Corrugated Tube Cutting Machine with Built-In 30 kg Pay-Off Reel WM-162
The WM-162 turns a full coil of corrugated conduit into counted, cut-to-length pieces without a separate pay-off stand. Its built-in reel carries coils up to 30 kg, and guide pulleys with a buffer arm pay the tube off smoothly while belt feeding pulls it through the cutting head. It processes convoluted tube from 3 to 32 mm at any length from 10 to 9,999 mm, programmed with batch counts on an English touchscreen. The 100 kg unit draws 1.5 kW on 220/110 V, 50/60 Hz and ships at 1450 × 700 × 1500 mm.

Key features
- Coil-to-pieces in one footprint — the pay-off reel is part of the machine, so a 30 kg coil loads once and runs out without floor tangles or an extra stand
- Buffer pulleys smooth out the jerky pull of a heavy coil, so the feed sees steady tube and the last meters cut as consistently as the first
- Belt feeding grips the corrugation profile across a wide contact area instead of pinching it, keeping thin-wall loom round and rib-intact
- Batch counting on the touchscreen delivers counted, identical pieces per bin — set length and quantity, press start, empty the tray
What it processes
- Automotive and EV wire harness plants pre-cutting wire loom to kitted lengths
- Panel builders and machine shops stocking cut conduit for cable dressing
- Tube converters selling counted, cut-to-length corrugated conduit packs
Suited for: corrugated wire-loom conduit from 3 to 32 mm, cut to counted lengths straight from a coil of up to 30 kg on the built-in reel. Not suited for: lengthwise splitting, solid pipe or cable — for cut plus lengthwise split in one pass, pick the WM-176 corrugated tube cutting and splitting machine, the same conduit format with a splitting blade; for wire itself, pick from the wire cutting and stripping machines.
Loom sizes and wall stock vary by supplier: send 2–3 meters of your actual tube and we run it on this machine on video before you commit.

WM-162 — common questions
Do I still need a pay-off stand or a second operator to feed the coil?
No — that is the point of this machine. The full coil sits on the integrated reel, the accumulator pulleys take up slack as the reel starts and stops, and the machine feeds itself until the coil runs out. One operator loads a coil, sets the program and collects finished pieces.
How consistent are the cut lengths from a bouncing, springy coil?
The buffer arm between reel and feed isolates the cutting head from coil spring-back, so the belt feed always pulls against steady tension. Program any length from 10 to 9,999 mm and the batch counter tracks output for you.
Can it slit the tube lengthwise, or cut wire and cable?
No — this machine cuts corrugated tube to length only. If you need conduit delivered pre-split for wrapping finished bundles, or need to process wire itself, see the other tube and pipe cutting machines and the wire cutting and stripping machines.
