Electrical conductor striping machine - uses interlocked clamping and cutting jaws with pressure sensitive clamping to handle conductors of various cross-section

摘要

A chassis carries a member for closing two clamping jaws, with the cutting jaws closed while the clamping jaws are closed. Longitudinal displacement of one set of jaws relative to the other is caused. The clamping jaws (7) grip the conductor (82) with a constant pressure regardless of the conductor section, and the cutting jaws (49) are directly coupled to the clamping jaws so that the cutters (54,55) are brought together to a separation corresponding to that of the clamping jaws (8,9).
