Abstract
Apparatus for cutting, severing and stripping a portion of a covering layer, such as insulation, from the end of a filamentary core material, such as an electrical conductor. The apparatus includes means for clamping the workpiece to restrain axial movement thereof and a pair of blades which move radially of the workpiece to cut the insulation and then axially to complete the severing operation and strip the severed slug fully or partly from the conductor. The apparatus is powered by a pneumatic cylinder and includes means for automatically varying the clamping force on the workpiece commensurately with the axial pulling force exerted by the blades during severing and stripping. Unique mounting and moving means for the blades and workpiece clamping members are provided to permit pivotal mounting of the blade and clamping member supports while constraining reciprocal movement thereof radially of the workpiece to a linear path.
