Abstract
An apparatus for stripping wire conductors formed by a central conducting core housed in an insulating sleeve includes a main frame supporting a clamping device composed of clamping jaws for holding the wire to be stripped, actuators for closing the jaws of the clamping device, cutting nippers with blades for effecting a cut in the insulating sleeve of the wire without cutting into the core of the wire, actuators for closing the blades of the cutting nippers when the jaws of the clamping device are closed against the wire, and actuators for displacing either the clamping device or the cutting device in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the conductor. The elements of the clamping device are arranged in such a way as to permit the clamping jaws to hold the conducting wire tightly under a constant pressure regardless of the cross-cross section of the wire, and wherein the blades of the cutting nippers are directly coupled to the clamping device in such a way that the blades approach one another to a distance corresponding to the distance between the clamping jaws of the clamping device.
