Parallel Twin Cable Splitting and Stripping Machine for 2–12 Pin Flat Cable WM-1227
The WM-1227 takes parallel twin cable — the bonded two-conductor cord used for speakers, LED feeds and appliance leads — and multi-pin flat cable up to 12 pins, and cuts, splits and strips it in one automatic cycle. Conductors run 0.1 to 10 mm² each, cutting length 1 to 99,999.9 mm at a 0.002 × L tolerance, and the split runs 0.1 to 150 mm back from the end. Head stripping reaches 25 mm and tail stripping 80 mm, with up to 15 middle-strip sections per piece, at 3,000 to 8,000 pieces per hour from a 400 × 300 × 330 mm, 40 kg head.

Key features
- Splitting run of 0.1 to 150 mm — the web between conductors is opened far enough back that each tail is free to route to its own terminal, not just nicked at the tip
- Long strip windows for this class of machine — 25 mm at the head and 80 mm at the tail, so lug, screw and IDC terminations all fall inside the range
- Up to 15 middle-strip sections per piece for mid-span taps and breakouts, programmed by position along the cable
- 4-wheel drive feed with adjustable cable pressure — soft parallel jackets pass without crushing while the stepper feed holds 0.002 × L on length
- Automatic feeding with output count and timing start, so a batch runs unattended once the piece count is entered
- Free sample test — send 2–3 meters of your actual cable, we run it on this machine and send you the video before you order
What it processes
- Speaker wire, LED strip feed cord and audio zip cord cut, split and stripped for terminals
- Two-core appliance and lamp leads prefabricated to length with both ends opened
- Multi-pin flat cable up to 12 conductors for instruments, motors and toy wiring
- Harness shops replacing hand knife splitting of parallel-bonded cable
Suited for: parallel twin cable and multi-pin flat cable up to 12 pins that fits a 3 × 20 mm conduit, with conductors of 0.1–10 mm², where the job needs a long split (0.1–150 mm) and long strip windows — 25 mm at the head, 80 mm at the tail — plus middle-strip sections along the run.
Not suited for: flat cable thicker or wider than the 3 × 20 mm conduit, heavy flat power cable, round sheathed cable, or work that ends with a terminal on every conductor. For wider signal ribbon, the WM-1220 flat ribbon cable cutting and stripping machine passes 2–12 pin cable through a 100 × 22 × 2.8 mm channel, though its strip windows stop at 15 mm. For 2-pin zip cord alone, with no middle stripping needed, the WM-182 flat cable cutting, stripping and splitting machine strips 0.1–30 mm at 1,000–2,000 pieces per hour. For flat power cable, the WM-161PX flat cable cutting, slitting and stripping machine covers 10–120 mm² conductors through a Φ30 mm guide. If the two conductors arrive as two separate loose wires rather than bonded side by side, the WM-186 two-wire cut and strip machine runs both leads in parallel up to 6 mm². If every conductor also needs a crimped terminal, the WM-3215 flat ribbon cable double-end crimping machine splits, strips and crimps 3–20 pin cable.

WM-1227 — common questions
What is the difference between splitting and stripping on this machine?
Splitting cuts the thin insulation web that bonds the conductors side by side, so each conductor becomes a free tail — on the WM-1227 that split runs 0.1 to 150 mm back from the end. Stripping then removes insulation from those tails, 25 mm at the head and up to 80 mm at the tail. Both happen in the same cycle, along with the cut to length.
How wide a cable fits, and how many conductors?
The limit is the guide conduit, which is 3 × 20 mm, and the machine slits 2 to 12 pins. Each conductor can be 0.1 to 10 mm². Send us your cable cross-section and we will check it against the conduit before you order, because a cable thicker than 3 mm will not pass however few conductors it has.
What is middle stripping used for here?
It opens a window of insulation somewhere along the cable instead of at an end — up to 15 sections on one piece. Harness builders use it for mid-span taps, splices and connectors that land partway down a run, which otherwise means a second hand operation with a knife.
Do the published dimensions include the stand and the conveyor?
No. The 400 × 300 × 330 mm and 40 kg figures are the processing head as rated by the factory. The aluminium worktable stand and the belt take-away conveyor shown in the photos are separate structures that carry the head and receive the finished pieces — tell us your bench height and the cut length you run and we will confirm the footprint of the complete line at quotation.
How many pieces per hour will I actually get?
The rating is 3,000 to 8,000 pieces per hour. The high end belongs to short pieces with a short split and no middle strip; long cuts, a 150 mm split and several middle-strip sections all pull the rate down because the feed moves more cable and the head cycles more times per piece. Give us your length, pin count and strip spec and we will quote the rate for your part rather than the headline number.
