Wiredrawing Machines, Multi-Wire
A multiwire system uses the same basic wiredrawing concept to simultaneously reduce the diameter of up to 40 individual wire strands. With an input range of 10 to 16 AWG and an output range of 18 to 44 AWG, the process integrity is totally dependent upon the quality and condition of the copper, dies and lubrication used. The slip-type drawing machine is most commonly used in the industry.
