Wire Drawing Machine, as an important equipment in metal processing industry, plays a key role in Drawing Wire into desired shape and size. With the advancement of Science and technology and the acceleration of industrialization, the classification, structure and application of wire drawing machine are constantly developing and improving. In this paper, the classification, structure characteristics and future development trend of wire drawing machine will be discussed in depth.

Classification of wire drawing machines

The wire drawing machine can be divided into many types according to the size of wire diameter, drawing method and structure characteristics.

1.Sort by drawing wire diameter

The wire drawing machine can be divided into big drawing machine, middle drawing machine, small drawing machine, fine drawing machine and micro drawing machine according to the size of wire diameter. The large pulling machine is mainly used for drawing thick metal rod or wire, and the middle pulling machine is used for further refining wire to achieve medium wire diameter. The small drawing machine, the fine drawing machine and the micro drawing machine are respectively used for drawing finer and more precise wires. These different types of wire drawing machines have their own applications in metal processing industry, to meet the different needs of different areas of wire rod.

2. Sort by drawing method

According to different drawing methods, wire drawing machine can be divided into sliding wire drawing machine and non-sliding wire drawing machine. In the drawing process, there is relative sliding between wire and capstan. This kind of drawing machine is suitable for drawing round cross-section wire and special-shaped wire, and low-strength metal and alloy which can bear large pulling force and wear-resistant surface. The non-sliding wire drawing machine has no relative sliding between wire rod and capstan, and has higher drawing speed and production efficiency.

3.Classification according to structural characteristics

Wire drawing machine can also be classified according to the structural characteristics, such as single reel wire drawing machine, multi-reel wire drawing machine and water tank wire drawing machine. Single Reel Wire drawing machine only one reel for wire drawing, suitable for small-scale production. Multi-reel wire drawing machine has a number of reel, each reel winding wire, through a number of molds for continuous drawing, suitable for large-scale production. Water tank wire drawing machine is equipped with a water tank for cooling and lubrication wire, to prevent overheating or wear during the drawing process.

The structural characteristics of wire drawing machine

The structure of wire drawing machine usually includes mainframe part, transmission part, lubrication and cooling part and control system.

1. The mainframe

The main machine is the core of wire drawing machine, including the drum, die, winch and other key components. The reel is used to wind the wire, the die is used to change the shape and size of the wire, and the capstan is used to establish the drawing force. The quality and precision of these parts directly affect the performance and product quality of wire drawing machine.

2. transmission

The driving part transmits the power to the reel and the winch through the motor, the reducer, the coupling and so on, and realizes the wire drawing. The stability and reliability of the driving part is very important for the normal operation of wire drawing machine.

3. Lubrication and cooling

In the drawing process, the wire will be subject to greater friction and heat, so need lubrication and cooling. Wire drawing machines are usually equipped with lubricants and cooling devices to lubricate and cool wire during drawing to prevent overheating or wear.

Control system

Control system is the intelligent part of wire drawing machine, including electrical control cabinet, PLC, touch screen and other components. Through the control system, automatic control and remote monitoring of wire drawing machine can be realized to improve production efficiency and product quality.

The future development trend of wire drawing machine

With the advancement of Science and technology and the acceleration of industrialization, the future development trend of wire drawing machine will present the following characteristics:

Intelligent: the use of advanced sensors, controllers and actuators to achieve intelligent control and remote monitoring of wire drawing machine, improve production efficiency and product quality.

High Precision: by optimizing the mold design and manufacturing process, improve the wire drawing machine processing accuracy and product quality, to meet the higher-end market demand.

Energy-saving and environmental protection: adopt more environment-friendly cooling and lubrication, reduce the energy consumption and emissions in the drawing process, in line with the requirements of sustainable development.

Multi-function: develop multi-function wire drawing machine to meet the different needs of different areas of wire rod, improve the utilization of equipment and production efficiency.

To sum up, wire drawing machine as an important equipment in metal processing industry, its classification, structure and future development trend are constantly developing and improving. With the progress of science and technology and the acceleration of industrialization, wire drawing machine will be intelligent, high-precision, energy-saving, environmental protection and multi-functional direction, for the development of metal processing industry to contribute more strength.
