Dead Blocks

For wire or tube up to 7/16” | Block sizes up to 36” diameter

Dead Blocks are stationary horizontal shaft machines with curved arm types. They are utilized for drawing and/or coiling of wire, always as a finisher and normally in conjunction with a draw machine. Dead Blocks make it a non-stop operation when used in line with another draw machine or draw line. Types of Dead Blocks include:

• Free Standing Draw or coil
  
• Double Draft Infinite to 30% R/A between blocks.
  
• V-Groove Dead Block Take-up Ideal for annealing ovens and coating lines.
  
• Live Block Take-up Ideal for use with annealing ovens and coating lines 
  

De-Scalers | Wire & Rod Cleaners

Speeds from 800 to 1750 FPM

To clean the OD of the wire, the De-Scaler takes the scaled material off the wire rod that has been heat treated and has a scale on it. Can be used offline or inline during the wire drawing process. Types of De-Scalers include:

• Brush System uses brushes to clean the scale off for any type of wire up to ½” diameter
• Breaking Roll System uses rolls to clean the scale off for any type of wire up to ¾” diameter
  

Multi-Pass Draw Machines

.006” – ½” diameter for tubing and wire | Speeds up to 3350 FPM
For all types of solid wire, specialty metal wire & various types of tubing

Unlimited number of passes and combination of motors and block sizes to suit your needs. Available with no cooling, air cooling, and air/water cooling for blocks and water-cooled dies suitable for dry powder and wet lube drawings. Types of Multi-Pass Draw Machines include:

• Dry Lube Drawing  Ideal for sink drawing of tubing
• Wet Lube Drawing
    Slip type
    Non-slip type via dancer
• X Series Modular construction
• Dancer Type Drawing Used primarily in multi-hole drawing. It can accommodate any R/A % between each block, makes up for any wear on the die, and still follows line speed. It is an ideal machine for running multiple ranges of finish sizes.

Roll Pointers

Roll pointers are available to prepare rods or tubing for wire drawing. As an alternative to swaging, roll pointers include a pair of rolls instead of dies, which are driven manually or by a motor. Each pointer has a pair of rolls, grooved to your specifications. The grooves will continue to get smaller, allowing the material to pass through to a desired finish size. Machinery configurations:

• Manual For fine wire or tubes
• Motorized For larger wire or tubes
  

Spooler Payoffs & Take-ups

Speeds from 10 FPM – 3,000 FPM & Spool weights from 1 pound to 10,000 pounds

Payoffs and Take-ups are for wire from a process line such as Annealing Furnaces and Coating Lines, Multi-draw machines, Bull Blocks, etc. Types of Payoffs and Take-ups include:

• Continuous Payoff and Take-up System Used for a non-stop annealing or coating process. Either Payoff or Take-up spool can be changed while the material is accumulated on the other block
• Annealing/Coating Payoff and Take-up System Used for inline paying off and taking up for an annealing or coating process
• 34 Take-up System Used following a heat treatment process where multiple wires coming through a furnace are collected. Different capstans are pulling wire through the process, and a traversing wire guide lays the wire onto different spools

Wire/Rod Payoffs

Up to 10,000-pound capacity

To payoff wire or rod into a process line. Types of Payoffs include:

• Overhead rod sizes up to 5/8” diameter
• Horizontal rod sizes up to 2 ½” diameter
• Payoff Turntable up to 84” diameter top plates
  

Spoolers

For all sizes and shapes of tube and wire .001” – .750”
Additional custom size ranges are available for cable

To take up wire from a process, Spoolers can be used in conjunction with all types of machinery, such as Bull Blocks, Multi-pass machines, and Rewinders. Types of Spoolers include:

• Levelwind/Traversing Spooler A reciprocating spool is for inline spooling and is also available for specialty rewind lines. It can hold up to 6,000 pounds
• Simple Tabletop Spooler Economic Rewind for rewinding larger spools to smaller spools, from 5 to 150 pounds
• Spool Rewinder System  Single unit that can payoff and take-up. Up to 10,000 pounds
