Servo Double-End Terminal Crimping Machine for Thin Wire, AWG 30–14 WM-3210

›

The WM-3210 is a full-servo double-head crimping machine built around thin wire: it takes AWG 30 up to AWG 14, cuts from 26 to 9,999 mm, strips 0.5 to 35 mm and crimps reel terminals on one or both ends at 2.0 T. Five Mitsubishi servo axes and two stepper axes move the wire, so short leads leave the machine at 4,000 to 4,800 pieces per hour (30–200 mm) while cut length holds inside ±0.02% beyond one metre.

Specifications

Key features

• Full-servo wire handling — five Mitsubishi servo axes plus two stepper axes on four TBI ball screws and SKF bearings, instead of belt-and-cam feeding
• Reaches AWG 30 at the thin end and still crimps AWG 14, so one machine covers signal wire and light power leads
• Strip length to 35 mm at either end; above 12 mm the cycle half-strips first so long insulation slugs stay on the conductor until they are pulled clear
• Both press stations take OTP horizontal and straight applicators; European-style applicators can be customized, so existing tooling usually carries over
• Cut length programmable from 26 mm to just under 10 m and held inside ±0.02% past the one-metre mark

What it processes

• Fine hookup and jumper leads, AWG 30 to AWG 14, crimped on one or both ends
• Ring, spade and open-barrel reel terminals on appliance, lighting and control wiring
• Electronics and LED harness shops that need short leads in volume without hand-feeding a bench press

Suited for: single discrete wire from AWG 30 to AWG 14 that has to be cut to length, stripped at both ends and crimped with reel terminals on one or both ends — especially the thin end of that range, where a servo-driven feed earns its price in scrap avoided. Not suited for: wire above AWG 14 or cable lugs beyond the 2.0 T class — those belong on the 35-ton servo cable lug crimping machine, which crimps terminals up to 120 mm². Multicore sheathed cable is a different process altogether; start with the sheathed cable crimping and tinning machine for 2–10 core cable, OD 2.0–6.5 mm. If the lead also has to end up inside a connector housing, the WM-376 double-end crimping and housing insertion machine does both in one pass for AWG 32–16, and if the wire needs a waterproof seal before the crimp, the WM-377 double-end seal insertion and crimping machine covers AWG 28–16.

Where this machine sits against our other automatic double-end crimper: the WM-3202 covers AWG 18–28 in a shorter frame (800 × 700 mm footprint, 330 kg) and holds ±0.2% on cut length. The WM-3210 is the longer, heavier machine — 1,380 × 750 mm and 360 kg — and buys you three things with that space: the range extends in both directions (AWG 30 at the fine end, AWG 14 at the heavy end), strip length goes to 35 mm instead of 10 mm, and cut tolerance tightens to ±0.02%. Pick the WM-3202 if your whole product mix lives inside AWG 18–28 and bench space is scarce; pick the WM-3210 if you run signal wire, need long strips, or want the tighter length tolerance.

Both of those machines run terminals off a reel through an applicator. If your terminals arrive loose in a bag with the insulation sleeve already fitted — pre-insulated rings, forks and quick-disconnects — neither one will feed them. The WM-3212 double-end pre-insulated terminal crimping machine orients loose pre-insulated terminals in a vibratory bowl, twists the strands before each crimp, and reaches AWG 10 at the heavy end, at 900 pieces per hour.

Terminals and wire vary more than datasheets do. Send 2–3 metres of your wire and a strip of your terminals — we set the machine up, run your sample on camera, and you judge the crimp before you commit to the order.
