Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to an aluminum foil stripping device and an aluminum foil stripping method. Background Art

[0002] In the prior art, in order to make an electrical connection, one end of the cable needs to be processed. Usually, the outer insulation layer of one end of the cable needs to be stripped off first to expose a section of aluminum foil layer; then the exposed aluminum foil layer needs to be stripped off to expose the cable conductor. When stripping the aluminum foil layer, it is necessary to first cut an incision on both radial sides of the aluminum foil layer at the same time. In the prior art, it is usually necessary to set up a laser machine on both radial sides of the aluminum foil layer. Two laser machines cut the aluminum foil from both radial sides of the aluminum foil layer at the same time to cut an incision on both radial sides of the aluminum foil layer. Laser machines are expensive, and the cost of using two laser machines is too high. If one laser machine is used, the cable needs to be flipped over to cut an incision on both radial sides of the aluminum foil layer in turn, which reduces the efficiency of stripping the aluminum foil layer.
