Patent ID: 6983534

Claim:
A process for partially exposing conductor tracks of a multiconductor insulated laminated cable by forming at least one window of a desired length into at least one of an upper and lower insulation layer of the laminated cable ( 1 ), the process comprising the steps: (a) introducing the laminated cable ( 1 ) into an apparatus having at least one individually feedable and movable peeling tool ( 5 ); (b) fixing of the laminated cable ( 1 ) to the apparatus so that the at least one peeling tool ( 5 ) can be coordinated with at least one conductor track at least from one of above and below in accordance with a specified window; (c) cutting into at least one of the upper and lower insulation layer by relative penetrating movement between the peeling tool ( 5 ) and the insulation of the laminated cable ( 1 ); (d) slight moving the at least one peeling tool ( 5 ) away from the conductor track and then peeling off at least one of the upper and the lower insulation layer down to the conductor track by movement of the laminated cable ( 1 ) relative to the at least one peeling tool ( 5 ) such that peeling of the insulation of the laminated cable ( 1 ) is achieved solely by a cutting action of at least one cutting edge of the at least one peeling tool ( 5 ); and (e) separating of a chip ( 10 ) formed during peeling the laminated cable ( 1 ).
