Six-Axis Wire Twisting Machine for Twisted Pair Leads WM-4716

›

The WM-4716 lays six twisted pairs at the same time on six independent twisting axes, each driven by its own digital controller so turn count, direction, speed and delay are programmed station by station from an English keypad panel. One wire end is held in a common clamp bar while the powered spindle rotates the other, so the whole lead length comes out evenly laid — this is pair twisting along the wire, not the short strand twist that a stripping machine puts on a conductor end. The machine is built to order: wire gauge, pair length and twist pitch are set per project, and the manufacturer publishes no fixed wire-range or capacity table for this model.

Key features

• Six pairs leave the machine per cycle instead of one — the six stations are mechanically independent, so a station can be idled without stopping the other five
• Turn count is programmed, not eyeballed: each controller counts revolutions, so twist pitch repeats from the first pair of the shift to the last
• Direction, speed and delay are set per station, which lets a stiff pair run slower on one axis while softer wire runs faster on the next
• English keypad and display on every station — no Chinese-only interface to translate on the shop floor
• Free sample test — send your wire and the pair length you want, we run it on this machine and send you the video before you order

What it processes

• Twisted-pair signal and sensor leads for appliance, lighting and instrument harnesses
• Red/black DC power pairs twisted down to a defined pitch to cut loop area and noise pickup
• Batch preparation of pre-twisted pairs that then feed stripping, crimping or tinning stations downstream
• Small and mid-size harness shops replacing hand-drill or single-spindle twisting benches

Suited for: making finished twisted pairs in batches — six at a time, at a programmed turn count, from wire you have already cut to length. Not suited for: cutting and stripping — this machine has no blades, so if you are starting from a reel the WM-187 cutting, stripping and twisting machine covers 0.1–4.5 mm² single wire and 0.1–2.5 mm² double wire at 4,000–10,000 pcs/h. It also does not solder: if the pair ends must come out tinned, the WM-4706W multi-wire stripping, twisting and tinning machine handles up to ten independent 18–28 AWG wires with 0.1–10 mm tinning, and for sheathed multi-core cable that must be jacket-stripped and tinned at both ends the WM-4715 double-end twisting and tinning line runs cable of 3.0–8.0 mm outer diameter at 2,000–5,000 pcs/h. And if six stations are more machine than your volume needs, or you want a published wire-range and turn-count table to plan against, the single-spindle WM-4717 benchtop wire twisting and stranding machine does the same full-length pair twisting on 12–36 AWG wire, up to 6 m per lead at 1,500 pcs/h.

Twisting is the step harness shops keep doing by hand long after everything else has been automated — a cordless drill, a hook, and a pitch that drifts with whoever is holding it. The cost of that is not the labour so much as the inconsistency: a pair twisted at 90 turns and a pair twisted at 140 turns behave differently in a routing channel and look different in a customer’s incoming inspection. Here the turn count is a number on a display, entered once per station.

Because this is a build-to-order machine, we would rather show you a run than quote a specification we cannot source. Send us two to three metres of the wire you actually use and the pitch you want, and we will return the trial video and the measured cycle time.
