High-Speed Cable Prefeeder for 60 kg Spools, up to 4 m/s WM-9153
The WM-9153 is a powered pay-off for wire and PVC cable of 0.5–10 mm² and up to Φ18 mm, taking spools to 600 mm diameter and 60 kg and feeding at 0–4 m/s. A proximity switch and a multi-speed inverter drive let it follow a fast cutter so the cutter's belts never pull against the reel — which is what keeps cut lengths from drifting as a heavy spool empties. It sits between the 50 kg WM-9150 and the 150 kg WM-9152.

Key features
- 4 m/s pay-off keeps up with high-speed cutters, in the same speed class as the 50 kg WM-9150 with 10 kg more on the spool
- Proximity-switch loop control with multi-speed inverter — when the cutter stops, the feeder stops; no overrun, no slack pile
- Spools to 600 mm and 60 kg on a shaft with guide rollers and pulleys, so the cutter's feed belts see a free-running wire instead of a braked reel
- 0.5–10 mm² and up to Φ18 mm covers hookup wire through mid-size sheathed cable
- Guide rollers and pulleys adjust by lever for cable diameter; an air cylinder controls the dancer
What it processes
- In front of a bench or floor cutter running a reel up to 60 kg
- Wire, cable and PVC cable in the 0.5–10 mm² band on high-speed cut-and-strip lines
Suited for: 0.5–10 mm² / Φ18 mm cable off a ≤60 kg, ≤600 mm spool, into a fast cutter. Not suited for: 150 kg coils — WM-9152. 250 kg coils — WM-9334. Small bench spools — WM-9332.
Send the spool drawing — flange diameter, width, bore and full weight. Two 60 kg reels do not brake the same way, and we set the dancer for yours before shipment.

WM-9153 — common questions
Cut lengths drifted after we put a full spool on. Is the cutter broken?
Usually not. A heavy reel adds drag and a light one can overrun, and the cutter's belts read both as length. This stand takes that load off the cutter. If you already have a WM-167 or a floor cutter, put this feeder in the same quote.
How is this different from the WM-9150 and the WM-9152?
WM-9150 is 50 kg, 4 m/s, 750 W. This one is 60 kg, 4 m/s, up to Φ18 mm. WM-9152 is the 150 kg, 70 m/min dancer stand for heavier coils.
Will it feed 25 mm² charging cable?
No — this stand covers 10 mm² and Φ18 mm. For heavier cable use the WM-9152 or the WM-9334.
What is the power draw and footprint?
Motor rating and packed dimensions are confirmed on the quote for your voltage. Send the spool drawing with the inquiry and we confirm the shaft fit at the same time.
