Wire Drawing Machines: These machines pull the copper wire through a series of dies to reduce its diameter and achieve the desired thickness. Wire drawing is the initial step in the manufacturing process.
Annealing Furnaces: After wire drawing, the copper wire needs to be annealed (heated and slowly cooled) to improve its ductility and conductivity. Annealing furnaces play a crucial role in this process.
Extruders: Extruders are used to apply insulation or other protective coatings to the copper wire. They ensure uniform insulation thickness and protect the wire from environmental factors.
Twisting Machines: Catenary wires are often composed of multiple strands twisted together. Twisting machines create the required stranded structure by twisting individual wires.
Tension Control Systems: These systems maintain consistent tension during wire drawing, annealing, and extrusion processes. Proper tension ensures uniform wire quality.
Spooling and Coiling Machines: Once the wire is ready, it needs to be wound onto spools or coils for storage and transportation. Spooling and coiling machines handle this task efficiently.
