摘要 |
The invention relates to a process and an apparatus for cutting through a cable sheathing of fibres, in particular Kevlar (Trademark) fibres. A cutting apparatus has several, preferably concentric, cutting zones along the circumference of the cable, for example defined by a cutting die and an anvil, the cutting die and anvil preferably having a lateral recess for lateral insertion of a cable, and being pressed and/or hammered against one another in such a way that the fibres which are held in between are cut. An air stream in a suction pipe ensures the positioning of the fibres between the cutting die and the anvil. The invention permits rapid and reliable cutting of sheathing fibres. |
