An automatic covered wire cutting and stripping method and an apparatus used for the method. The method comprises the steps of transferring a covered wire (1, 3) by a transfer mechanism (11, 41) toward a cutting mechanism (31) disposed opposite to the transfer mechanism so as to protrude the covered wire from the cutting mechanism by a specified length (L2) in the direction away from the transfer mechanism, cutting the cover (3) of the covered wire by the cutting mechanism to prepare the specified length of a cover part to be stripped, transferring the covered wire toward the transfer mechanism, gripping the cover part to be stripped by a grip mechanism (15, 16) and transferring the covered wire toward the transfer mechanism in the state that the cover part to be stripped is gripped by the grip mechanism thereby stripping the specified length of the cover from the covered wire. |
