Automatic Heat Shrink Tube Laser Marking, Inserting and Shrinking Machine for Φ10 Tube, Alternate Build WM-673B
The WM-673B is an alternate build of the Φ2.0/Φ10 laser mark–insert–shrink station: same published envelope as the WM-673 — 2.5-second cycle, 8–45 mm shrink length, 0–400 °C, 2,500 W, forced water cooling, 0.5/0.65 MPa air, 900 × 550 × 1,290 mm and 165 kg — built as a separate unit and quoted separately from the WM-673.

Key features
- Same published laser mark–insert–shrink envelope as the WM-673 — Φ2.0/Φ10 tube, 8–45 mm shrink length, 2.5-second cycle, 2,500 W, forced water cooling
- Laser writes the legend with no ink or ribbon; Excel import, serial numbers and two labels on two-core wire are on the same sheet
- Laser can be switched off so black tube runs as a regular inserting-and-shrinking job on the same fixtures
- Rotary processing station with feeding/pressing mechanism and a dedicated wire-guide station as photographed on this page
- Temperature-control panel on the machine sets the 0–400 °C bake range from the published controller
- Manipulator wire take-out standard; one-key restore undoes an accidental process change
- Free sample test — send your wire, tube and legend text; we run them on this machine and send the video before you order
What it processes
- Wire-harness ends that need a printed heat shrink identification sleeve on tube in the Φ10 class
- Color-coded light tube plus unmarked black-tube jobs sharing the same fixtures
Suited for: laser-marked heat-shrink identification on wire ends, tube in the Φ2.0/Φ10 class, 8–45 mm shrink zones, 2.5-second cycle — the same job as the WM-673, in an alternate build. Not suited for: tube in the Φ2.0/Φ6.5 class with 8–40 mm shrink zones — that belongs on the WM-671JG. Ink/print marking on Φ2.0/Φ6.0 mm tube is the WM-669. Insert-and-heat without marking, Φ2.0 to Φ8.0 mm, is the WM-663.
The letter B marks an alternate build, not a firmware option. The specification matches the WM-673 line for line; the enclosure details differ, and each build is quoted on its own. Tell us which page you are looking at.
Send 2–3 meters of your wire, your tube and the exact legend text. We return a video with measured cycle time and a marked, shrunk sample before you commit.
The listed 2.5-second equipment cycle and 1,000–2,000 pcs/h capacity use separate references. Confirm pieces per cycle, loading method and accepted hourly output during the sample trial before planning capacity.

WM-673B — common questions
How is the WM-673B different from the WM-673?
Published specifications are the same sheet (Φ2.0/Φ10, 8–45 mm shrink length, 2.5 s cycle, 2,500 W, forced water cooling, 0.5/0.65 MPa, 900 × 550 × 1,290 mm, 165 kg). This page and the WM-673 are two builds of that specification, quoted separately — tell us which page you are looking at when you ask for a price.
Is this a cheaper version of the WM-671JG?
No. The WM-671JG is a different published machine — Φ2.0/Φ6.5 tube and 8–40 mm shrink length. The WM-673 and WM-673B share the Φ10 / 8–45 mm sheet. Quote the WM-671JG only when your sleeve stays inside that smaller class.
How does it compare with the WM-669?
The WM-669 ink-prints Φ2.0/Φ6.0 mm tube, heats 6–35 mm, uses forced air cooling, draws 1,450 W and weighs 82 kg. This machine laser-marks Φ2.0/Φ10 tube, shrinks 8–45 mm, uses forced water cooling, draws 2,500 W and weighs 165 kg. Same 2.5-second cycle, different marking method and tube class.
What throughput should I plan for?
The published cycle is 2.5 seconds and rated capacity is 1,000–2,000 pcs/h, depending on manual loading speed. We time your actual part on video during the sample trial.
Why is there no touch screen in the gallery?
The temperature-control panel in the gallery is the bake-temperature hardware, not the 7-inch capacitive touchscreen. Export units ship with the English interface and manual; we confirm the control layout on your sample run.
