A cable processing system comprises a stripping device for stripping a segment of an outer cladding layer of a cable. The stripping device includes a support frame, and a mounting plate movably mounted on the support frame between a start position and an end position in the axial direction of the cable. The mounting plate includes a first surface and a second surface opposite to each other in an axial direction of the cable. A plurality of cutting units are mounted on the first surface of the mounting plate for cutting off the outer cladding layer in a circumferential direction of the cable. A plurality of stripping units are mounted on the second surface of the mounting plate for slicing the outer cladding layer in the axial direction.

A wire stripping die is configured to be coupled to a crimping tool. The stripping die includes a die body, a first ridge, and a second ridge. The die body includes a first side, a second side, and a groove extending at least partially between the first side and the second side. The groove extends along an axis. The first ridge protrudes from a surface of the groove toward the axis by a first distance. The first ridge extends along at least a portion of the perimeter of the groove and extends at least partially around the axis. The second ridge protrudes from the surface of the groove toward the axis, and the second ridge extends parallel to the axis along at least a portion of the groove.

An assembly for covering at least a portion of a connector portion and at least a portion of a cable includes: a temperature sensitive portion; and a cord portion. The temperature sensitive portion is configured to have a pre-shrink length prior to being heated and a post-shrink length after being heated; wherein the post-shrink length is smaller than the pre-shrink length; the cord portion is configured to have a length after the temperature sensitive portion is heated that is greater than the post-shrink length of the temperature sensitive portion; and a difference between the post-shrink length of the temperature sensitive portion and the length of the cord portion after the heating permits a user to remove the temperature sensitive portion from a connector portion and a cable without using a sharp tool and thereby avoid cutting the connector portion or the cable when removing the temperature sensitive portion.

An object is to provide a wire straightening device and a wire straightening method, with which it is possible to automatically set the roller spacing in accordance with the type of the wire and to further adjust the roller spacing during operation. A wire straightening device (20) includes a preset value obtaining device that obtains a preset value of roller spacing, which is predetermined for each type of wire (2); a roller spacing automatic setting device that drives an actuator (26a) so that the roller spacing becomes equal to the preset value when the type of the wire (2) is input; and a roller spacing changing device that changes the roller spacing based on an operation by the operator while retaining the preset value during operation of a wire processing device (1).

A cable jacket removal device is used to selectively remove a sheath from a length of a sheathed cable. The cable jacket removal device includes a support frame, a drive shaft, and a motor. The support frame removably couples the removal device to the cable to be stripped. The drive shaft is coupled to the support frame. The motor is coupled to the drive shaft to selectively rotate the drive shaft to cause the removal device to travel along the cable to automatically remove a cable jacket from a predefined distance of the cable.

A hand-actuatable plier tool for processing cables has a plier head for handling or processing a workpiece such as a cable, two plier handles that can be pivoted relative to one another between an open position and a closed position, an electronic monitoring unit detachably arranged on a first of the plier handles and with which at least the number of handling or processing procedures can be counted and stored. The monitoring unit has an electronic circuit and a signal transmitter emitting actuation signals to the electronic circuit when the plier tool is actuated. The signal transmitter has an energy harvesting module for supplying energy to the monitoring unit and an actuation mechanism activating the signal transmitter.

The invention relates to a method for processing an electrical cable (2), according to which a braided cable shield (6) of the cable (2), which is exposed along a longitudinal axis (L) of the cable (2) from a cable end (5) which is to be processed to a first stripping position (P.sub.A1), is, by means of brushing with at least one drivable brush (10), folded back towards a cable end facing away from the cable end (5) to be processed. According to the invention, a defined fold-back position (P.sub.U) for the braided cable shield (6) is determined along the longitudinal axis (L) of the cable (2). Before and/or during brushing, a front end of the forming sleeve (12), said front end facing the cable end (5) to be processed, is placed onto the cable (2) and positioned at the fold-back position (P.sub.U) in order to fold back the braided cable shield (6) onto the forming sleeve (12) starting from the fold-back position (P.sub.U). According to the invention, the fold-back position (P.sub.U) is determined in such a way that the fold-back position (P.sub.U) deviates from the first stripping position (P.sub.A1) and/or that the forming sleeve (12) has an end-face stop surface (20) for the braided cable shield (6).

A stripping device for rapid midpoint stripping of an outer cladding layer of a cable includes a handle, a cutter disposed on the handle, a pressing assembly, and a scraper assembly. The pressing assembly includes a first bracket and a pressing part. The first bracket is disposed on the handle. The pressing part is slidably arranged on the first bracket and opposite to the cutter. The scraper assembly includes a second bracket disposed on the handle and a scraper disposed on the second bracket. The stripping device has advantages of simple operation, high stripping efficiency, and good safety.

A cable stripping fixture includes a depth gauge block having a first plurality of cable openings formed therein. Each of the first plurality of cable openings is sized to receive at least a portion of a first type of cable. A guide plate is fixed to the depth gauge block and includes a second plurality of cable openings formed therethrough. Each of the second cable openings is coaxially aligned with one of the first plurality of cable openings. A blade holder of the fixture is connected to one of the depth gauge block or the guide plate, and is movable between a cutting position and a cable insertion position. A blade is fixed to the blade holder for engaging with a cable inserted into the depth gauge block and the guide plate.
