Benchtop Large Cable Cutting and Stripping Machine for 6–70 mm² Power Cable WM-179
The WM-179 cuts and strips multi-strand power cable from 6.0 to 70 mm² — welding cable, battery leads and new-energy harness wire — from an 80 kg benchtop frame instead of a floor machine. A 12-wheel drive feeds cable up to Φ20 mm, cutting lengths to 100 meters at ±0.2% (0.002×L) and stripping 400 mm at the head and 150 mm at the tail; an optional cutting jig extends head strips beyond 400 mm. It processes 1,500 to 2,500 pieces per hour, stores 100 programs on a 7-inch PLC touchscreen, and runs on 220 V at 800 W.

Key features
- Heavy-cable stripping from a bench footprint — 70 mm² welding and battery cable without giving up floor space to a cabinet machine
- 12-wheel drive keeps thick, stiff jackets moving straight so 100-meter cut programs hold ±0.2% length accuracy
- 100 stored programs switch the machine between battery lead, grounding strap and welding whip recipes in seconds
- 800 W on a standard 220 V socket — no three-phase supply and no compressed air to plumb before it earns its keep
What it processes
- Welding cable whips and grounding straps cut and stripped in batch
- Battery, energy-storage and EV service leads from 6.0 to 70 mm² multi-strand cable
- Electrical contractors and panel shops prefabricating large-gauge tails to length
Suited for: multi-strand power cable from 6.0 to 70 mm² (up to Φ20 mm OD) — welding cable, battery and energy-storage leads — where a bench machine has to do a floor machine’s job. Not suited for: cable above 70 mm² or thin hookup wire below 6 mm² — above, step up to the WM-1450 thick cable cutting and stripping machine (10–150 mm²); below, the WM-167 benchtop machine covers hookup wire from 0.1 to 10 mm². Inside this same 6–70 mm² band, batch volume and mid-span windows belong on the WM-197 high-speed big wire cutting and stripping machine — 5,000–6,000 pcs/h with 16 middle-strip sections, traded against end strips that stop at 150 mm instead of 400 mm (tail limited to 120 mm at 70 mm²).
Jacket compounds behave differently under the blade: send 2–3 meters of your actual cable and we run it on this machine on video before you commit. See where large-gauge cut-and-strip fits an EV wire harness line.

WM-179 — common questions
How long can the stripped end be for lugs and busbar terminations?
The head end strips from 0 to 400 mm and the tail from 0 to 150 mm in the standard cycle. The specification lists an optional cutting jig for head strips beyond 400 mm. We confirm the achievable length, support arrangement and operation sequence on your cable before ordering; the option does not establish an unlimited stripping length.
Does soft welding-cable jacket get marked by the feed?
Feeding is spread across a 12-wheel drive rather than a single pinch point, which is what lets stiff 70 mm² cable feed straight while soft EPDM and rubber jackets pass without visible wheel marks. Send a sample and judge the finish on your own cable.
What if my cable is bigger than 70 mm²?
70 mm² through a Φ20 mm guide is this machine's ceiling. Above that, the thick-cable machines in the wire cutting and stripping category carry the range to 150 mm² with 32-wheel belt drives.
