For removing coating material from an end (5) of a fibre ribbon (1) over a length L, while using a chemical softening agent, the end is received and clamped between clamping parts (9, 35) of a holder. The clamping parts form a casing wall of a space in which the fibre ribbon with the end extends inwardly over said length L. The softening agent is supplied into said space via the supply opening (47), and brought into contact with coating material of the end, preferably via a layer of material (49) soakable for the softening agent. Adjacent to the point where the end extends inwardly through the wall formed by the clamping parts, scoring knives (33, 43) are mounted for scoring the coating material, and one of the clamping parts is provided with an exhaust opening (51) for exhausting surplus softening agent. After softening the fibre ribbon (1) is withdrawn, with the end clamped, from holder (9). <IMAGE> |
