Automatic Heat Shrink Tubing Cutting Machine with Pneumatic Blade, Ø1–30 mm WM-585

›

The WM-585 cuts heat shrink tubing to length on a 570 × 490 × 460 mm bench frame. A pneumatic cylinder drives the blade through a 60 mm stroke across a 90 mm wide throat, taking tube from Ø1 to Ø30 mm at about 1,000 pieces an hour. Belt feeding carries the tube instead of pinching it, so the surface leaves the machine without embossing or scratch marks, and the pressure-wheel height is set as a digital value rather than by feel. Batches are programmed on a 7-inch human-machine interface. The machine runs on 220 V at 300 W plus 0.5–0.7 MPa shop air and weighs 70 kg net.

Specifications

Key features

• Pneumatic cut-off instead of a motor-driven chopper: the cylinder pushes the blade square through the wall in a 60 mm stroke, so the tube is severed rather than dragged
• 90 mm throat width takes large-bore tube that arrives flat on the belts, not only small round sleeving
• Belt feeding is rated by the manufacturer to leave no embossing or scratching — the difference between a usable part and a reject on printed or glossy tubing
• Pressure-wheel height is set as a digital value, so a changeover between wall thicknesses is a number to re-enter instead of a feel-based adjustment every operator makes differently
• Cutting energy comes from shop air rather than the drive motor, which is why the electrical load is only 300 W
• 110 V 50/60 Hz is a factory option for plants in North America and Japan

What it processes

• Pre-cutting heat shrink tubing into counted kit lengths for wire harness and cable assembly lines
• Printed or marked tubing where roller impressions on the surface would count as a defect
• Cut-to-length work on soft conduit and sleeving in harness preparation areas
• Mixed-size batches where the feed gap has to come back to the same setting at every changeover

Suited for: cut-to-length work on heat shrink tubing and soft sleeving from Ø1 to Ø30 mm where the surface has to come off the machine unmarked — printed tube, glossy tube, and shops that change size often enough that the feed gap needs to be set to a number rather than by feel. Not suited for: volume runs, or tube above Ø30 mm — for both, the WM-565N heat shrink tube cutting machine takes tube to Φ38 mm at 60–210 pieces a minute. Tube that also has to be slit lengthwise belongs on the WM-584 flexible tube cutting and splitting machine, and rope or webbing that must leave the machine with sealed, fray-free ends needs a hot blade — the WM-561 hot rope cutting machine seals rope, cord and webbing up to Φ20 mm as it cuts.

Compressed air is a site requirement, not an accessory: budget an air line at the workstation before the machine arrives, or tell us and we will quote an all-electric alternative from the same category.
