1. An electric cable stripping device, including at least one stripping beam emitted by a LASER source and focused by an optical assembly to a cutting point, and further including at least one receiving track for receiving a portion of cable to strip, each LASER source including a LASER diode emitting a stripping beam of wavelength between 400 nm and 460 nm.
2. A device according to claim 1, wherein each LASER source is a LASER diode emitting a stripping beam of wavelength between 400 nm and 410 nm or between 440 nm and 460 nm.
3. A device according to claim 1, comprising mechanical directing structure adapted to move at least one cutting point around a cable receiving track in a transverse plane.
4. A device according to claim 1, comprising mechanical directing structure adapted to move at least one cutting point along a rectilinear cable receiving track.
5. A device according to claim 1, wherein each cable receiving track passes entirely across the device and is provided with a retractable stop which, in retracted position, allows the passage of the cable, the latter then passing across the device and which, in extended position, crosses the cable receiving track and thus closes the passage to the cable in order to enable stripping of one end of the cable wedged against the extended stop
6. A device according to claim 1, comprising several rectilinear receiving tracks for cables to strip, these tracks extending in the same plane parallel to each other in a longitudinal direction (X), and in that the device includes mechanical directing structure adapted to move at least one cutting point or at least one receiving track in a transverse direction (Y) at a right angle to the longitudinal direction X and parallel to the plane of the cable receiving tracks.
7. A device according to claim 1, comprising at least two stripping beams, the cutting points of said beams being situated on respective opposite sides of a cable receiving track, in the same transverse stripping plane.
8. A device according to claim 1, comprising four stripping beams distributed around a cable receiving track each of the stripping beams being formed by a transverse primary beam emitted by a blue or violet laser diode in the stripping plane, and reflected by a motor-driven pivoting mirror, the motor-driven pivoting mirrors being controlled out of synchronization such that the stripping beams do not cross each other.
9. A device according to claim 1 comprising three or four stripping beams distributed around a cable receiving track, each of the stripping beams being formed by a primary beam emitted by a blue or violet laser diode in a direction parallel to the cable receiving track, and reflected by a motor-driven pivoting mirror.
10. A device according to claim 9, wherein the device has a front face by which a cable to strip may be inserted into a cable entry aperture, and in that each motor-driven pivoting mirror is associated with a motor arranged behind the corresponding laser diode.
11. A device according to claim 1, comprising, for each cable receiving track , a holding assembly for holding a cable to strip in the cable receiving track, and in that the holding assembly includes a gland provided with a sleeve of light-tight elastic material.
