Wire & Cable ASIA – November/December 2008 39
DSD is the latest drawing machine
developed by Team Meccanica; a
traditional multi-hole dry drawing
machine, straight through type, with
tilted blocks and sensing arms (tuner
type) for speed synchronisation, but
with a newly developed driving
system without gear-boxes, pulleys
or belts.
The advantage of this system lies in
the reduced maintenance of rotating
parts and in improved mechanical
efficiency and power saving.
The cooling system of the capstan
was completely redesigned to
improve the wire cooling. It consists
of nozzles spraying high-pressure
water directly onto the internal
surface of the capstans. The system
uses four times the amount of water,
compared to traditional narrow-gap
systems, but the water is recycled in
a closed circuit system.

Whether you’re looking for
surface or subsurface defects;
alloy or hardness variations; wall
thickness measurement or other
conditions in bar, tube or parts,
we may already have the test
system you need.
Since 1928, MAC’s field
engineers — throughout Europe,
Asia, and the Americas —
have worked with thousands of
metal producers with specialized
requirements. We’ve developed
workable, cost-effective answers for
them, using MAC eddy current,
ultrasonic or flux leakage
inspection equipment and systems.
