Square section wire rolling in continuous condition is provided through wire rolling trains that avoid unevenness and difficulty faced with the traditional multi-groove rolling mill systems, basing on a more sophisticated mechanical structure and an accurate electronic control of the working speeds. Wire rolling trains can be supplied as 8 or 12-passage models, in three different series, in accordance to the dimension of the bar to be rolled, for a max dimension of 16mm. For wire drawing, the square wire – once processed with the rolling mill – is then reduced to the desired diameter through the multi-pass wire drawing machines that can perform at a very high working speed. The company’s MDM T12NFS multi- pass drawing machine combines a 300m/minute speed and the possi- bility to draw – without breakages – a 0.12 mm diameter wire, thanks to its accurate electronic control pulling system.
