Abstract
Machines and methods for removing screens from cable, wherein screen surrounds at least one electrical or optical conductor (). The screen may be a braided screen () from a cable () including at least one conductor (), screen (), and outer insulation (). After baring screen () by removing outer insulation (), a section is deformed and/or unbraided, and then the deformed section of the screen () is cut off. The step of deforming and/or unbraiding is accomplished by lifting-off the screen () from the inner conductor () on at least one end of the section of the screen () to be removed, at least over a part of the circumference of the cable. This step additionally includes or may be followed by pressing the parts of the screen (), that have been lifted off onto an erection surface () before cutting them off, whereby preferably the parts of the screen () that have been lifted off are bent backwards in the direction of the yet undeformed screen ().
