Abstract
Apparatus for stripping sheathing from wire at controllable depth, includes: PA0 (a) a frame, PA0 (b) wire clamp mechanism on the frame for sidewardly clamping the wire sheathing, at a location spaced from the end of the wire advanced past the clamp mechanism, PA0 (c) a carriage on the frame linearly movable longitudinally toward and away from the wire clamp mechanism, PA0 (d) a rotating spindle on the carriage and structure including a blade or blades on the spindle and rotatable thereby to rotatably cut into the wire sheathing at a location proximate the guide, PA0 (e) a wire engaging guide mounted on the carriage independently of the spindle for sidewardly engaging the wire sheathing at a location between the clamp mechanism and the blade structure, PA0 (f) a control on the spindle to control the depth of cutting of the blade structure into the sheathing, and as the spindle rotates, PA0 (g) and a drive operatively connected with the carriage to carry the blade structure to selected positions along the wire and at which the blade structure then cuts into the sheathing, to controlled depth, the carriage being retractable to pull a cut plug of the sheathing endwise off the wire.
