A coating removal device removing a coating of an optical fiber along an axial direction of the optical fiber includes a heating portion including a cutting blade making a cut in the coating of the optical fiber, and a heater heating a part of the coating that is closer to a tip thereof than the cutting blade; a main body portion including a control board electrically connected with the heater; a holding portion holding the optical fiber, the holding portion being provided on the opposite side to the heater with the cutting blade being located between the holding portion and the heater; and a slide mechanism allowing the holding portion to slidably move with respect to the heating portion such that the holding portion is distanced away from the heating portion in the axial direction. 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 handheld device for thermal cartridges which may include a wire stripping cartridge for stripping insulation from sections of an insulated electrical wire, or a thermal tweezer cartridge for de-soldering and removing electrical components, and more particularly a hand-operated electrically heated thermal devices with a replaceable cartridges.

A device and method for stripping a cable has at least one support roller arrangement and a work wheel arrangement. The end of the cable to be stripped can be clamped with the application of a pressure force between the work wheel arrangement and the support roller arrangement. The unit made up of the work wheel arrangement and the support roller arrangement can be driven to rotate around the cable and to roll off thereon.

A method for checking and verifying the correct stripping process on sections of a conducting wire covered by a layer of dielectric material, comprising the steps of: tagging the advancing wire with stripped sections, the tagging comprising acquiring information related to a position and/or a time at a predefined sampling rate; acquiring images of said wire by at least one video camera arranged proximal to and facing at least one face of the wire; associating the images acquired by the at least one video camera with a respective tagging information acquired for the same point on the wire; extracting features from the images acquired by the at least one video camera and comparing them with respective reference features to verify a correct dimension and/or relative position and/or absence of residues of dielectric material on the surface of each stripped section along the wire.
