Set up a mains-powered terminal assembly workstation
For repeat bench and control-panel wiring work where mains power suits the workspace.
Choose the right configuration
Select the correct supply-voltage version. Seven dies are included in the complete package; each terminal and die has its own range within the published maximum.
Upgrade wire preparation, not duplicate dies
IWE-5 is an optional German-made stripper for compatible 0.2–6 mm² wire only. Larger conductors require different preparation tools.
What makes a useful workstation upgrade?
Consistent wire preparation and terminal positioning are worth addressing before buying more dies. Use the included die for the application and check a first sample after any tooling or wire change.
EM-6B1 / EM-6B2 — application and selection
A mains-powered terminal crimping machine for workbench and control-cabinet wiring preparation. Select the correct supply-voltage version and terminal-specific die before ordering.
Electric drive is useful where a mains-powered workstation is preferable to a compressed-air installation. This machine is for the listed crimping operations; automatic stripping, terminal feeding and crimp-force monitoring are not claimed.
Specifications and configuration
| EM-6B1 selector rating | AC 100–125 V (110 V nominal listing) |
|---|---|
| EM-6B2 selector rating | AC 200–230 V (220 V nominal listing) |
| Published maximum capacity | Up to 16 mm²; exact range depends on terminal and die |
| Listed package | Seven replaceable die sets; confirm the current die-code list |
| Power type | Mains electric; not a cordless battery crimper |
Before ordering: Do not connect the wrong voltage version. Confirm supply frequency, plug, machine nameplate and included dies for your destination. A maximum 16 mm² rating does not apply to every terminal or every supplied die.
Choose the right configuration
Choose the exact model in the purchase selector. Product photographs may show different configurations; only the selected package is supplied.
Workstation setup and first-piece checks
- Confirm the selected voltage version against the machine nameplate, local supply, frequency and plug.
- Disconnect power before die changes or maintenance. Set up the workstation according to the manual.
- Match the die and terminal, prepare the conductor to the required strip length and position it carefully.
- Validate a first-piece sample using the terminal maker's acceptance criteria before running a batch.
Use the current model-specific instructions. The guide above is a selection and workflow overview, not a substitute for the operating manual.
Maintenance and repeatability
Keep working surfaces clean and inspect tooling for wear, chips, misalignment or loose fasteners. Follow the model-specific lubrication and service instructions. Recheck the first piece after a die change, adjustment or maintenance; stop using damaged tooling. Keep a job record of the terminal, conductor, die and inspection results.
Frequently asked questions
Does the maximum wire size apply to every terminal?
No. Usable capacity depends on conductor construction, terminal material and barrel dimensions, the selected die and the required crimp geometry. Match the complete combination.
How do I check crimp quality?
Use the terminal manufacturer's acceptance criteria. These may include visual checks, crimp height or other dimensions, and pull-force testing. A completed tool cycle alone does not prove electrical performance.
Which option should I buy?
Do not connect the wrong voltage version. Confirm supply frequency, plug, machine nameplate and included dies for your destination. A maximum 16 mm² rating does not apply to every terminal or every supplied die.
What information should I send for a compatibility check?
Provide the machine model and selected option, terminal part number or drawing, conductor material and cross-section, insulation diameter, and intended workload. For powered models, include your air or electrical supply.
Included tooling — no duplicate die purchase needed
The complete EM-6B machine package includes its set of seven crimping dies. You do not need to buy a second die set for the applications covered by the supplied tooling. Select the correct voltage version and match each terminal to its included die.
Replacement or application-specific dies are relevant only for worn tooling or a verified new terminal requirement. Included tooling does not mean compatibility with every terminal within the machine's maximum wire-size range.
Precision wire preparation for your workstation
The machine's included crimping tooling does not need to be purchased again. Add preparation tools only where your existing workstation does not cover the task.

IWE-5 German-made wire stripper — 0.2–6 mm²
For compatible solid and flexible insulated conductors within this range. Set the 5–12 mm length stop only where it matches the terminal's specified strip length. Inspect a sample for insulation damage and nicked strands.
This stripper does not cover conductor sizes above 6 mm², even when the crimping machine does. Its built-in cutter is rated by wire diameter (up to 2 mm), not by its stripping range. For larger cable or special insulation, request a size- and material-matched preparation tool.
