B. Stripping Mechanism Subassembly (Figures 10 and 11)

Beneath the main cylinder, and between the vertical frame members is the stripping mechanism which slides

in gibs. The stripping blades are actuated (closed and opened) by the stripping cylinder mounted at the back

of the mechanism. After closing of the blades, the mechanism is moved to the rear by a separate air cylinder,

to strip the insulation from the wire being terminated. The wire sensor, acting as a wire stop, is mounted at the

back of the strip blades. When the machine is being operated in the automatic mode, selected by the AUTO-

HAND knob on the front of the machine, the wire placement is detected by the wire sensor and automatically

cycles the machine, provided that the foot valve is being held depressed. The use of the sensor ensures exact

positioning of the wire for each termination.
