13 Ton Hydraulic Cable Lug Crimping Machine with Change-Free Hexagonal Die WM-3218

Name: 13 Ton Hydraulic Cable Lug Crimping Machine with Change-Free Hexagonal Die WM-3218
Brand: Wiromac
SKU: WM-3218

HS Code 8463.90 0–75 mm²

The WM-3218 closes copper cable lugs and tube terminals with 13 tons of hydraulic force, and it does it without unbolting die halves between sizes — one hexagonal die set opens and closes to the size selected on the 4.3-inch touch screen, which is also where the crimping pressure is set. Rated crimping range is 0–75 mm² at 0.03 mm equipment accuracy, in a 500 × 380 × 935 mm, 110 kg bench press running on AC 220 V, 50 Hz.

Key features

Change-free hexagonal die — one die set covers a run of sizes, so mixed-size lug work stops costing a tooling change per size
13 tons of hydraulic force with the crimping pressure set from the screen instead of by feel
Crimp size selected by conductor cross-section on the touch screen, with a stored preset per size
Square, four-point and OTP molds fit the same press when a job needs an indent or shaped profile instead of a hexagon
Screen also carries the piece counter, jog mode, mold calibration and IO monitor; English interface, emergency stop on the front panel
Bench-sized at 500 × 380 × 935 mm and 110 kg — it fits in a cell rather than needing a press bay

What it processes

Copper tube terminals and cable lugs on new-energy, battery and energy-storage cable
Switchgear, panel-building and grounding leads terminated with hexagonal compression joints
Short-run and mixed-size lug work where die changeovers cost more time than the crimping does
Workshops replacing hand hydraulic crimping tools with a repeatable bench press

Suited for: hexagonal compression crimping of copper cable lugs and tube terminals on a bench — mixed-size batches in particular, because the hexagonal die is change-free and the size is picked on the screen rather than built with tooling. Not suited for: reel-fed harness terminals, which belong on a strip-and-crimp machine such as the WM-3120BT for AWG 32–20 wire or the WM-3103 loose ferrule crimper for 0.35–4 mm² tubular terminals; and not for lugs above this press class — for copper lugs up to 120 mm² step up to the WM-3135T 35-ton servo lug press.

Two things separate this press from a hand hydraulic crimping tool. The force is set and repeated by the machine rather than by how hard the operator pumps, and the size lives in the screen, so the tenth lug of the shift matches the first. Two things separate it from the heavier servo presses in this category: it is hydraulic and it is small — 110 kg on a 500 × 380 × 935 mm footprint, sized for a workbench in a panel shop rather than a press bay.

Lug crimping is tooling-specific, so we prove it before you pay for it. Send a few of your lugs and two or three meters of your cable — we crimp them on this machine, film the run, and send you the video and the crimped samples.

WM-3218 — common questions

What does "change-free hexagonal die" mean in practice?

The hexagonal die set stays bolted in. You pick the conductor size on the touch screen and the press closes the hexagon to that size, so a batch that mixes several conductor sizes runs without stopping to swap die halves. Square, four-point and OTP molds are listed as applicable tooling for jobs whose profile is not a hexagon — those are conventional mold changes.

Which conductor sizes does it actually cover?

The rated crimping range is 0–75 mm², and the screen of the machine photographed here carries eight stored size presets running from 1.5 mm² to 35 mm². Because those two figures do not describe the same window, send us your lug and a length of your conductor before you order — we crimp your sample on this machine on camera and confirm in writing which sizes the die set covers for your parts.

When should I step up to a larger press?

When the lug is bigger than this class of press or the crimp has to be logged. For copper lugs and tube terminals up to 120 mm² use the WM-3135T 35-ton servo lug press, and where crimp records and error alarms are audited, the WM-3130T servo press comes in 8, 10, 15, 20 and 30 ton versions.

What do I need to supply on my side?

Electrically it is a single-phase AC 220 V, 50 Hz machine rated at 0.1 kW, and it ships at 110 kg in a 500 × 380 × 935 mm footprint. Tell us your shop supply and the lug you crimp, and we confirm the full connection list and the die coverage before the order is placed.
