Automatic Hot Knife Webbing Cutting Machine for Material up to 220 mm Wide WM-572A
The WM-572A cuts webbing, elastic band, ribbon and braided belt up to 220 mm wide with a hot knife that fuses the cut face, so synthetic straps leave the machine with sealed, fray-free ends. Lengths program from 0.1 to 99,999.9 mm on the English panel, elastic compensation and precision calibration hold size on stretchy stock, and it delivers 121 cuts per minute. It stops itself when material runs out and keeps its settings through a power cut. Mounted on a wheeled stand with feed reel, it weighs 40 kg at 650 × 450 × 1,000 mm.

Key features
- 220 mm cutting width takes the widest webbing and elastic in this lineup — safety belt, wide hook-and-loop and broad braided band all clear the blade
- Hot knife fuses the cut face of nylon and polyester so pieces arrive fray-free, and the panel heater switch turns off for cold cutting where a melted edge is unwanted
- Dedicated elastic-compensation key with precision calibration corrects feed on stretchy stock, holding programmed lengths from 0.1 to 99,999.9 mm
- Runs with minimal watching — auto-stop when the reel runs empty, settings and counts retained through power-off, reel arm feeds spooled material smoothly
What it processes
- Hook-and-loop fastener squares and straps cut with sealed, fray-free edges
- Backpack belt, nylon webbing, shoelace and ribbon blanks for luggage and garment work
- Elastic band piece-cutting with length compensation for apparel and footwear assembly
Suited for: wide synthetic flat stock up to 220 mm — safety and backpack webbing, hook-and-loop, elastic band, ribbon and braided belt that must ship with fused, fray-free ends. Not suited for: angled or shaped cuts, round materials, or any wire and cable — for angled and shaped cuts, pick the WM-566 rotary blade shape cutting machine, the 45–135° angle-and-shape cutter for webbing and tape; corrugated conduit, PVC tube and heat shrink run on their own tube and pipe cutting machines.
Wide webs seal differently at the edges than narrow tape, so we prove it first: send 2–3 meters of your actual material and we cut it on this machine on video — sealed ends on camera — before you commit.

WM-572A — common questions
What materials and widths does the WM-572A handle?
Synthetic flat materials up to 220 mm wide — nylon and polyester webbing, braided belt, elastic band, ribbon, shoelace stock and hook-and-loop. The hot blade fuses these on the cut; natural fibers like cotton pass through but their edges do not seal.
What happens when a roll runs out in the middle of a batch?
A no-material detector stops the machine automatically instead of cutting air, and settings survive a power cut with automatic data saving. Load the next roll, and the batch continues where it stopped rather than starting the count over.
What is the WM-572A not designed for?
It makes straight, square cuts only — angled and shaped webbing cuts, round tube, corrugated conduit and heat shrink sleeve all belong on the other machines in the tube and pipe cutting category. It does not cut wire or cable.
