Determining at least one stripping parameter for stripping a cable containing a conductor by: a) cutting an insulation up to a cutting depth of a cable with at least one stripping knife, wherein an initial cutting depth is selected to be the cutting depth, which ensures that the at least one stripping knife comes in contact with the conductor; b) stripping the cut insulation by moving the at least one stripping knife in a longitudinal direction in relation to the cable; c) determining by a detecting unit whether the at least one stripping knife has come in contact with the conductor in the step a); and d) repeating the steps a) to c), wherein in each case the cutting depth is reduced by a cutting feed value until a conductor contact can no longer be determined, whereby the stripping cutting depth is maintained in a parameter determination phase.

Method for determining stripping parameters for stripping a cable

A method for stripping a cable, the cable having a conductor encompassed by an insulation and extending in a longitudinal direction, includes cutting into the insulation with stripping blades, after which the insulation is removed by sliding the stripping blades in the longitudinal direction. During the removal procedure, the longitudinal position of the stripping blades is detected if it has been determined by a detection device that at least one of the stripping blades has come in contact with the conductor. Based on the longitudinal position of one or more contacts with the conductor, a classification of the cable as adequately or poorly stripped is carried out.
