Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0980831A1] The sleeve is lifted off an object in a certain area, this part of the sleeve is cut, and cut sleeve and object are subjected to a relative movement, so that the sleeve is removed. The object is pushed out of the sleeve, and the sleeve is removed by suction. The device to carry out the process has a suction element (35), a cutter (36), an element (37) to hold the sleeve on the object, an ejector (38), and a further suction element (39) to remove the empty sleeve. The holder element consists of two relatively moveable jaws, with high friction surfaces.
