Abstract

Each of cutting mechanisms of a device for forming a notch for stripping includes: an electrically conductive notch forming cutter blade; a contact detecting section configured to detect a contact between an outermost conductor of a coated electric wire and the notch forming cutter blade based on a current through an electric circuit including a power supply connecting part, the outermost conductor and the notch forming cutter blade; and a notch forming movement mechanism configured to move the notch forming cutter blade in an intersection direction intersecting an outer circumferential surface, wherein upon detecting the contact by the contact detecting section during movement of the notch forming cutter blade, the notch forming movement mechanism is configured to adjust a position of the notch forming cutter blade in the intersection direction and position the notch forming cutter blade to a position corresponding to a specified notch depth for forming notches therein.
