Suitable for

• Industrial electrical panel building
• Automated wire processing workshops
• High-volume electrical assembly tasks
• Applications requiring consistent ferrule crimping quality

This machine may not be suitable for processing loose, non-taped wire end ferrules or for applications involving wire sizes outside the 0.5 mm² to 2.5 mm² range. It is also not intended for heavy-duty cable cutting or stripping of large-diameter power cables beyond its specified capacity.

Key specifications

• Cable cross-section range: 0.5 mm² to 2.5 mm²
• Power supply: 100-240 V AC, 50/60 Hz
• Dimensions: 288 mm (width) x 345 mm (depth) x 230 mm (height)
• Operation type: Electrically driven automated crimping
• Compatibility: Taped wire end ferrules on a reel

How to use

To operate the Rittal R8 E, ensure the machine is connected to a stable AC power source within the specified voltage range. Load the reel of taped wire end ferrules into the designated feed mechanism. Adjust the settings according to the specific wire cross-section being processed. Once configured, insert the stripped wire into the crimping aperture. The machine will automatically perform the crimping process, ensuring a secure and precise connection. Always ensure the machine is kept clean and free of debris to maintain optimal performance.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your wire end ferrules are supplied on a reel and are compatible with the machine's feeding system.
• Ensure your workspace has sufficient bench space for the unit's dimensions.
• Confirm that your electrical assembly requirements fall within the 0.5 mm² to 2.5 mm² range.

Usage recommendations

Regularly inspect the crimping mechanism for wear and ensure that the consumable feed path remains unobstructed to guarantee consistent output quality and machine longevity.
