Abstract:
A method for preparing coaxial cables which have a sheath, a ringlike outer conductor, a central conductor and a dielectric separating the outer conductor from the central conductor, by cutting the outer conductor, the dielectric and the central conductor to length, characterized in that the cable is cut perpendicularly to its axis, in a position approximately determined in relation to a groove of the outer conductor; in that, with the help of a tool with a blade (3), the sheath is sheared off by rotation in a helical motion, while a guide (7) of the tool comes to rest on the central conductor and, under the action of a positioning and abutment device (8), (9), (10) of the tool, one or more supplementary blades (5), i.e. (14), (15) respectively of the tool, cut the outer conductor, the dielectric and the inner conductor, the inner conductor and the dielectric on the one hand and the outer conductor on the other hand, respectively, and possibly the outer conductor is treated by means of a flaring tool.
