The development of the wire stripping and crimping machine project stems from the increasingly demanding requirements for efficiency and quality in cable processing within the modern electronics manufacturing and power connection industries. In traditional production models, wire stripping (removing the insulation) and crimping (joining the exposed copper strands to a terminal) were typically two separate processes, handled by dedicated stripping machines and crimping presses. This segregated workflow not only required investment in two separate machines and occupied more factory space but, more critically, involved manual transfer and alignment of wires between the two steps. This directly led to reduced production efficiency, increased labor costs, and introduced quality risks due to the instability of manual operations, such as misaligned crimping positions or poor contact. As downstream sectors like automotive wiring harnesses, home appliance wiring, and communication equipment have expanded their production scales and intensified their demands for product consistency, the limitations of the traditional model have become increasingly apparent. The market urgently required an automated solution that could seamlessly integrate and complete both stripping and crimping actions in a single machine in one go. The wire stripping and crimping machine project was born in response to this need. By integrating a precision wire feeding mechanism, high-accuracy stripping blades, and a stable, reliable crimping module—all coordinated by a unified control system—it achieves full automation from cable loading to finished product output. The successful implementation of this project will significantly enhance the efficiency and quality of the cable processing stage, reduce reliance on skilled operators, and represents a crucial step forward in the automation and intelligent upgrade of the wire harness processing industry.

► Superior Production Flexibility
The equipment integrates various operating modes, including wire stripping, stripping & crimping, and stripping & sleeve crimping. It is compatible with a wide range of terminal types, such as loose-piece OT, UT, pre-insulated barrel, and aviation pins. Through flexible process configuration, a single machine can meet the production requirements of diverse products, significantly improving equipment utilization and market adaptability.

► Efficient Remote Maintenance Capability
The system incorporates a remote maintenance concept from the design stage. It supports real-time monitoring of the PLC status and allows direct program upload/download operations via the HMI. This feature greatly simplifies later-stage debugging, optimization, and fault diagnosis processes, enabling technical support personnel to respond swiftly.

► Intelligent Recipe Management
The HMI features a powerful built-in recipe function that consolidates key parameters—such as wire marking format, stripping dimensions, and operating mode—into independent recipe sets. Users can pre-store a vast number of recipes and recall them with a single click during production, enabling fast and seamless switching between different product parameters. This significantly reduces tedious manual setup and potential errors, ensuring parameter consistency and accuracy.
