Abstract:
1. An electrical cable coating apparatus for providing a coating layer on an outer surface of an electrical cable which is moving along a predetermined direction, the apparatus comprising: a detection means for measuring a moving speed of the electrical cable, a colorant jetting means for jetting a given amount of a colorant at regular intervals on the outer surface of the electrical cable, a coating liquid jet means disposed downstream from the colorant jetting means in the cable moving direction for jetting a given amount of a coating liquid at the regular intervals, a storage device for storing a distance between the coating liquid jet means and the colorant jetting means, and a control means for controlling the coating liquid jet means to jet a given amount of a coating liquid on the colorant coated on the outer surface of the electrical cable to deposit the colorant on the outer surface based on the distance and the electrical cable moving speed measured by the detection means, wherein the coating liquid includes a coating material and a solvent for dissolving the coating material.
