Semi-Automatic Multi-Core Cable Core Wire Stripping and Crimping Machine, 2–14 Cores, AWG 22–30 WM-3232

›

The WM-3232 terminates the inner cores of multi-core cable that arrives with its jacket already opened. The operator presents the cable end; the machine strips each core 0 to 10 mm and crimps a reel-fed terminal onto it, 2 to 14 cores per cable, on inner core wire from AWG 22 to AWG 30. The jacket opening can be as short as 20 mm. Rated output is 1,000 to 1,300 pieces per hour from a 2-tonne press with a 30 mm stroke, with terminal-presence, wire-presence and fault alarm detection built in and crimp force monitoring available as an option. It runs on AC 220 V at 0.8 kW plus 0.5 to 0.7 MPa of shop air, and stands 1,500 × 600 × 1,450 mm at 160 kg.

Specifications

Key features

• Handles up to 14 cores per cable and jacket openings as short as 20 mm — the two limits that decide whether a dense multi-core end can be machine-terminated at all
• Inner core strip length is set anywhere from 0 to 10 mm on the touchscreen, so long-barrel and short-barrel terminals both get the bare length their crimp spec asks for
• Built-in detection for terminal presence, wire presence and fault alarms, with crimp force monitoring (CFM) and air pressure inspection available as options — the machine stops on a bad cycle instead of adding it to the box
• English touchscreen with separate strip, panning and crimp recipes — the traverse between cores is a stored number, not an operator's eye
• 2-tonne press with a 30 mm stroke for reel-fed continuous terminals, running on one 220 V outlet and shop air at 0.5–0.7 MPa
• Free sample test — send 2 to 3 meters of your cable and a reel of your terminals, we run them on this machine and send you the video before you order

What it processes

• Multi-core signal, control and appliance cable with 2 to 14 fine conductors that terminate individually into housings or blocks
• AWG 22–30 inner cores where hand stripping nicks strands and hand crimping cannot hold crimp height across a shift
• Dense cable ends with little slack — constructions whose jacket can only be opened 20 to 40 mm before the cores have to be terminated
• Production runs where every crimp has to be verified, using terminal and wire presence detection with CFM as an option

Suited for: multi-core cable that arrives with its jacket already opened, where 2 to 14 fine cores (AWG 22–30) each need a 0–10 mm strip and a reel-fed terminal, at 1,000–1,300 pieces per hour with terminal and wire presence detection watching every cycle.

Not suited for: benches with no compressed air. This machine is pneumatic and will not run without 0.5–0.7 MPa of shop air, and at 160 kg over 1,500 mm it wants a dedicated station. If you need the same job done from a wall socket alone, on a lighter 85 kg cabinet, the WM-3226 semi-automatic core wire stripping and crimping machine covers 1 to 12 cores at 700–800 pcs/h with no air supply at all. It is also not for cable that still has its sheath on: for 2-core and 3-core round power cable that needs jacket stripping, staggered core stripping and a terminal on every core in one pass, the WM-399 2-core and 3-core cable stripping and crimping machine runs 1,200–1,500 pcs/h, and to cut multi-core sheathed cable to length and open the jacket upstream of this bench, the WM-1223 multi-core sheathed cable cutting and stripping machine handles Φ2–10 mm cable with 2 to 8 cores at 600–1,000 pcs/h. If the exposed cores should be tinned rather than terminated, the WM-4718 semi-automatic multi-core cable stripping and tinning machine is the same class of operator-loaded machine. Anything outside AWG 22–30 or 14 cores, tell us the construction and we will source it through custom machines.

Two numbers on this machine’s data sheet are worth more than the headline throughput. The first is the 20 mm minimum jacket opening. Dense multi-core ends are usually terminated by hand not because the crimping is hard but because there is nowhere to hold the cable — most bench machines want 40 mm or more of free core before they can grip and index, and a connector that sits close to the breakout simply does not give it. The second is the 0 to 10 mm strip range, which is what lets one machine serve both a short-barrel signal terminal and a long-barrel power terminal without a tooling argument.

The rest is repeatability. Fourteen cores means fourteen chances per cable to strip short, nick a strand or crimp at the wrong height, and by the end of a shift a hand-built cable end reflects the operator more than the drawing. Here the strip length, the traverse between cores and the crimp position are stored recipe values, and the presence detectors stop the cycle instead of passing a defect down the line — with crimp force monitoring available when your customer wants the evidence and not just the assurance.

Send us 2 to 3 meters of the cable you actually run plus a reel of your terminals. We put them through this machine, and you see the finished cores on video before you commit to anything.
