Double-End Terminal Crimping Machine with Insulation Sleeve Insertion, 10–24 AWG WM-388

›

The WM-388 crimps terminals on both wire ends and slides an insulation sleeve over the crimped joint in the same automated cycle — a finish that otherwise costs a separate hand-sleeving bench. It processes 10–24 AWG wire at up to 1,700 pieces per hour with ±0.1 mm accuracy, strips 3–10 mm, and crimps from 2.0 to 4.0 tons under Mitsubishi PLC control. Sleeves are singulated from a vibratory bowl and placed automatically, while stripping, air-pressure and bad-terminal detection run on every cycle. The machine needs 0.4–0.5 MPa of clean air and stands 1300 × 800 × 1330 mm at 450 kg.

Specifications

Key features

• Crimp and sleeve in one pass — terminals on both ends arrive already insulated, removing the slowest manual station on the line
• 2.0 – 4.0 T crimping force spans small signal terminals up to AWG 10 power leads on one platform
• ±0.1 mm machine accuracy keeps strip length and sleeve position consistent from the first part to the ten-thousandth
• Mitsubishi PLC with stripping, air-pressure and bad-terminal detection stops faults at the station, not at final inspection

What it processes

• Appliance and power-tool leads with insulated spade or receptacle terminals, AWG 10–24
• Switchgear, lighting and HVAC jumper wires that specify sleeved crimp joints
• Export harnesses where exposed crimp barrels fail customer inspection

Suited for: double-ended leads that must ship with insulated crimp joints — appliance, switchgear, lighting and HVAC jumpers in 10–24 AWG with push-on insulation sleeves placed automatically over both crimps. Not suited for: heat-shrink insulation — for that, pick the WM-663 shrink tube inserting and heating machine, which cuts, places and shrinks Φ2–8 mm sleeve over wire ends and terminals — or wire outside 10–24 AWG and housing insertion; the other terminal crimping machines pick up out-of-range wire and housing work. If only one end needs the boot and the leads are short, the WM-3225 double-end crimping and soft sleeve inserting machine covers AWG 12–32 at 3,000 pieces per hour on 18–600 mm leads.

Sleeve tooling is matched to your sleeve and terminal dimensions, so prove-out happens on your parts: send 2–3 meters of your wire plus your terminals and sleeves, and we run the full crimp-and-sleeve cycle on this machine on video before you commit.
