Abstract

See full text

A method and apparatus for removing insulation from the ends of electrical wires. The wire processing machine has a pair of turning mechanisms each driving a set of feed wheels, one set on either side of a pair of reciprocating V-notch shaped cutting blades. The feed wheels grip a wire for feeding it into and out of the cutting zone of the blades. Each set of feed wheels and its turning mechanism are mounted on a reciprocating table. A rotation mechanism causes the feed wheels to reciprocate in opposed directions transverse to the wire axis for the purpose of rotating the wire about its axis. The cutting blades close upon a wire positioned for stripping, cutting less than the full circumference of the insulation. With the blades closed and stationary, the rotation mechanism is activated to rotate the wire, thereby completing a full encircling cut of the insulation. The feed wheels advance the wire with the blades closed to remove the insulation slug.
