High-Speed Corrugated Pipe Cutting and Slitting Machine for Φ4–32 mm Thin-Wall Tube WM-587

›

The WM-587 cuts thin-wall pipe to length and slits it lengthwise in the same pass, at rates up to 100,000 pieces per hour depending on tube length and size. It takes corrugated conduit, PVC pipe and heat-shrinkable tube from Φ4 to 32 mm (Φ35 mm maximum passage) at any cut length from 1 to 999,999.99 mm, holding tolerance within 0.003 × L. The slit is programmed rather than fixed — any position, any length, or continuous along the whole piece — with a servo driving the slitting knife and stepless speed set on the 7-inch interface. A 10-wheel belt drive feeds without embossing or scratching, pinch-roller height is entered digitally per diameter, and the whole machine is a 680 × 570 × 430 mm, 85 kg benchtop unit that needs no compressed air.

Specifications

Key features

• The slit is a program, not a fixture — set it at any position, over any length, or run it continuously down the whole piece, and change it between batches by typing numbers instead of repositioning a knife
• A servo drives the slitting knife with stepless speed on the screen, so the split line stays clean across stiff corrugated conduit and soft thin-wall PVC alike
• Volume-class output — up to 100,000 pieces/hour — from an 85 kg benchtop machine measuring 680 × 570 × 430 mm, so the throughput does not cost you a floor bay
• 10-wheel belt feeding grips the corrugation profile without embossing or scratching, and pinch-roller height is entered digitally for each diameter instead of shimmed by trial and error
• No compressed air anywhere in the machine — one 220 V socket (110 V optional) is the entire installation
• Free sample test — send 2–3 metres of your actual pipe, we run it on this machine and send you the video before you order

What it processes

• Automotive and EV harness plants pre-cutting split loom for dressing already-terminated bundles
• Panel builders and appliance factories kitting counted lengths of conduit, opened or closed
• Thin-wall PVC pipe and heat-shrinkable tube cut to counted lengths on the same machine
• Tube converters supplying pre-slit conduit as a packaged product

Suited for: thin-wall pipe from Φ4 to 32 mm — corrugated conduit, PVC pipe, heat-shrinkable tube — cut to counted lengths and slit lengthwise at any programmed position, at volume rates from a benchtop machine. Solid-wall rigid pipe is a different job: the belt feed here is built for corrugated conduit, so for PVC, PP and PE pipe held to 0.05 mm at 100 mm the WM-591 high precision rotary knife pipe cutting machine clamps and cuts on a ball-screw axis instead — at 1,000 pieces per hour rather than this machine’s rate.

Not suited for: pipe that will not pass Φ35 mm, metal tube, or coil handling. Above this range, the WM-584 flexible tube cutting and splitting machine cuts and splits up to Φ38 mm at 60–210 cuts per minute, and the WM-583 corrugated tube cutting and splitting machine with powered tube feeder covers Φ5–60 mm with an 800 mm powered pay-off. Copper, aluminium and armoured pipe belong on the WM-183 metal tube cutting machine.

If you do not need the lengthwise slit but do need the coil to feed itself, the WM-177FY high-speed corrugated tube cutting machine is the same Φ4–32 mm, 100,000 pieces/hour platform with the pay-off wheel enclosed in its cabinet — cut only, 260 kg, floor-standing.

For a slower, simpler cut-and-split bench machine on automotive loom alone, the WM-176 corrugated tube cutting and splitting machine covers 4–32 mm (42 mm on request) at cut lengths from 5 to 9,999 mm.

Wall thickness and rib pitch differ by pipe supplier: send 2–3 metres of your actual tube and we run it on this machine on video before you commit.
