Benchtop Cable Shield Brushing Machine with Forward and Reverse Rotation WM-821

Name: Benchtop Cable Shield Brushing Machine with Forward and Reverse Rotation WM-821
Brand: Wiromac
SKU: WM-821

HS Code 8479.89 Shielded wires (wound & braided shields)

The WM-821 is a 7.5 kg benchtop brushing machine that combs open the shield of screened wire — both wound (spiral-served) and braided shields — over brushing lengths up to 50 mm. Its twin rotating brush wheels run in forward or reverse so the direction always opens the shield instead of tightening it, with wheel speed set by dial to suit each wire. A clear safety guard with a positioning function covers the wheels, and the unit runs on a low-voltage 24 V DC drive from ordinary bench mains power.

Key features

Forward and reverse rotation — the brush wheels spin either way, so spiral-served shields unwrap with their lay and braided mesh combs open instead of being wound tighter
Dial-controlled wheel speed matches the brushing action to the wire — gentle on fine signal braid, firmer on coarse shield mesh
Clear safety guard with positioning function keeps fingers away from the rotating wheels while locating the wire end for repeatable results
7.5 kg benchtop format on a 24 V DC drive — plugs in at any bench, no compressed air needed

What it processes

Wound (spiral-served) and braided shielded wires after jacket stripping
Shield pigtail and fold-back preparation on signal and control cable before grounding or ferrule termination
Benchside shield opening in appliance, automotive and industrial harness assembly

Suited for: brushing open the exposed shield — wound or braided — on screened wire at the bench, with brushing lengths up to 50 mm combed straight for pigtails, fold-backs and ground terminations. Not suited for: brushing lengths beyond 50 mm or heavy shielded cable — for 10–200 mm openings on cable up to 100 mm², pick the WM-819 shielded cable braid brushing machine. It also does not cut the shield to length or fold it back — for inline brush, cut and fold-back on OD 3–9 mm cable, see the WM-181 shield braid cut and fold-back machine; for trimming the shielding layer on larger cable, the WM-192 pneumatic shield layer cutting machine cuts shield OD 3–16 mm.

Send 2–3 meters of your shielded wire and we brush your actual shield on video before you commit to the order.

WM-821 — common questions

Which shield types can the WM-821 brush open?

Both main constructions — braided mesh shields and wound (spiral-served) shields — on any shielded wire whose jacket has already been stripped back. The brushing length is set anywhere up to 50 mm, and the exposed shield is combed straight in one pass.

Why does it need forward and reverse rotation?

A shield has a lay direction. Brushing a spiral-served shield the wrong way winds it tighter onto the core; brushing with the lay unwraps it cleanly. Selectable rotation lets you match the wheel direction to each wire's shield construction, and the speed dial fine-tunes the action so strands are combed open without being torn off.

What if my brushing length is longer than 50 mm or my cable is heavy-gauge?

This benchtop unit covers shield openings up to 50 mm. For brushing lengths of 10–200 mm or shielded cable up to 100 mm² — EV high-voltage cable included — step up to the WM-819 shielded cable braid brushing machine with twin rotating brush tracks.
