Sei Sistemi develops controlled-slip wet drawing lines

For over 30 years, Sei Sistemi, a leading Italian company in industrial automation , has embraced advanced technologies to improve efficiency and precision in manufacturing processes. A standout innovation  are the controlled-slip wet drawing lines, designed to optimize the metal drawing process while ensuring both product quality and uninterrupted operation.

Technology to prevent wire breakage and die wear

 At the core of this technology are the motorized drawing capstans, all equipped with variable-speed motors. This system enables real-time control over the production process. The operator inputs the installed die diameters and the desired slip for each step using an intuitive control panel.

The electronic control unit automatically calculates the optimal speed for each step, incorporating a slight slip, typically between 0.5% and 1%, to compensate for the natural die wear. This significantly reduces the risk of wire breakage, maintaining a steady and reliable production.

Advantages over traditional drawing lines

 One of the primary advantages of controlled-slip wet drawing lines over traditional systems is the ability to accommodate a much wider range of die sizes. Additionally, the system ensures that the slip does not accumulate across the various stages of the process, remaining consistent.

When the die’s wear exceeds the set slip value, the system immediately detects an imbalance in the motors’ power consumption. This triggers an alert, allowing the operator to quickly adjust the process speed, extending the die's service life without interrupting production.

Thanks to these features, Sei Sistemi’s controlled-slip wet drawing machines provide cutting-edge solutions for wire manufacturers. With a perfect balance between technological innovation and operational continuity, these machines ensure high-quality products and greater efficiency in the production process.

The Sei Sistemi team is available to assist wire manufacturing specialists with more details on controlled-slip wet drawing technology.
