We've been supplying these to small harness shops and R&D labs for a while now, and what it does is handle the repetitive crimping work on RG6 and similar coax cables without taking up a lot of bench space. It's basically a semi-automatic unit that runs on compressed air — you feed the terminal strip in, step on a pedal, and it cuts, forms, and crimps in one go. Most buyers go with this for prototyping runs or low-volume production where consistency matters more than raw speed.
The EW-5185 model uses Japanese SMC pneumatics (usually 0.5-0.7MPa) and a modular electrcial setup that keeps power draw low — AC110/220V 50/60Hz is fine. It'll handle wire sizes form 0.81mm to 1.78mm, which covers most common coax gauges, and the production rate is about 1500-1800 pieces per hour give or take depending on operator skill. Noise stays under 70dB, so you're not rattling the whole workshop.
One thing we've learned handling these is that the terminal feed mechanism needs a little break-in — maybe 200 cycles or so — before it runs smoothly. Not a defect, just how guide rails seat. And the 8kg weight means you can move it between benches without a cart, though the footprint (350×260×200mm) is small enough to leave it in one spot.
CE and ISO certified, 12-month warranty, and we usually have stock on these but confirm lead time if you need more than 50 units. It's better than a manual hand crimper for repeatability, but it's not suited for heavy-duty 24/7 production — that's what the full-auto rotary models are for. The SMC components are actually a nice touch for durability; we've had some of these running for years with just basic filter changes.
When ordering, you'll get the machine, a foot pedal, an air fitting adapter (check your local thread standdard), and a basic tool kit for adjusting teh crimp die. The COA covers the terminal crimp height range, but honestly, you'll want to run a few test crimps and measure with a micrometer — we always recommend that for first-time users.
We don't have a fixed MOQ for this model; we can handle single units for testing or larger batch orders. Just let us know your quantity, and we'll work out the pricing.
Lead time is usually 7-15 days, depending on stock levels. For urgent orders, we can prioritize production to speed things up.
Yes, we provide CE and ISO certificates with every machine. Just request them when you place the order, and we'll include the docs in the shipment.
No, it's specifically designed for that 0.81-1.78mm range to ensure precise crimping. Using larger or smaller wires could damage the tool or give poor connections.
Keep it in a dry, clean area away from dust and moisture. We recommend covering it with a dust sheet and checking the pneumatic components occasionally for any debris.
