WC601A Wire and Tubing Cutter

Description / Details

The WC601A is the ultimate automatic wire and flexible tubing cutter. The unit easily and accurately cuts wire, tubings, sleevings, etc. to the programmed length and number of pieces. Ten variable feed rates allow the operator the flexibility to choose the correct rate for a given material to optimize production rate, repeatability and accuracy of the cut length. The WC601A utilizes an adjustable self-centering dual driven belt feed, coupled with an air-actuated cut-off blade. Programming of the unit is simple. A batching feature allows all variables for frequently run jobs to be pre-programmed. Up to 99 batches may be programmed. A kitting feature allows for multiple pieces of different lengths to be cut within a batch. Up to 10 kits can be programmed.

Series Information

The WC302 and WC601A wire and tubing cutting from the Eraser company can accurately cut wire and flexible tubing to a programmed length and number of pieces. A variety of feed rates allows the operator to choose the correct rate for a given material to optimize production rate, repeatability, and accuracy of the cut lengths. The WC302 can process tubing up to one-quarter inch outer diameter, and wire up to 12 gauge stranded, or 14 gauge solid, to a length as small as 50 thousandths of an inch. This easy to use machine utilizes a guillotine-style blade and a pinch roll feeding system. The WC601A can cut tubing up to three-eighths inch outer diameter, and wire up to 10 gauge stranded or 12 gauge solid to a length of 100 thousandths of an inch or less. This cutting machine uses an adjustable self-centering dual driven feed belt system. Coupled with an air actuated cutoff blade. A bushing set is required based on the size of the material. Programming is simple, a batching feature allows all variables for frequently run jobs to be pre-programmed. Up to 99 batches, may be programmed. The WC601A also features a kitting function which allows for multiple batches to be cut consecutively. Up to 10 kits can be programmed. These automatic feed and cut machines can also be paired with one of Eraser’s dereeling systems, such as the DE 700 compensating dereeler, which can help improve the accuracy and productivity of the cutting machine.
