Stranding Machine
Stranding machines are used to twist multiple wires together to form strands, which are then twisted together to form a wire rope. There are various types of stranding machines, including:Tubular Stranding Machine: Wires are fed into a rotating tube where they are twisted together. This machine is suitable for high-speed production of wire ropes.
Closing Machine
Closing machines are used to combine multiple strands into a final wire rope. This process involves the precise alignment and twisting of strands to form a compact and strong rope. Types include:
Double Twist Closing Machine: Provides high efficiency and precision, suitable for producing various types of wire ropes.
Single Twist Closing Machine: Simpler design, often used for smaller scale production.
Wire Drawing Machine
Wire drawing machines are used to reduce the diameter of steel rods to create wires of the desired thickness. This process involves pulling the rod through a series of dies:
Continuous Wire Drawing Machine: Suitable for high-speed production, capable of drawing wires continuously from a rod.
Multi-Die Wire Drawing Machine: Uses multiple dies to gradually reduce the diameter of the wire, ensuring precise control over the wire size.
