The upgrade and replacement of straight-line wire drawing machines involves a fundamental shift from traditional mechanical and analog control to a fully digital, intelligent, and environmentally friendly development stage. The table below summarizes the main upgrade directions and impacts of contemporary straight-line wire drawing machines:
| Upgrade direction | Core Technologies and Features | The impact it brings |
| Control system | The system is transitioning from PLC + bus control to a domestically produced control system (such as Xinje X-NET), achieving high-speed synchronization and precise tension control. | Lowering costs, reducing reliance on foreign technology, and improving response speed. |
| Drive technology | It utilizes permanent magnet synchronous motor direct drive technology, resulting in a simplified structure. | Improve energy efficiency, reduce mechanical wear and tear, and achieve fast, automated material feeding. |
| Level of intelligence/smartness | It integrates functions such as human-machine interaction, remote monitoring, fault warning, and data acquisition. | To achieve predictive maintenance, improve management efficiency, and reduce reliance on skilled workers. |
| Energy saving and environmental protection | Optimize the transmission design and utilize high-efficiency motors and frequency converters. | Energy consumption is reduced by 25%-30% compared to traditional equipment, meeting the requirements of green manufacturing. |
| Modularity and flexibility | The design incorporates quickly replaceable modules (such as the print head), enabling multiple uses for a single machine. | Shorten product changeover time and quickly respond to the market's demand for a variety of products. |
