Automatic Wire and Cable Prefeeding Machine with Vertical Coil Turntable and Tension Control WM-9309

Name: Automatic Wire and Cable Prefeeding Machine with Vertical Coil Turntable and Tension Control WM-9309
Brand: Wiromac
SKU: WM-9309

HS Code 8479.89 Wire and cable OD < 15 mm 50 kg coil load

The WM-9309 is a floor-standing wire prefeeder that pays off cable from a 550 mm turntable carrying coils up to 50 kg. An inverter-driven motor with induction variable speed matches the pay-off rate to the downstream machine, while a spring-loaded tension arm on the overhead roller boom keeps wire up to 15 mm OD feeding at a steady 900 mm delivery height.

Key features

Induction variable speed — the drive senses wire demand and speeds up or slows down with the downstream machine instead of running at a fixed rate
Vertical turntable with center cone and adjustable retaining posts holds loose coils as well as spooled wire; the posts reposition to suit the wire diameter
Overhead boom guides the wire through a row of grooved rollers, so the pull-off point stays above the coil and loops cannot slip under the turntable
Spring-loaded tension arm with a limit switch stops the feed if the wire snags or the loop runs out, protecting both wire and downstream tooling
Low-noise operation and lockable casters make it easy to reposition between lines

What it processes

Feeding wire and cable up to 15 mm OD into automatic cutting and stripping machines
Prefeeding for crimping machines and tin soldering machines that draw wire from coils
Replacing manual de-reeling on long-piece jobs where a passive stand causes tangles and length errors
Supplying coiled (reel-less) cable that cannot run on a shaft-type pay-off

Suited for: powered pay-off of coiled wire and cable up to 15 mm OD and 50 kg, feeding automatic cutting, crimping or soldering equipment — see the wire cutting and stripping range this machine typically stands in front of. Not suited for: corrugated tube and hose, which run on the WM-9120T cable and tube prefeeder, or fine Ø0.6–5 mm coaxial cable, which needs the tension-free loop of the WM-9105C coax prefeeder.

The layout is what sets the WM-9309 apart from a shaft-type pay-off: the coil lies flat on a rotating 550 mm turntable, held by a center cone and adjustable posts, and the wire leaves vertically over a boom of grooved guide rollers at 900 mm feeding height. Coils without a reel — the way heavier cable is often delivered — run directly, with nothing to re-spool.

The spring-loaded tension arm under the boom is the machine’s handshake with your line. It buffers the difference between the cutter’s intermittent pulls and the turntable’s rotation, and its limit switch cuts the drive the moment the wire snags. If your reels are shaft-wound and the line runs faster, compare the WM-9150 variable-speed pay-off rated to 4 m/s at the same 50 kg load.

WM-9309 — common questions

What wire and coil sizes does the WM-9309 accept?

The stated limits are wire outer diameter below 15 mm, a 550 mm turntable and a 50 kg load. The retaining posts on the turntable adjust to the coil, so both loose coils and light spools can run. Send your coil dimensions and wire OD with the inquiry and we confirm fit before shipment.

How does it keep pace with my cutting machine?

The inverter drive uses induction variable speed — as the downstream machine draws wire, the turntable accelerates; when demand stops, it slows and stops. There is no data connection to program, so it can stand in front of almost any wire processing machine that pulls wire from a buffer loop.

Why do I need a powered prefeeder at all?

A cutting machine's own rollers can drag light wire off a small reel, but a 50 kg coil has real inertia. Pulling against it stretches the wire, degrades length accuracy and can stall the feed. A powered pay-off removes that load so the cutter only measures, not hauls.

What if my material is corrugated tube or fine coaxial cable?

For corrugated tube, hose and PVC tube the WM-9120T tube prefeeder is the right base. For tension-sensitive coaxial cable from Ø0.6–5 mm, use the WM-9105C, which adds dancer-controlled tension-free feeding. Both are listed in the same category.
