An apparatus is disclosed for stripping the insulation from the end of an insulated conductor and positioning the thus stripped conductor for termination. The apparatus includes two support members each carrying an insulation cutting knife and means for gripping the conductor, first cam means to actuate one of the support members from an open position to a closed, insulation-piercing and conductor-gripping position, second cam means to displace the conductor along its longitudinal axis to thereby strip the insulation from the end thereof, means for adjusting the movable support member to accommodate conductors of various diameters, means for adjusting the displacement of the stripped conductor to properly position for the termination operation, and means to actuate the first and second cam means in a predetermined operation sequence. |
