Wire drawing is a process that pulls materials of larger diameters through multiple stages to achieve the desired specifications.
Depending on the control method and mechanical structure, wire drawing equipment can be classified into various types, such as tank-style, pulley-style, and straight-through-style. Metal wire drawing machines are widely used in industries such as steel wire, rope making, wire and cable manufacturing, cutting wire, and welding wire
Industry Background
Wire drawing is a process where materials of larger diameters are pulled through multiple stages to achieve the desired specifications. A wire drawing machine generally consists of a decoiler, multiple drawing dies, a wire alignment device, and a wire take-up device. The wire drawing machine refers to the equipment that transforms materials into fine wires of the desired specifications using multiple drawing dies and winds the wires onto a fixed spool.
Depending on the control method and mechanical structure, wire drawing equipment can be classified into various types, such as tank-style, pulley-style, and straight-through-style. Wire drawing machines can also be categorized based on their purpose, such as metal wire drawing machines, fiber drawing machines, and bamboo/wood drawing machines. Metal wire drawing machines are widely used in industries such as steel wire, rope making, wire and cable manufacturing, cutting wire, and welding wire.
System principle
Tank-style wire drawing machines are suitable for drawing various types of metal wires, especially those of medium to fine specifications. In these machines, the drawing dies are placed inside a water tank. Through multiple stages of drawing, the steel wire is pulled to the desired specifications. The finished steel wire is then collected and wound onto a fixed spool according to the set length using the wire take-up and alignment structures. The equipment is mainly divided into several parts: wire decoiling, multiple stages of drawing, wire alignment, and wire take-up. Among them, the wire take-up and alignment stages are the core components of the control system and directly affect the quality of the steel wire.
