TRD-H: precision wire drawing by Gimax

Gimax, a leader in wire processing technology, presents the TRD-H, a state-of-the-art draw bench designed for effortless operation and easy maintenance. Its user-friendly design and robust capabilities make it an ideal solution for handling both delicate, fragile wires as well as tougher materials. Its high precision die alignment and synchronized operation ensure unparalleled accuracy, while an innovative heat dissipation system enhances the overall efficiency.

Key features of the TRD-H:

• versatile lubrication options: it can be equipped to support both powder and liquid lubricants using standard dies, pressure dies, or even roller cassettes.
• broad compatibility with various wire types, including:
        ◦ FCW (flux core welding wires)
        ◦ hardfacing and cobalt alloys
        ◦ stainless steel and steel alloy wires
        ◦ nickel alloys (ideal for aerospace and defense applications)
        ◦ high-carbon wires for manufacturing springs
        ◦ specialized materials like titanium alloys for medical and surgical uses
        ◦ other technical and high-performance alloys.

Innovative machinery for advanced wire processing

Over the last decade, Gimax has expanded its portfolio by developing a range of cutting-edge wire processing machinery, including draw benches with a dancer arm on each block. These machines stand out for their ability to ensure consistency and precision in the wire’s final quality throughout the production process.

Technological highlights

The TRD-H by Gimax incorporates the most up to date technology to ensure superior wire processing. Its optimized wire path utilizes dancer arms and redirecting pulleys for precise handling, minimizing inconsistencies and improving overall performance. The Double Deck Technology features an advanced cast and helix correction system, enabling fine adjustments through continuous pulling and counter-pulling actions. Additionally, the machine is equipped with traversing winders and take-ups, which preserve the cast and helix integrity of the wire, eliminating deformation during the final processing stages. To accommodate diverse production needs, highly flexible respoolers are available in both drawing and non-drawing configurations, ensuring adaptability throughout most applications.

Gimax’s draw benches are available in both traditional vertical-axis models and a groundbreaking horizontal-axis configuration. The horizontal design enhances operational ease and maintenance accessibility, reducing downtime and boosting production efficiency.
