The WM-3236 finishes a sheathed multi-core cable into a housed connector at one station. The operator loads a pre-cut cable; the machine opens the outer jacket, strips every inner core to 0.5–10 mm within 0.05–0.1 mm, crimps an open-barrel terminal on each core at 1.5 T and pushes the whole set of terminals into one plastic housing fed from a vibratory bowl. It covers cores of Φ0.6–2.5 mm in cables of up to 12 cores, including AV, AVS, AVSS, CAVUS, KV, KIV, UL and IV Teflon types, and stands 1,265 × 1,200 × 1,750 mm at 300 kg.

Specifications

Key features

• One station covers the whole cable end — the outer jacket is opened, every inner core is stripped, every core gets its own crimped terminal and the terminals are loaded into a single housing, so a job that normally crosses three benches leaves as a finished connector
• Jacket opening is rated by core count rather than by one blanket figure — 34 mm and up on 2 to 5 core cable, 40 mm and up on 6 to 12 core cable — because a wider fan of cores needs more free length to spread into the housing cavities
• Core stripping holds 0.5 to 10 mm with a 0.05 to 0.1 mm deviation, tight enough that thin cores land in the crimp barrel with a repeatable amount of copper showing
• 1.5 T press with an open horizontal feed continuous terminal reel — sized for the small open-barrel terminals that fit Φ0.6 to 2.5 mm cores, rather than a heavier press that has to be dialled back
• Housings are fed automatically from a vibratory bowl and rail, so the operator handles cable only and never picks a connector out of a bin
• Separate vision checks on the two critical stages — the working page carries a terminal check and an insertion check with their own left–right and front–rear positions, plus running good, current and NG counters
• Runs Teflon-insulated cable — AV, AVS, AVSS, CAVUS, KV, KIV, UL and IV Teflon are all in the rated wire list, not only soft PVC
• Free sample test — send your cable, terminal reel and housings and we run your exact assembly on this machine, then send you the video before you order

What it processes

• Sheathed control and signal cable terminated into a single multi-way connector — 2 to 12 cores, cores Φ0.6 to 2.5 mm
• Appliance, instrument and equipment leads where a jacketed cable has to arrive as a plug-in assembly rather than as loose crimped cores
• Teflon, KV and KIV insulated multi-core cable that a blade-only bench setup tends to nick
• Harness shops running mixed batches, where one operator and one machine replace a jacket-stripping bench, a crimping press and a hand-insertion bench
• Low- and medium-volume work that does not justify a full automatic cut-to-housing line

Suited for: sheathed multi-core cable that has to leave the bench as a finished plug-in assembly — up to 12 cores of Φ0.6 to 2.5 mm, jacket opened 34 mm or more on 2–5 core cable and 40 mm or more on 6–12 core cable, every core stripped to 0.5–10 mm within 0.05–0.1 mm, crimped at 1.5 T and inserted into one housing. It is the machine for mixed batches and moderate volume, where the cable is cut to length beforehand and one operator feeds it in.

Not suited for: work that has to start from the reel and cut its own leads. If cutting belongs in the same pass, the WM-373 wire crimping and connector housing insertion machine cuts 40–3,000 mm and fills housings up to 3 rows of 16 positions at 1,200 pins/h. Assemblies needing a housing on both ends go to the WM-376 double-end crimping and housing insertion machine (AWG 32–16, up to 1,600 holes/h).

It is also not the machine when there is no jacket to open. Separate discrete wires that have to be cut, stripped and housed as a set belong on the WM-3235 hot stripping, crimping and housing insertion machine (three wires per assembly, AWG 20–28, 450 pcs/h).

If the cores only need stripping and crimping and no housing at all, two lighter benchtop machines suit that stripping-and-crimping job: the WM-3226 core wire stripping and crimping machine covers 1–12 cores at 700–800 pcs/h and 85 kg but cannot run PTFE or silicone, and the WM-3232 multi-core cable stripping and crimping machine covers 2–14 cores in AWG 22–30 at 1,000–1,300 pcs/h. For 2- and 3-core round power cable in volume with staggered core lengths, the WM-399 2-core and 3-core cable stripping and crimping machine runs 1,200–1,500 pcs/h with a 4 T press.

If the cable needs only cutting and stripping with no terminals, the WM-1223 multi-core sheathed cable cutting and stripping machine handles Φ2–10 mm cable in 2–8 cores. And if the ends must be sealed for a waterproof connector rather than housed, the WM-3222 wire stripping, seal insertion and crimping machine fits rubber seals and crimps on φ1.0–4.0 mm wire at 1,200–1,500 pcs/h.

Housing tooling, the separating comb and the applicator are all matched to your connector, so acceptance happens on your parts: send 2–3 meters of your cable together with your terminal reel and a bag of housings, and we run the strip, crimp and insertion cycle on this machine on video before you commit.
