Compact Wire Pre-Feeder and Cable Dereeler Stand for 20-30 cm Reels and Bare Coils WM-9332

›

The WM-9332 is a powered wire pre-feeder that carries the reel upright on a horizontal shaft between two adjustable flanges, so a standard Ø20-30 cm spool goes on the way it arrives from the wire mill — and a bare coil with no reel at all clamps between the same two discs. Load capacity is ≥15 kg, the 120 W drive follows demand through a spring tension pole with an electronic induction brake, and the whole stand occupies a 37 × 48 cm footprint next to your cutting machine.

Specifications

Key features

• Upright reel on a horizontal shaft — the spool mounts the way it ships, with no re-coiling and no lifting a reel onto a flat turntable
• Two large slotted flanges close on the reel or coil from both sides, and four adjustable taper pegs grip the bore, so wire delivered as a bare coil runs without any reel at all
• Feed rate follows demand instead of running at a fixed rate — as the downstream machine pulls, the drive turns; when it stops, the electronic induction brake stops the reel before it can overrun into loose loops
• Spring-loaded tension pole with a sensor at its base carries the wire from the reel to the overhead boom, keeping pull-off tension off the wire itself
• 0-8 speed dial and a forward/reverse switch on an English-marked panel, so the same stand can pay off or take up
• 37 × 48 cm base plate and 120 W drive — a floor-standing pay-off that fits in the aisle space beside a benchtop cutter rather than needing its own bay

What it processes

• Paying off Ø20-30 cm spools of hook-up wire into automatic cutting and stripping machines
• Feeding bare coils delivered without a reel, which cannot be mounted on a shaft-only pay-off
• Flat cable and sheathed cable pre-feeding where a flat turntable would let the coil twist
• Steel wire and other springy material that needs braked, controlled release rather than free spin
• Small and mid-volume harness cells where floor space next to the machine is the constraint

Suited for: powered pay-off of Ø20-30 cm spools and bare coils up to ≥15 kg, feeding a wire cutting and stripping machine or a crimping cell where floor space beside the machine is tight. Not suited for: loads above 15 kg or reels wider than the flange window — for general reels to 50 kg at up to 4 m/s use the WM-9150 variable-speed pay-off; for tension-sensitive Ø0.6-5 mm coaxial cable, the dancer loop of the WM-9105C coax pre-feeder is the correct base; for corrugated tube and hose, use the WM-9120T cable and tube pre-feeder at 20 kg. Heavy loose coils that will not fit between the flanges belong on the 550 mm turntable of the WM-9309 prefeeding machine, and mill spools of Ø600-1,250 mm carrying up to 1.5 t need the WM-9151 heavy-duty pay-off stand.

Why the reel stands upright

Most powered pre-feeders in this class lay the coil flat on a rotating table. That works well for heavy cable delivered as a loose coil, and badly for wire delivered on a spool — the flanges foul the table, so somebody has to unwind the spool onto the turntable first, and re-coiled wire brings its own twist and tangles.

The WM-9332 turns the axis ninety degrees. The reel rides on a horizontal shaft between two slotted flanges that close in from either side, which is how the wire mill wound it and how your storeroom stacks it. Loading is one man lifting one spool onto a shaft at waist height.

The same geometry solves the opposite problem too. Four black taper pegs sit on a clamp collar on the shaft; they expand into the bore of a coil that has no reel, and the two flanges close on its faces. So the stand covers both delivery formats — spooled and bare coil — which is unusual at this size, and is the reason it is listed as suitable for flat cable, sheathed cable and steel wire rather than round hook-up wire alone.

Demand-following, then braked

A pre-feeder earns its place at the moment the cutting machine stops. A free-spinning reel carries on turning, throws a loop of wire onto the floor and hands the next cycle a length error. The WM-9332 answers that with two linked parts: the drive follows demand rather than running at a set rate, and an electronic induction brake takes the rotation out of the reel at stop.

Between the reel and your machine sits the spring-loaded tension pole visible in the gallery — a vertical guide rod on the base plate with a sensor at its pivot. The wire runs from the reel over the overhead boom and down past this pole, so the pole absorbs the difference between the cutter’s intermittent pulls and the reel’s continuous rotation. Pull-off tension is taken by the mechanism rather than by the wire, which matters most on fine or soft-jacket material where a hard pull stretches the conductor and spoils length accuracy.

Speed and torque are set on the panel dial from 0 to 8, with a forward/reverse switch beside it. The controller plate is marked in English, and reverse means the same stand can wind material back on rather than only pay it off.

Sizing it honestly

Two figures are worth reading carefully before you order. The load rating is ≥15 kg, which is deliberately at the light end — this is a stand for spools, not for mill drums, and the 50 kg and 1.5 t models above are linked at the top of this page for a reason. The reel window of Ø200-300 mm is likewise a real limit, not a guideline: a 400 mm spool will not close between these flanges.

What the manufacturer does not state is a maximum feeding speed or a wire outer diameter range, and we have not filled those blanks with estimates. If your line runs fast or your cable is at the heavy end, send the wire specification and the downstream machine model with your inquiry — a stand that cannot keep up is worse than no stand, and it is a five-minute question to settle before quoting rather than after delivery.
