor (20); —inserting the leg portions (21″) of the coil members (21) into slots of the stator, so that parts of said leg portions (21″) extend from one end of the stator and the head portions (21′) extend from an opposite end of the stator; —arranging at least one laser beam (13′a, 13′b) to remove the insulation (20′) from predetermined areas (20a, 20b) of the electric conductor (20); —radiating the surface of the electric conductor (20) with said at least one laser beam (13′a, 13′b) situated at a predetermined position (IP, 2P) with respect to the reference position (16′) along the length of the electric conductor (20) being fed, and at a predetermined stage of the bending of a coil member (20).

Stripping pliers have two outer clamping jaws, two inner cutting jaws and two handle parts, wherein, in the course of pressing together the handle parts, the cutting jaws can be displaced from a starting position into an end position by a pull rod against the force of a spring acting on the pull rod. The pull rod is traversed by a pull pin which can move in a slot. In order to configure the stripping pliers such that they are further improved in a manner which is advantageous for handling, the pull rod has, at its handle-side end, a displacement part which is fastened to the pull rod and which is displaceable against the force of the spring relative to the pull rod, to free the pull rod from a handle-side mounting.

A pneumatic stripping tool is provided. A top end of a main base is connected with an upper gland through screws; a middle part of a top end of the upper gland is connected with a handle through screws; one end of the upper gland is connected with a pneumatic-wrench fixing seat gland through screws; a pneumatic wrench is connected between the handle and the pneumatic-wrench fixing seat gland; the outer side of one end of the pneumatic wrench is connected with a power wrench sleeve; mounting holes are formed in portions of the main base which are corresponding to the power wrench sleeve; the inner side of one end of the power wrench sleeve is connected with a bottom wheel; and the bottom wheel extends into an inside of the mounting hole.

A cable shaving tool including a blade holder having a guide channel extending along the blade holder length. The guide channel includes a cable channel, and a control surface at opposing ends. A removable blade is secured to a blade support surface and the blade edge extends within the guide channel. The blade support and handle are disposed along a central axis. The shaving depth is determined by the differential between: (1) the distance from the cable channel to the bottom surface of the blade holder; and (2) the distance from the control surface to the bottom surface of the blade holder. The handle is secured to the blade holder and extends along the central axis, allowing an operator's hand to be positioned directly over the blade during a cut, apply a downward pressure on the cable to set the blade and then move the tool in a direction parallel to the cable length.

An apparatus for cable stripping and preparation. The apparatus includes a first drive mechanism and a second drive mechanism which is spaced from and in line with the first drive mechanism. Blade control arms with insulation cutting blades are movably mounted relative to the first drive mechanism and the second drive mechanism. The first drive mechanism moves the insulation cutting blades from a first position to a second position. The second drive mechanism rotates the insulation cutting blades when the insulation cutting blades are in the second position.

A cable core wire orientation adjustment system includes a cable rotation module adjusting two core wires of a cable exposed from an end of the cable to a predetermined orientation by rotating the end of the cable. The cable core wire orientation adjustment system can automatically adjust the orientation of the two exposed core wires at the end of the cable, improving the orientation adjustment efficiency of the cable core wires.

Techniques, systems and articles are described for preparing electrical cables for connections to a power grid. In one example, a cable-preparation system includes a tool-head mount configured to couple to a cutting-tool head, wherein the cutting-tool head is configured to receive a first portion of an electrical cable and comprises a plurality of rollers and at least one rotatable cutting tool configured to cut at least one layer of the electrical cable; a cable clamp configured to retain a second portion of the electrical cable; and a guide rail extending from the tool-head mount to the cable clamp parallel to a longitudinal axis of the electrical cable, wherein the guide rail guides an axial movement of the cutting-tool head along the electrical cable as the cutting-tool head cuts the one or more layers of the electrical cable.

A shield foil removing device includes an opening and closing chuck configured to accommodate two wire cores surrounded by a shield foil in a space having a rectangular cross section orthogonal to an electric wire longitudinal direction, which is formed by closing, in such a direction that a longitudinal direction of the rectangular space and an arrangement direction of the two wire cores in a cross section coincide with each other, compresses the shield foil in a direction orthogonal to an arrangement direction of the two wire cores by reducing the rectangular space by a closing operation, and brings the shield foil into close contact with outer peripheral surfaces of the two wire cores to secure a gap continuous in a longitudinal direction of the shielded electric wire between both of outer peripheral curved surfaces adjacent to each other of the two wire cores and the shield foil.
