A device for removing coating from optical fibres comprises a pair of housing members incorporating heater elements and each housing member has a surface provided with a coating removal blade. The coating removal blades are actively or passively heated to provide better cutting, are manufactured in one piece to provide automatic blade alignment and easy replacement in the field, and are provided with a region for collection of the removed coating debris. An external alignment device provides automatic alignment between the coated fibre ribbon and the profile of the coating removal blade, if this is serrated. Such a device can align, heat and cut through an end portion of a coated optical fibre, giving easy separation of the split coating layers and consequently excellent performance when removing the coating layers of a coated optical fibre.
