Straightening Systems DR Series For Dry Drawing Machines

Witels-Albert GmbH will be presenting both new and field-proven solutions from its range of straightener, roll, guide, feed and pre-former products at WIRE/TUBE 2008 (March 31-April 04 2008, Dusseldorf). The picture shows a straightening system for dry drawing machines with details like specific sealed and coated rolls, optimised roll diameters for an elastic and elasto-plastic process material deformation, radial and axial adjustable straightening rolls and a deflection roll which can be aligned accurately considering the specific wire path from the lower to the upper capstan. Adjusting the wire path in a number of ways allows a precise adaptation to the geometric characteristics of individual drawing machines which helps to prevent wear at the infeed and exit point. Easy accessible elements like the quick opening/quick closing excenter parts, the straightening roll adjusting mechanisms or greasing points are very welcome. On request the straightening systems can be prepared for carrying a process material diameter gauge for measuring the wire size. The company believes that the straightening systems DR series will beat the common practice in the industry to use the drawing die for wire straightening.
