Abstract
In a method of stripping an insulated electric wire, circumferential cuts are formed in an insulating coating of the electric wire by use of circumferential cutters and then the circumferential cutters are moved in a longitudinal direction of the electric wire to separate cut pieces of the insulating coating from itself. After longitudinal cuts have been formed in the insulating coating by use of longitudinal cutters the insulating coating is removed by an air blow and an upper waste coating is sucked by a vacuum. Longitudinally cut edges of the insulating coating are abutted against shoulders which continue by intersection with inclined outer faces of cutting edges of the longitudinal cutters. A lower waste coating falls by a self weight between a pair of the longitudinal cutters. An ultrasonic horn may be employed to press the insulating coating toward the longitudinal cutters while making ultrasonic vibrations.
