STRANDED CABLE TERMINATING DEVICE Russian patent published in 1999 - IPC

FIELD: electrical engineering. SUBSTANCE: device has recoil mechanism that functions to untwist stranded cable, cutting mechanism for cable metal sheath, cable untwisting check-up mechanism, cutting and stripping mechanism for insulation of cable strands, cable strand insulation crushing mechanism, receivers for winding strand insulation of untwisted cable. Disk blade 15 for cutting cable metal sheath has first rotor 12 with roller 16 for positioning disk blade 15 along lay of cable strands and knife 18 for stripping cut metal sheath off the cable. Cable untwisting check-up mechanism is, essentially, second rotor 19 driven through transducer 23 controlling recoil mechanism motor speed. Disk blades of cutting and stripping mechanism for insulation of cable strands are provided with changeable rings limiting cutting depth of cable strand insulation. EFFECT: provision for terminating stranded cables without damage to strands for their reuse in manufacturing cables and wires. 8 dwg
