What wire diameter can this machine produce?

This model is designed for ultra fine wire applications. The standard inlet wire diameter is φ0.018 mm to φ0.038 mm, while the standard finished wire diameter is φ0.012 mm to φ0.025 mm. Different diameter requirements can be evaluated according to the customer's material and drawing process.

Can the machine produce wire smaller than 20 microns?

Yes. The standard finished wire diameter range includes φ0.012 mm to φ0.025 mm, which covers wire sizes below 20 microns. The actual achievable diameter depends on wire material, incoming wire quality, drawing dies, reduction ratio, lubrication and production conditions.

What materials can be drawn by this machine?

The machine can be configured for a variety of fine and specialty wires, including copper wire, aluminum wire, copper alloy wire, aluminum alloy wire, tin wire, copper-clad aluminum wire, silver-plated wire, precious metal wire and other suitable alloy wires.

Can the machine be used for copper wire?

Yes. Copper wire is one of the common materials used in fine wire drawing applications. The drawing process can be configured according to the copper grade, inlet diameter, target finished diameter, required speed and surface quality requirements.

Can the machine process alloy or specialty wire?

Yes. Alloy and specialty wires can be considered for this type of machine. Because different materials have different tensile strength, elongation and work-hardening characteristics, the drawing die configuration and reduction schedule should be selected according to the specific material.

How many drawing dies can the machine use?

The machine can accommodate up to 12 drawing dies, configured as 11 + 1. Multiple drawing stages allow the total diameter reduction to be distributed across several passes for better process control.

Why are multiple drawing dies necessary for ultra fine wire?

Ultra fine wire requires controlled deformation at every drawing stage. Multiple dies allow the wire diameter to be reduced progressively, helping control drawing force, wire tension and material deformation. This can also help reduce the risk of wire breakage and improve finished wire consistency.

What is the maximum line speed?

The maximum specified line speed is 600 m/min with a 0.1 kg to 5 kg capacity wind-up configuration. The suitable operating speed should be determined according to wire material, finished diameter, die configuration, lubrication and required product quality.

Can the drawing speed be adjusted?

Yes. The machine uses servo motor drive and speed control. The production speed can be adjusted according to the wire material, drawing process, finished diameter and production requirements.

Why is servo motor control important for fine wire drawing?

Servo motor control provides accurate and responsive speed regulation. Stable motor control is particularly important when processing very small diameter wires because sudden changes in speed or tension can affect wire quality and increase the possibility of wire breakage.

What type of drawing dies should be used?

High-precision drawing dies should be selected according to the wire material, diameter and production requirements. Diamond dies and other precision die solutions may be used for fine and ultra fine wire applications. Proper die geometry and surface condition are important for maintaining dimensional accuracy and surface quality.

How often should drawing dies be replaced?

Die service life depends on the wire material, production speed, lubrication, incoming wire quality and operating conditions. The dies should be inspected regularly, and worn dies should be replaced when they begin to affect wire diameter, surface finish or drawing stability.

Why does fine wire sometimes break during drawing?

Wire breakage can result from several factors, including poor incoming wire quality, excessive reduction, worn dies, insufficient lubrication, excessive drawing tension, unsuitable line speed or unstable take-up. A properly designed drawing process and regular inspection of critical components can help reduce wire breakage.

How can wire breakage be reduced?

A suitable reduction schedule, high-quality drawing dies, stable wire tension, proper lubrication and appropriate drawing speed are important for reducing wire breakage. The quality and consistency of the incoming wire blank should also be controlled carefully.

Why is lubrication important in ultra fine wire drawing?

Lubrication reduces friction between the wire and drawing die and helps control heat generated during the drawing process. Proper lubrication can improve wire surface quality, reduce die wear and contribute to stable continuous production.

Does this machine have a lubrication and cooling system?

Yes. The machine uses a spray-type lubrication system with a water tank, water pump and automatic die-base spray. The lubrication and cooling system supplies the drawing area to help control friction and temperature during production.

What affects the final wire diameter accuracy?

Finished wire diameter can be affected by the incoming wire diameter, drawing die accuracy, die wear, reduction ratio, drawing speed, wire tension, lubrication and machine stability. Maintaining consistent production parameters is important for achieving stable finished wire dimensions.

What affects the surface quality of fine wire?

Surface quality is influenced by incoming wire quality, drawing die condition, lubrication, drawing speed and machine cleanliness. Suitable dies and effective lubrication are especially important for achieving a smooth and consistent wire surface.

How does the take-up system work?

The machine uses a servo-controlled take-up system. The traversing axis is driven by a servo motor and ball screw mechanism, allowing the wire to be distributed evenly across the spool during winding.

Can the take-up system be customized?

Yes. The take-up system can be configured according to spool size, winding weight and production requirements. The standard machine configuration supports a 0.1 kg to 5 kg capacity wind-up.

Can the machine be customized for different wire diameters?

Yes. Fine wire drawing equipment can be configured according to the customer's inlet diameter, target finished diameter, material and required production speed. The drawing die arrangement and reduction schedule can also be adjusted accordingly.

Can you customize the machine for a specific wire material?

Yes. We provide customized machine solutions for different wire materials and applications. Customers can provide the wire material, inlet diameter, target finished diameter and production requirements so that the drawing system can be evaluated accordingly.

Can this machine be used for precision electronic wire?
