Product variants

Flexibly produce wires with fully automated wire processing machines from Rittal.

Wire Terminal WT L5 R (wire rail system)

The Wire Terminal WT L5 R fully automated wire processing machine can process wire cross-sections ranging from 0.5–2.5 mm². This includes length-cutting, insulation-stripping, crimping and project-specific labelling of the wires. The finished, processed wires are guided to the appropriate wire rails in the correct sequence on an order-specific basis. The front and rear of the rails can then be secured with a seal system.

Wire Terminal WT L5 B (wire chain bundler)

The Wire Terminal WT L5 B fully automated wire processing machine can process wire cross-sections ranging from 0.5–2.5 mm². This includes length-cutting, insulation-stripping, crimping and project-specific labelling of the wires. The finished wires are output in chain bundles on an order-specific basis.

Wire Terminal WT L5 T (Wire Handling System)

The Wire Terminal WT L5 T fully automated wire processing machine can process wire cross-sections ranging from 0.5–2.5 mm². This includes length-cutting, insulation-stripping, crimping and project-specific labelling of the wires. The pre-assembled wires are made available using the Wire Handling System (WHS). The WHS is a fully automated wire distribution system. Wires that have been manufactured just-in-time in the Wire Terminal WT are delivered sequentially to a maximum of four wiring workstations using compressed air.

Wire Terminal WT L10 R (wire rail system)

The Wire Terminal WT L10 R fully automated wire processing machine can process wire cross-sections ranging from 0.5–6 mm². This includes length-cutting, insulation-stripping, crimping and project-specific labelling of the wires. The finished, processed wires are guided to the appropriate wire rails in the correct sequence on an order-specific basis. The front and rear of the rails can then be secured with a seal system.

Wire Terminal WT L10 B (wire chain bundler)

The Wire Terminal WT L10 B fully automated wire processing machine can process wire cross-sections ranging from 0.5–6 mm². This includes length-cutting, insulation-stripping, crimping and project-specific labelling of the wires. The finished wires are output in chain bundles on an order-specific basis.
