The main body portion, the heating portion and the holding portion are located in this order in the axial direction, and the heating portion includes a vibration notification portion giving information to an operator by vibrating.

A peeling device for a resin layer coating a rectangular wire in which an outer side of a metal conductor having a rectangular shape in cross section is coated with the resin layer, including a processing blade configured to peel off the resin layer, a jig configured to hold the rectangular wire, and a position detection means configured to detect a position of a cutting edge of the processing blade with respect to a surface of the metal conductor, in which the cutting edge of the processing blade is caused to penetrate into a predetermined thickness position of the resin layer, and the processing blade and the rectangular wire are relatively moved in a longitudinal direction of the rectangular wire without contact of the cutting edge with the metal conductor to perform treatment of peeling off the resin layer.

A simplified process for producing a shield layer-cut electric wire that does not damage an insulating layer and a core wire and when cutting a shield layer.

Techniques, systems and articles are described for preparing electrical cables for connections to a power grid. In one example, a system includes a cable preparation device configured to cut one or more layers of an electrical cable and a computing device configured to control the cable preparation device to cut the one or more layers of the electrical cable. The computing device may determine one or more target cutting distances and determine whether an actual cutting distance satisfies the target cutting distance. The computing device may detect defects in the electrical cable. The computing device may further determine whether the cable preparation device should be serviced.

A cable clamping device for widening a braided shield of a cable includes at least three clamping bodies that are arranged to form an equilateral polygonal passage for clamping the cable therein. The clamping bodies are slidable against each other to change the opening size of the passage.

A device for processingparticularly stripping insulation, cutting, contacting, fitting-out, connecting, measuring or checkinga cable that has at least one insulated electrical conductor includes a metal tool movable relative to the cable and a measuring device by which contact with the electrical conductor by the tool is detectable. The tool is connected with a first electrode body movable relative to a second electrode body so that through the two electrode bodies, which bodies are separated from one another by an air gap or an insulating material, a coupling capacitor is formed, by which the metal tool is or can be coupled to the measuring device, to an alternating voltage source or to an electrical potential.

A system for servicing cable includes a plurality of jaws operable between an open position for receiving a cable in a direction transverse to a cable axis such that the cable extends axially beyond the jaws in two directions, and a closed position for engaging and rotationally fixing the cable about the cable axis. A tool arrangement is disposed proximate to the base and includes at least one tool operable to perform work on the cable when the cable is engaged by the jaws. The tool arrangement is operable to perform at least one of a rotational movement around or an axial movement along the cable axis and to operate the tool.

A wire stripping machine includes a supporting frame; the supporting frame is provided with a first driving shaft and a second driving shaft; the distance between the first driving shaft and the second driving shaft enables a cable to pass through; the first driving shaft is provided with a number of straightening rings; a spacing between the straightening rings is not consistent; a wire inlet groove with a width and a non-uniform depth is arranged between the straightening rings; the second driving shaft sleeve is provided with a number of cutter and is arranged in the wire inlet groove and keeps the spacing of the cutting cable insulating layers from the wire inlet groove; a limiting ring is arranged between the cutter; and a lead plate is arranged on the supporting frame.

The system comprises a plurality of actuators, which are operable to receive instructions and coordinate an actuation sequence. The system comprises a clamping mechanism, including at least one of the plurality of actuators and at least one clamping block. The system comprises a cutting mechanism, which cuts an insulation layer of a multiple conductor cable and includes at least one cutting blade. The system may comprise a control system, which comprises a plurality of controllers, a non-transitory readable medium storing instructions. The control system may receive cable parameters of the multiple conductor cable, including cable diameter and conductor quantity. The control system may activate the clamping mechanism and cutting mechanism. The control system may cause the clamping mechanism to rotate about a pivot point. The control system may remove a section of insulation from the multiple conductor cable based on the rotation of the clamping mechanism.

An electric wire processing apparatus (1) includes: a clamp (3R) to grip and convey an electric wire (5); an upper tray (21) disposed under a movement path (51t) for a first end (51) of the electric wire (5); a nonconforming item tray (23) disposed under the movement path (51t) and laterally of the upper tray (21); a shared tray (24) disposed toward a second end (52) of the electric wire (5) relative to the upper tray (21) and the nonconforming item tray (23); a conforming/nonconforming determiner (14) to determine whether the electric wire (5) has been processed successfully; and a controller (9) to cause, upon determination by the conforming/nonconforming determiner (14) that the electric wire is a conforming item, the clamp (3R) to release its grip on the first end (51) of the electric wire (5) when the first end (51) is located over the upper tray (21), and to cause, upon determination by the conforming/nonconforming determiner (14) that the electric wire is a nonconforming item, the clamp (3R) to release its grip on the first end (51) of the electric wire (5) when the first end (51) is located over the nonconforming item tray (23).
