+18 m/s in low carbon wire drawing.
In the video you can see some microcassette players working on a multi-pass cutting line, reaching these speeds with a very stable process.
Note: The endpapers are raised for recording purposes only. In normal operation, the equipment works with all its protections installed.
Although the process is often thought of only as wire drawing, with these microcassette players we are really talking about cold rolling with rollers, which opens up several advantages in operation.
In practice, what is most noticeable in the plant is:
Less time wasted on row changes
Reduced machine downtime
Lower lubricant consumption
Ability to work at higher speeds with stability
Another interesting point is the flexibility compared to different wire rod suppliers.
this type of solution has an especially big impact on machines dedicated to manufacturing a single product, where reducing interruptions directly translates into more monthly production.
