Wire Harness Taping Machine with Cable Traction, 1,050 mm Pull Length WM-471

›

The WM-471 pulls the cable through the taping head instead of asking the operator to feed it by hand. A 1,050 mm traction rail draws the harness past a rotating tape disc while the head lays flannel, acetate, electrical or polyester tape at ±1 mm wrapping position accuracy, each turn overlapping the previous one by half its width. Spot taping and continuous taping are both selected on the touch screen (English interface), head speed is continuously adjustable from 300 to 2,500 rev/min, and the pull length can be extended on request.

Specifications

Key features

• Powered traction rail carries the cable through the head over a 1,050 mm stroke — the operator loads the lead once instead of walking the wrap along the run by hand
• Wrapping position repeats to ±1 mm, so spot bands land at the same distance from the connector on every piece
• Half-lap wrapping is built into the motion — each turn covers half of the previous turn, which is what keeps a flannel wrap flat and free of wrinkles
• Spot taping and continuous taping share one screen with an English interface, so the same machine does marking bands and full-length insulation wraps
• Head speed is continuously adjustable from 300 to 2,500 rev/min, letting you trade cycle time against pitch on soft tapes
• Takes ordinary harness tape without release paper — flannel, acetate, PVC electrical and polyester — on Φ37 mm or Φ32 mm cores, 5 to 25 mm wide
• Cutting blade sits under a guard plate behind the head, marked and shielded so the tape is severed without exposing the edge
• 36 kg benchtop frame, 1,470 × 380 × 280 mm, running on AC 220 V with a DC 24 V control side
• Free sample test — send your cable and tape, we wrap it on this machine and send you the video before you order

What it processes

• Straight cable and lead assemblies up to the 1,050 mm traction stroke — power cords, appliance leads, single-branch harness runs
• Spot bands at programmed distances from a connector, where the position has to repeat piece to piece
• Continuous spiral insulation and protection wraps in flannel, acetate, PVC or polyester tape
• Automotive, appliance, power cord and electronics assembly shops replacing hand taping on repetitive straight runs

Suited for: repetitive straight cable and lead assemblies that fit the 1,050 mm traction stroke — power cords, appliance leads and single-branch harness runs that need either a continuous spiral wrap or spot bands placed to ±1 mm. The black spiral-wrapped power cord in the gallery came off this machine. Not suited for: runs longer than the traction stroke, or branched harnesses that have to be guided by hand — the WM-467 automatic wire harness taping machine has no limitation on wrapping length, covers bundles Φ3–30 mm and adds a multi-segment mode for branches. For a small bench unit that wraps Φ2–15 mm bundles the operator feeds through by hand, take the WM-465 desktop continuous tape wrapping machine. And for harnesses already built into a vehicle or cabinet, where nothing can be brought to a bench, the handheld WM-4110 tape wrapping gun goes to the work instead, covering Φ8–35 mm.

The traction stroke is the one dimension worth checking against your own parts before you enquire — send us the finished length you tape most often and we will confirm whether the standard 1,050 mm rail covers it or whether the extended build is the right one.
