Patent ID: 8632284

Claim:
A device for machining an electrical cable including a joint having a cylindrical part and at least one conical part adjoining the cylindrical part, the device comprising: a fixture arranged to receive the cable and to hold the cable in a fixed position, the fixture defines an elongated space for accommodating the cable such that the longitudinal axis of the cable extends along the longitudinal axis of the elongated space, a tool for removing material from the cable including at least one elongated cutter having a longitudinal axis arranged inclined with respect to the longitudinal axis of said space so that the angle between the longitudinal axes of the cutter and the space is between 10 and 80 degrees, rotational guiding means for guiding a first rotation of the cutter about a longitudinal axis of said space, and drive means for providing a second rotation of the cutter about a rotational axis through the tool in order to cause the machining, characterized in that the fixture comprises a first and a second holding element for holding the cable in a fixed position, and arranged on opposite sides of said tool, the longitudinal axis of the cutter and the longitudinal axis of said space lie on skew lines, and the rotational guiding means comprises a frame mechanically connected to the tool, and the frame is arranged rotatable relative the fixture in such a way that the tool rotates about the longitudinal axis of the space, and the cutter is adapted to be in contact with the surface of the conical part of the cable as well as the transition between the cylindrical part and the conical part during the machining.
