The outer jacket is stripped by selecting the nearest size of outer jacket die blades from the four
position die blade set and setting the rear length stop to the correct strip length.
The outer jacket blade holder is adjustable for cable diameter variations.
As the outer jacket is stripped the inner conductors are drawn through a set of pinch rollers
which hold them in position for stripping by a set of flat blades in the secondary stripping
operation.
These blades are also adjustable for conductor diameter and are set to operate at the
required position by adjustment of a cam operating lever.
Once set the cable can just be laid into the unit and with a single pull of the handle outer jacket
and inner conductors are stripped with a cycle time of a few seconds.
The 3 stages of the stripping process can be seen
below:
| |
The outer jacket
is stripped in the first stage of the operation by the outer
stripping blades. |
|
In stage 2 of the
stripping process the rollers align the inner cores ready for
stripping. |
|
In the final
stage, the inner blades close and remove the insulation cleanly
from the cores. |
Special blades for flat, oval and non-standard conductors are also available.
By simply disabling the secondary stripping function the
D2 can be used as an outer
jacket stripper only.
