Abstract
The invention relates to a process and a device for measuring the length of a cable end, in particular in a cable stripping machine or the like, having clamping jaws and axially displaceable knife jaws and/or centering jaws on a sliding carriage with a controlled drive with the use of at least one contactless—in particular optical—sensor, which is moved under control along the cable in order exactly to detect the cable end. The cable is maintained in a relatively centered position but without force.
