Pneumatic Wire Stripping Machine for 0.5–25 mm² Wires, No Blade Change WM-1216C
The WM-1216C is a benchtop pneumatic wire stripper that handles conductor sizes from 0.5 to 25 mm² with one universal V-blade — no blade change between wire sizes. It strips the inner core wires of sheathed and power cables as well as single wires, with stripping lengths of 3–50 mm at 1,500–2,000 pieces per hour. It runs on standard shop air (0.4–0.75 MPa) and weighs 30 kg, so it fits on any workbench.

Key features
- One V-blade covers 0.5–25 mm² — switch between wire sizes by turning the depth dial, not by changing blades
- Blade depth, strip stroke and return speed adjust with hand dials — an operator learns it in minutes
- Pneumatic drive with imported cylinder components; no motor to maintain
- Compact 30 kg benchtop body — drops into any harness line or repair bench with a standard air hose
What it processes
- Stripping inner core wires after the outer jacket of a sheathed or power cable has been removed
- Single-conductor wires from 0.5 to 25 mm² in panel building, motor and transformer shops
- Small harness workshops that change wire sizes many times a day and lose time on blade swaps
Suited for: stripping wire ends fast when your wire sizes change through the day — inner cores of sheathed/power cables and single wires, 0.5–25 mm², strip length up to 50 mm. Not suited for: cutting wire to length or full-automatic feeding — for that, pick the WM-164 automatic cut and strip machine (0.75–30 mm²), the dedicated cutting line to this stripping station; the WM-1216C strips, the WM-164 cuts and feeds.
Send us 2–3 meters of your actual wire and we run it on this machine on camera — you see your own wire stripped before you order.

WM-1216C — common questions
Do I need an air compressor to run the WM-1216C?
Yes. The machine is purely pneumatic and needs 0.4–0.75 MPa (about 60–110 psi) of clean shop air — any small workshop compressor covers this. There is no motor inside, which also means less maintenance.
Really no blade change between 0.5 mm² and 25 mm² wire?
Correct. The universal V-blade closes to a depth you set with the adjustment dial, so changing wire size is a few seconds of dialing instead of a blade swap. This is the main reason shops choose it over blade-cassette strippers.
Does it cut wire to length too?
No — the WM-1216C strips only. If you need measuring, cutting and stripping in one pass, look at the automatic cut and strip machines in the same category, or tell us your wire spec and daily output and we will recommend the right combination.
