Abstract
With the apparatus there can be cut an electrical cable in a minimum amount of time and the cable can have selectively different electrical insulation lengths stripped therefrom, without requiring exchange of the cutting and insulation stripping tool upon switching over to a different insulation stripping length and/or to a different cable cross-section. For this purpose, two respective insulation stripping blades are arranged at a predetermined fixed distance from a cutting blade in each of two cutter holders. The insulation stripping blades are shorter in length in relation to the length of the cutting blades by an amount such that during a first part of a work or working cycle only the cable is cut. A retraction drive retracts the cable ends from the cutting location through the desired insulation stripping length, whereafter, during a second part of the work cycle there is cut into the electrical insulation, and during a further retraction movement of the cable ends the insulation waste is pulled off with the insulation stripping blades closed.
