Semi-Automatic Number Tube Printing, Inserting and Ferrule Crimping Machine WM-393

Name: Semi-Automatic Number Tube Printing, Inserting and Ferrule Crimping Machine WM-393
Brand: Wiromac
SKU: WM-393

HS Code 8463.90 0.3–6 mm² ≈3.2 s per lead

The WM-393 turns a plain RV wire into a marked, ferruled lead at one seated workstation — it thermal-prints the PVC number tube, feeds it out, and after the operator threads it on, the machine strips, twists, inserts and servo-crimps the bootlace ferrule in one cycle of about 3.2 seconds. Wire range 0.3–6 mm², tube legends typed on the 10-inch touchscreen or loaded by USB, ferrules fed from a universal vibratory bowl. Color-coded wire prompts on a dedicated display plus voice announcements keep untrained operators in sequence.

Key features

Printing, feeding, stripping, twisting, inserting and crimping live in one floor-standing station — the operator only threads the printed tube, and the color prompt screen plus voice announcement tell them which wire comes next
Servo crimping with freely adjustable crimp height produces the square four-sided ferrule crimp control-cabinet inspectors expect, and custom die shapes are available
One universal vibratory bowl covers the ferrule range with simple adjustments instead of per-size bowls, and job parameters are stored for recall when products change
Ribbon, tube, wire take-out and ferrule sensors halt the cycle on missing material, so a distracted moment costs one lead rather than a batch of unmarked or empty crimps
Free sample test — send 2–3 meters of your wire with your ferrule spec, we run it on this machine and send you the video before you order

What it processes

Control cabinet and switchgear wiring where every ferruled lead must carry a printed number tube per the wiring list
Panel builders replacing separate tube printers, strippers and crimping tools with one seated workstation
Electrical equipment plants producing marked internal leads in 0.3–6 mm² sizes in repeat batches

Suited for: marked ferrule leads — every wire that needs a printed PVC number tube and a servo-crimped bootlace ferrule, produced at one seated station by one operator. Not suited for: ferrule crimping without marking tubes — the WM-3116 bootlace ferrule servo crimping machine covers 0.3–16 mm² ferrules in a simpler benchtop format — nor fully automatic double-end crimping of small unmarked wires, which belongs to the WM-3202 automatic double-end crimping machine at 3,800+ pcs/h on AWG 18–28.

Number-tube work lives or dies on sequence discipline — the wrong legend on the right wire is worse than no legend at all. This machine’s answer is to keep the operator in the loop for threading while the screen shows the next wire’s color and a voice prompt calls it out, and sensors confirm ribbon, tube, wire and ferrule before each crimp. Send us your wiring list and wire samples, and we will run your actual job on camera before you order.

WM-393 — common questions

How does the number tube get onto the wire?

The machine prints the tube legend, cuts and presents the tube, and the operator threads it onto the stripped wire by hand — insertion depth is then set by motor, not by a mechanical stop. That one manual step is what keeps the machine simple and priced as a workstation rather than a full automatic line, while still holding about 3.2 seconds per finished lead.

Can it print my own wire numbers and letters?

Yes. Legends are typed directly on the 10-inch touchscreen or downloaded by USB, in Chinese or English characters, printed forward or reverse on 10–40 mm of PVC tube by thermal-transfer ribbon. Ribbon comes in 50 m and 100 m rolls and the machine warns when ribbon or tube runs out.

My wires are below 0.5 mm² — will it still work?

0.3 mm² wire and ferrules are supported by customization — the machine needs fixtures matched to your material. Send 2–3 meters of your actual wire and your ferrule samples; we fit the tooling, run it on camera and send you the video before you commit.
