Abstract
The invention relates to a stripping apparatus for fibre-optical cables (31), having rotatable stripping knives (1033) and rigid centering jaws (1040) which, in the operating position, are arranged between the stripping knives and the end of the cable (31). The centering jaws (1040) are furthermore located in the immediate vicinity of the stripping knives (1033) and hold the cable (31) to be stripped, in such a way that any torques acting on the cable (31) are absorbed and twisting or breakage of the cable (31) is avoided. Furthermore, modifications of the stripping machines are described which disclose the lateral insertion of a cable (31) into the particular stripping position inside a stripping station (1,2,3) by means of a manipulator (35), a novel stripping station (3) for stripping coating layers for optical waveguides and a novel conductor stop apparatus (80) and a drive-saving arrangement of several stripping stations (1,2,3) on a carriage (912).
