Pneumatic Thick Cable Cutting Machine for Power Cable under 160 mm² WM-1221

›

The WM-1221 is a benchtop pneumatic cut-off station for heavy cable. A high-thrust air cylinder drives a tungsten-steel V-blade down a 50 mm stroke onto a matching V-anvil, severing cable under 160 mm² — up to Φ40 mm as standard — in one shot. There is no feeder, no screen and nothing to program. It runs on 0.4–0.7 MPa shop air and AC 220 V, weighs 35 kg and takes 400 × 450 mm of bench space.

Specifications

Key features

• One stroke, one clean end — the high-thrust cylinder carries enough force through the 50 mm stroke to sever cable under 160 mm² without a second pass
• V-blade closes into a matching V-anvil, so the cable is cradled while it is cut and the conductor stays round instead of being squashed flat
• Tungsten steel blade keeps its edge against stranded copper — sharp cut face, long service life between regrinds
• Large-capacity oil-water separator on the air inlet feeds the cylinder clean, lubricated air so the seals last
• Nothing to program and nothing to calibrate — set the regulator, lay the cable in the V, trigger the valve

What it processes

• Cutting heavy power, welding and EV cable to length at the bench or ahead of a lug crimping press
• Cable distributors and cable shops cutting reels down to customer order lengths
• Cut-off station on a repair or rework bench where only a clean end is needed and no stripping is involved

Suited for: severing thick power, welding and EV cable — anything under 160 mm² and up to Φ40 mm outer diameter — where the only requirement is a clean, square end and the length is set by the operator. Nothing to program, nothing to break, and it takes cable thicker than any of our automatic cut-and-strip machines will accept.

When the same cut has to be repeated to a programmed length instead of eyeballed against a mark, the WM-1222 automatic cable cutting machine feeds and cuts 1–150 mm² to length under touchscreen control at about 1,800 pieces per hour.

Not suited for: anything that has to be stripped as well as cut. For cut-and-strip in one pass on thick cable, use the WM-1450 thick cable cutting and stripping machine (10–150 mm², up to Φ30 mm) or the WM-165 round power cable cutting and stripping machine (up to 150 mm², 5–23 mm OD). For multi-core cable where the inner cores also need stripping, the WM-170X rotary blade machine covers 6–120 mm². It is also not a shield cutter — for trimming braided shielding back on coaxial and shielded cable, see the WM-192 pneumatic shielding layer cutting machine (shield OD 3–16 mm). And it does not cut tube or conduit — those belong with the tube and pipe cutting machines.

Blades and anvils are consumable and are stocked as spare parts. If your cable is larger than Φ40 mm, or has an unusual construction such as an armoured or double-jacketed build, send us 2–3 meters of the actual cable and we will cut it on this machine and send you the video and the cut end before you commit.
