<p>A cable stripper apparatus (10) is disclosed for stripping insulation (12) from an electric cable (14). The apparatus (10) includes a framework (16) and a driven wire feeder (18) rotatably secured to the framework (16). A guide (20) is provided for guiding the cable (14) towards the wire feeder (18). The guide (20) includes a movable spacer bar (22) which extends towards the wire feeder (18). A cutter (24) has a cutting edge (26)which is disposed spaced and parallel to an axis of rotation (A) of the wire feeder (18). The cutter (24) is connected to the framework (16) immediately adjacent to the wire feeder (18). The arrangement is such that when the cable (14) is guided by the guide (20) towards the wire feeder (18), the wire feeder (18), spacer bar (22) and the cutter (24) cooperate with each other for stripping the insulation (12) from the cable (14). A cam (30) is rotatably supported by the framework (16) for moving the movable spacer bar (22) relative to the framework (16) to a required location (L1) of a plurality of locations (L1, L2, L3, L4, L5 and L6) of the movable spacer bar (22). The cam (30) defines a plurality of cam faces (32-37) such that when the cam (30) is selectively rotated, a corresponding cam face of the plurality of cam faces (32-37) cooperates with and moves the spacer bar (22) to the required location of the spacer bar (22) for guiding a particular gauge wire (14) towards the cutter (24).</p> |
