Automatic Wire Cut and Strip Machine with 32-Segment Middle Stripping WM-174Z

Name: Automatic Wire Cut and Strip Machine with 32-Segment Middle Stripping WM-174Z
Brand: Wiromac
SKU: WM-174Z

CE Certified HS Code 8463.90 1–30 mm² 2,000 pcs/h

The WM-174Z cuts and strips wire from 1 to 30 mm² and, unlike an end-strip-only machine, opens insulation windows anywhere along the piece — up to 32 middle-strip segments at any position and length, or an unlimited number when evenly spaced. Heads full-strip to 190 mm or half-strip to 9,999 mm; tails full-strip to 80 mm with the same 9,999 mm half-strip reach. Sixteen belt-drive wheels feed wire up to Φ16 without embossing, holding cut lengths from 1 to 99,999.99 mm within 0.002 × L at up to 2,000 pieces per hour, programmed on a 7-inch touchscreen.

Key features

Middle stripping puts bare-copper windows exactly where solder taps, ground bonds or piercing terminals land — up to 32 individually placed segments per wire
Half-stripping to 9,999 mm leaves the insulation slug on the strands, so ends arrive at the crimp station untwisted, unfrayed and ready to pull clean
16-wheel belt feeding spreads clamping force along the wire, so soft jackets from 1 to 30 mm² show no embossing or scratch marks
Servo tool post lands high-speed-steel blades within 0.002 × L across everything from short jumpers to 99-meter runs, at up to 2,000 pieces per hour

What it processes

Grounding jumpers and tap wires with mid-span bonding windows
Lighting strings and busbar harnesses soldered at fixed intervals along one conductor
Appliance and automotive leads that need half-stripped ends for clean crimp feeding

Suited for: single-jacket wire from 1 to 30 mm² needing end strips, half strips or programmed mid-span insulation windows — up to 32 segments per piece. Not suited for: core-by-core processing of sheathed multi-core cable or wire above 30 mm² — for sheath-plus-core work, pick the WM-168HT multi-core cut and strip machine, which strips jacket and cores in one pass; heavier wire runs on the WM-1450 thick cable machine up to 150 mm².

Need more windows or more throughput? The WM-190 middle stripping machine programs 50 segments instead of 32, covers 0.75–30 mm² through a Φ18 mm pass and runs 3,500 pcs/hour — at the cost of a shorter half-strip, 1,500 mm on side A against the 9,999 mm this machine reaches.

Unusual insulations can be verified before purchase: send 2–3 meters of your actual wire and we run it on this machine on video before you commit.

WM-174Z — common questions

What is middle stripping actually used for?

Any joint that lands in the middle of a run instead of at the ends — solder taps on LED strings, ground bonds, spliced branch circuits, resistance-welded shunts. The WM-174Z opens each window to programmed position and length, so downstream stations stop hand-scoring insulation with a knife.

What is the difference between full stripping and half stripping here?

Full stripping pulls the insulation slug completely off, leaving bare copper — up to 190 mm at the head and 80 mm at the tail. Half stripping cuts the insulation but leaves the slug sitting on the strands, protecting them from fraying in transit; the operator twists it off at assembly. Half strips program up to 9,999 mm on both ends.

Does it strip the inner cores of sheathed multi-core cable?

No — its blades work one insulation layer at a time, so on sheathed cable it opens the outer jacket only. Jacket-plus-core processing in one pass belongs to the multi-core machines in the wire cutting and stripping category.
