Abstract
The invention relates to a continuous process and an apparatus for partially exposing conductor tracks in fully insulated laminated cables according to specifiable parameters selectable in accordance with the subsequent conditions for use. The object of the invention is to insert windows in exactly predetermined parts above/below individual/all flat conductors of a multiconductor flat cable, which windows are distinguished by clean and accurate contours and furthermore ensure good positional stability of the conductors. The flat cable (1) is first fed to an apparatus and fixed on it in such a way that an individually feedable and individually movable peeling tool (5) can be coordinated in a defined manner with each flat conductor, both from above and from below, which peeling tool effects first an incision in the insulation layer, then peeling off down to the flat conductor and finally separation of the chip (10).
