ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus is disclosed for orienting and stripping an end portion of a bundle of wires. The apparatus comprises a wire insulation stripper having a pair of blades with elongated, mutually parallel, planar cutting edges and means for moving the blades between an open position with the blade cutting edges spaced apart a distance to receiver therebetween a bundle of wires having metallic conductors of a common diameter sheathed with insulation, and a closed position with each blade cutting edge spaced apart another distance approximating the common conductor diameter. A clamp is mounted to one side of the stripper and a wire cutter mounted to the other side of the stripper. The apparatus further comprises means for reciprocally moving the stripper and cutter in tandem with respect to the clamp.
The method comprises the steps of extending a bundle of wires through an open clamp, through a pair of mutually parallel cutting blades of a wire insulation stripping device, and through a wire cutter. The wire insulation stripping device blades are converged into contact with the bundle causing the bundle of wires to fan out into a linear array and insulation of linearly arrayed wires to be cut. Convergence of the blades is terminated when the blades reach opposite sides of the metallic conductors sheathed within the insulation. The clamp is closed into gripping engagement with the wires and the wires severed with the wire cutter. The wire insulation stripping device and the cutter are then moved away from the clamp thereby stripping insulation from the conductors.
