Corrugated Tube Cutting and Splitting Machine for 4–32 mm Convoluted Conduit WM-176

›

The WM-176 cuts corrugated wire-loom tube to length and slits it lengthwise in the same pass, so the conduit arrives at the harness bench already opened for wrapping around assembled bundles. It processes convoluted tube from 4 to 32 mm diameter (32–42 mm customizable) at any cut length from 5 to 9,999 mm, set on the built-in touchscreen. Toothed-belt feeding grips the corrugations without crushing them, and a powered round blade produces square cut ends with a clean, straight split line. The 70 kg benchtop unit draws 1.0 kW on 220/110 V, 50/60 Hz.

Specifications

Key features

• Cut and split in one pass — every piece leaves the machine opened along its length, ready to snap over an already-built harness bundle
• Toothed-belt feed rides the corrugation profile, so thin-wall loom keeps its ribs and round shape instead of being crushed flat by rollers
• Batch counting from the touchscreen turns a coil of loom into counted, identical pieces without an operator watching a tape measure
• Covers the common automotive loom range of 4–32 mm with one blade setup, extendable to 42 mm on request

What it processes

• Automotive and EV harness plants pre-cutting split loom for bundle dressing
• Panel shops and machine builders sheathing finished cable runs with opened conduit
• Wire harness exporters supplying kitted, cut-to-length split corrugated tube

Suited for: corrugated wire-loom conduit from 4 to 32 mm diameter (32–42 mm by customization) cut to counted lengths, with or without a lengthwise split. For rigid PVC, PP or PE pipe cut to a length tolerance of 0.05 mm at 100 mm rather than to the ±0.5 mm a guillotine holds, the WM-591 high precision rotary knife pipe cutting machine runs a servo ball-screw feed through a Φ52 mm bore.

Not suited for: cable, solid tube or heat-shrink sleeve — heat shrink cuts clean on the WM-565N heat shrink tube cutting machine, the soft-sleeve line beside this conduit station; for wire itself, pick from the wire cutting and stripping machines.

Loom walls and materials vary by supplier: send 2–3 meters of your actual tube and we run it on this machine on video before you commit.

Above 42 mm, or when the conduit should feed itself off a bulk coil instead of being hand-fed, step up to the WM-583 corrugated tube cutting and splitting machine with powered tube feeder — same cut-and-split job, Φ5–60 mm, with a floor-standing 800 mm pay-off unit driving the head.

For much higher piece counts on the same 4–32 mm conduit, and for a slit whose position and length are programmed on screen rather than run down the whole piece, the WM-587 high-speed corrugated pipe cutting and slitting machine reaches 100,000 pieces per hour on a servo slitting knife, still as a benchtop unit, and also takes PVC and heat-shrinkable thin-wall pipe.

Going the other way — very short pieces, or tubing that is not only corrugated conduit — the WM-584 flexible tube cutting and splitting machine runs to Φ38 mm at 60–210 cuts per minute, holds ±0.1 mm as an absolute figure and takes cut lengths from 0.1 to 99,999.9 mm; it is also rated for silicone, rubber, medical and water tube, where this machine is built for automotive loom alone.

The same bed is also built with a rotary cutting head driven by two air cylinders instead of the fixed disc blade, for operations that want the cut face finished without a second pass. It is not a published model with its own data sheet, so we quote it against your tube samples rather than against a spec table — tell us the tube and the cut quality you need.
