Abstract
A device for forming a notch for stripping includes a cutting mechanism which includes an electrically conductive cutter blade; a contact detecting section for detecting contact between an outermost conductor of the coated electric wire and the cutter blade based on a variable capacitance between the outermost conductor and the cutter blade; and a movement mechanism for adjusting a position of the cutter blade and thus positioning the cutter blade to a position corresponding to a specified notch depth for forming the notch, upon detecting the contact between the cutter blade and the outermost conductor by the contact detecting section during movement of the cutter blade.
