Rotary Blade Cable Cutting and Stripping Machine for 6–120 mm² Multi-Core Cable WM-170X

Name: Rotary Blade Cable Cutting and Stripping Machine for 6–120 mm² Multi-Core Cable WM-170X
Brand: Wiromac
SKU: WM-170X

CE Certified HS Code 8463.90 6–120 mm² 800–1,000 pcs/h

The WM-170X cuts multi-core cable from 6 to 120 mm² and strips both the outer jacket and the insulation of every inner core in one program, using a rotary blade that circles the cable for a clean cut on thick, tough jackets. Twenty-four belt-drive wheels feed cable up to Φ24 mm without embossing, cutting 1 to 999,999.99 mm at ±0.2% (0.002×L). Full stripping reaches 300 mm and half stripping 1,000 mm on the head end, at 800 to 1,000 pieces per hour. A floor-standing 1,400 × 720 × 1,460 mm frame carries a 7-inch touchscreen on a swing arm.

Key features

Rotary blade circles the cable instead of biting from two sides — round, scoreless jacket cuts even on tough rubber and double-insulated constructions
Jacket window plus per-core stripping in one program means a 4-core 95 mm² cable leaves the machine ready for lugs, not for a second station
24-wheel belt feed with digitally set pressure protects soft jackets while still pulling heavy cable through 999,999.99 mm programs
Six programmable layers cover jacket and core recipes per cable type, recalled from the touchscreen between batches

What it processes

EV, energy-storage and industrial power harnesses built from 6–120 mm² multi-core cable
Switchgear and machine-builder cables where every core needs its own strip length
Cable shops upgrading from hand knives on thick sheathed cable to programmed rotary cutting

Suited for: multi-core sheathed cable from 6 to 120 mm² (up to Φ24 mm OD) where the jacket and every core need programmed stripping — EV, energy-storage and switchgear harnesses. Not suited for: thin single-core wire below 6 mm² — for that, pick the WM-167 benchtop cut and strip machine, which runs 0.1–10 mm² single-core wire at several times this machine’s piece rate.

Multi-core constructions vary — send 2–3 meters of your actual cable and we run it on this machine on video before you commit. See how rotary cut-and-strip fits an EV wire harness line.

If your cable is single-run large gauge rather than multi-core — mixed sizes from 10 to 120 mm², thick or shielded jackets, no need to strip individual inner cores — the WM-193 rotary knife large gauge stripping machine is the heavier 32-wheel full-servo platform with a Φ7–30 mm guide range and a head that re-sizes itself between cable specs.

WM-170X — common questions

Why a rotary blade instead of V-blades on thick multi-core cable?

A rotary blade orbits the jacket and scores it evenly all the way round, so thick or elastic sheaths come off without flattening the cable or nicking the cores underneath. V-blades close from two sides and struggle to keep depth uniform on large round cable.

Can each inner core get a different strip length?

Yes — the program treats the jacket and the cores as separate layers. Side A strips fully to 300 mm or half-strips to 1,000 mm, side B to 150 mm full and 500 mm half, so staggered terminations for distribution blocks come straight off the machine.

Is it the right machine for thin control wire below 6 mm²?

No — the feed and rotary head are sized for 6–120 mm² cable up to Φ24 mm. For 0.1–30 mm² wire at several thousand pieces per hour, the benchtop cut and strip machines in this category are the economical fit.
