Abstract:
1. A wire stripping apparatus comprising: a clamping device for holding a first portion of a wire comprising a core and an insulation around the core; a wire stripping mechanism; a casing for housing said clamping device and said wire stripping mechanism; and a wire insertion aperture provided in a wall of the casing, said wire stripping mechanism comprising: a shaft being rotatably supported and extended in the lengthwise direction of the wire; a cutter having a pair of first clamping elements, said first clamping elements being movable toward and away from each other in a first direction and rotatable together with the rotation of the shaft wherein said first clamping elements move toward each other to contact a second portion of the wire and rotate about the wire so as to provide a cut in the insulation of the wire at the second portion of the wire; a remover having a pair of second clamping elements, said second clamping elements being movable toward and away from each other in a second direction and rotatable together with the rotation of the shaft wherein said first and second directions are orthogonal one another and substantially perpendicular to the lengthwise direction of the wire and wherein said second clamping elements move toward each other to grasp a third portion of the wire immediately adjacent to the second portion of the wire away from the first portion of the wire; and said remover being movable in the lengthwise direction of the wire wherein said remover grasping the third portion of the wire moves in the lengthwise direction away from the first portion of the wire toward an end of the wire while rotating about the wire to remove the insulation from the wire.
