Semi-Automatic Pneumatic Wire Middle Stripping Machine WM-185

Name: Semi-Automatic Pneumatic Wire Middle Stripping Machine WM-185
Brand: Wiromac
SKU: WM-185

HS Code 8463.90 700–900 pcs/h

The WM-185 is a single-station pneumatic machine that opens an insulation window in the middle of a wire or cable. The operator lays the piece into the die, and one 4-second mechanical action scores and opens a 40–50 mm window — custom dies cover other window sizes — holding tolerance within 1‰ at 700–900 pieces per hour. Running on AC 220 V and 5 kg/cm² shop air, the 600 × 600 mm cabinet rolls on casters and weighs 65 kg.

Key features

One-action window opening — place the cable in the die, and the pneumatic press scores and opens the mid-span window in a single 4-second stroke
Die-defined window geometry — length and incision depth live in the tooling, not in operator skill, so every window on every shift comes out the same
Blades score to jacket depth set by the die, opening the outer insulation while the conductors underneath stay untouched
Free sample test — send 2–3 meters of your cable with the window spec, we run it on this machine and send you the video before you order

What it processes

Mid-span jacket windows on pre-cut cable for grounding taps, solder joints and branch splices
Appliance, automotive and equipment harness sections that need bare windows opened before welding or terminal piercing
Multi-model or lower-volume harness shops where a semi-automatic station is faster to changeover than programming an automatic line

Suited for: opening mid-span insulation windows on pre-cut wire and cable — a die-defined 40–50 mm window (custom sizes by tooling) placed by fixture, repeated 700–900 times an hour by one operator. Not suited for: cutting to length, end stripping or programmable multi-window work — for up to 32 individually programmed windows plus cutting and end stripping on 1–30 mm² wire, pick the WM-174Z automatic middle stripping machine; for multi-core sheathed cable that needs cut, end strip and middle strip in one automatic pass, the WM-1130HZ multi-core cut and strip machine covers 6–30 mm² jackets.

A shorter window on finer wire runs on the WM-1217 automatic middle stripping machine instead: 0.5–4.0 mm² wire, a 20 mm window set against a graduated rail along a 2-metre worktop, no closer than 100 mm to the wire end. That machine publishes a wire range and no hourly output; this one publishes an hourly output and a window size and matches the tooling to your cable. Pick by which of the two your job is defined by — window length first, then whether your wire falls inside 0.5–4.0 mm².

Unusual jackets and window specs are verified before purchase: send 2–3 meters of your actual cable and we run it on this machine on video before you commit.

WM-185 — common questions

How is the WM-185 different from an automatic middle stripping machine?

It is a single-station bench of one job — it does not feed, measure or cut the wire. The operator loads a pre-cut piece and the press opens the window where the fixture locates it, which keeps the machine simple, compact and quick to changeover. If you need programmable multi-window stripping with cutting and end stripping in one automatic pass, that is the WM-174Z; for multi-core sheathed cable processed automatically end to end, the WM-1130HZ.

Can the window length or position be changed?

The standard die opens a 40–50 mm window, and custom dies are made to your requirement — tell us the window length, its position along the piece and the cable outer diameter, and the tooling is matched to it. Because the geometry sits in the die, switching products means swapping tooling rather than re-training operators.

Which cables will it handle?

The die is matched to your cable's outer diameter and jacket, so suitability is confirmed per cable rather than from a generic range. Send us 2–3 meters of the actual cable with your window spec — we run it on this machine and send you the trial video before you commit to the order.
