In the modern wire and cable manufacturing industry, Rod Breakdown Machine plays a vital role. This equipment provides key raw materials for multiple industries such as electronics, automobiles, and electricity by drawing thick metal rods (such as copper, aluminum, etc.) into thin wires.
The basic working principle of Rod Breakdown Machine is to gradually draw metal rods through a series of dies (called wire drawing dies). When the metal rod is subjected to tension, it is squeezed by the die, the cross-sectional area is reduced, and the length is increased, so as to achieve the required diameter and strength. The entire wire drawing process usually includes multiple wire drawing processes, each process uses dies of different sizes to gradually draw the metal rod to the target diameter.
Depending on the application scenario and specific needs, there are many types of Rod Breakdown Machine. Among them, the more common ones are:
Single motor driven wire drawing machine: This equipment is usually suitable for smaller-scale production, with the characteristics of simple structure and easy operation.
Multi-motor driven wire drawing machine: For large-scale production, multi-motor driven wire drawing machine has higher production efficiency and more stable wire drawing quality. Each wire drawing die is equipped with an independent motor to achieve more precise control.
Zero slip wire drawing machine: In this type of equipment, the slip between the metal rod and the die is almost zero during the wire drawing process, which significantly improves the wire drawing accuracy and the quality of the finished product. The TA model zero slip wire drawing machine developed by FRIGECO in Italy is a typical representative of this type of equipment.
When choosing a Rod Breakdown Machine, a series of technical parameters need to be considered to ensure that the equipment can meet production needs. These parameters include:
Entry diameter: refers to the diameter of the metal rod before it enters the wire drawing machine.
Exit diameter: refers to the diameter of the metal wire after drawing.
Drawing speed: refers to the speed at which the metal rod passes through the wire drawing machine, usually in meters per second.
Drawing passes: refers to how many passes of the metal rod must pass through the die to complete the wire drawing process.
Installed capacity: refers to the power capacity required for the wire drawing machine to operate.
Rod Breakdown Machine is widely used in the wire and cable manufacturing industry. From power lines, automotive lines to electronic lines, almost all fields that require metal wires cannot do without this equipment. Especially when manufacturing high-quality magnetic wires, such as copper or aluminum magnetic wires used in electronic components such as transformers and inductors, the precision and stability of the wire drawing machine are extremely high.
With the advancement of technology, Rod Breakdown Machine is also constantly innovating and developing. For example, some advanced wire drawing machines are equipped with online annealing devices, which can anneal the metal wires during the wire drawing process to improve their flexibility and conductivity. At the same time, the application of technologies such as PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) and MMI (Man-Machine Interface) makes the operation of wire drawing machines more intelligent and convenient.
