Wire draw bench with drive to coiling reel - has wire formed into helix between drawing drum and reel

摘要

A wire draw bench (1) is fed with wire (2) which is pulled through the die (3) by the rotating drum (4). A pressure roller (5) keeps the wire (2) in contact with the drum (4). The wire is coiled several times around the drum and then is allowed to form a helix of several coils (6) before being wound onto the reel (8). By allowing the wire to form this helix between the drawing drum (4) and the reel (8) less power is required to drive the reel (8). By allowing the wire to form this helix between the drawing drum (4) and the reel (8) less power is required to drive the reel (8) and the risk of damage to the wire is considerably reduced.
