An electrical cable coating apparatus provides a coating layer on an outer surface
of an electrical cable which is moving along a predetermined direction. A coating
liquid jet unit jets a given amount of a coating liquid at regular intervals to
provide a coating layer on the outer surface of the electrical cable. A storage
device stores a pattern for depositing the coating liquid on the outer surface
of the electrical cable. A detection device determines the moving speed of the
electrical cable, and a control unit controls the coating liquid jet unit to jet
a coating liquid to deposit the coating liquid on the outer surface to define the
pattern based on the electrical cable moving speed.
