Automatic Wire Crimping and Housing Insertion Machine with Tinning or Half-Stripping WM-366

The WM-366 turns loose wire into finished connector leads in one pass: it cuts and strips AWG 30–18 wire, crimps terminals on two inline 2.0 T presses, snaps the crimped end into a connector housing and tins or half-strips the other end — up to 6,000 holes/hour on AWG 28–24. Wire-lack, terminal-lack, CFM and CCD visual checks gate every cycle, programmed on a 10-inch touch screen with PLC control.

Specifications

Key features

• One wire, two finished ends per cycle — the crimped end is inserted into the connector housing, the other end is tinned or half-stripped; a twisting function is available as an option
• Two inline 2.0 T crimping presses with horizontal-feed card applicators crimp ahead of the insertion station, so terminal insertion runs from reel terminals, not pre-terminated wire
• Housings arrive oriented from a vibratory bowl feeder tooled to your connector — swap bowls and recipes to change over
• Four detection gates on every cycle — wire lack, terminal lack, crimp force monitoring (CFM) and CCD visual inspection — keep empty cavities and bad crimps out of the output tray
• Servo and stepping motor motion with recipe storage on the 10-inch touch screen; batch counts, defect counts and hourly rate are tracked on screen
• Free sample test — send your wire, terminals and housings; we tool up, run them on this machine and send you the trial video before you order

What it processes

• Snap-in connector leads with one tinned or half-stripped free end — LED lighting pigtails, appliance and electronics harnesses
• AWG 30 – 18 hookup wire processed to length from 45 to 500 mm as standard (15 – 2,500 mm by customization)
• Board-in leads where the free end is soldered — tinned ends go straight to hand or wave soldering

Suited for: high-volume single-wire connector leads in AWG 30 – 18 — crimped end seated in the housing, free end tinned or half-stripped — where inline CFM and CCD checks matter. For other jobs and machine options: jobs that only need crimped terminals on both ends with no housing — the WM-3202 fully automatic double-end crimping machine (AWG 18–28, 3,800+ pcs/h) is the simpler, faster fit there. If your volumes don’t justify a dual-press CCD-inspected cell, the WM-362S single-head crimping, housing insertion and tinning machine does the same crimp-insert-tin job on AWG 28–20 wire at 2,200 pcs/hour in a smaller footprint.

Wire feeds from a multi-spool pay-off stand, and a wire twisting function ahead of tinning is available as an option — mention twisted-and-tinned ends in your inquiry if your leads need them.
