A wire drawing machine is a piece of equipment used in the metalworking industry to reduce the diameter of a wire by pulling it through a series of drawing dies. This process is known as wire drawing and is commonly used to create wires of different sizes for various applications such as electrical wiring, cables, structural components, springs, paper clips, spokes for wheels, and stringed musical instruments [3].

The wire drawing machine is an essential tool for processing steel wire and metallic mesh in different applications. It allows manufacturers to reduce the diameter of steel wire rods and create wires of various diameters for different uses.

Here are some key features and uses of wire drawing machines:

Material Compatibility: Wire drawing machines are designed to work with different materials, including stainless steels, carbon steels (bright, phosphated, galvanized, or nickel-plated), precious metals, copper and copper alloys, EDM wires, and aluminum.

Precision and Quality: Wire drawing machines are engineered to provide high precision and quality in wire production. They are designed to ensure reliable performance and low maintenance costs.

Multiple Drawing Dies: Wire drawing machines often have multiple drawing dies in a series. The wire is pulled through these dies, with each die reducing the diameter of the wire. The exact die sequence depends on the desired area reduction, input wire size, and output wire size [3].

Lubrication: Lubrication is an essential aspect of the wire drawing process to maintain good surface finish and prolong die life. Different lubrication methods can be employed, including wet drawing (immersing the dies and wire in lubricants), dry drawing (passing the wire through a container of lubricant), metal coating (coating the wire with a soft metal acting as a solid lubricant), ultrasonic vibration (vibrating the dies and mandrels to reduce forces), and roller die drawing (using roller dies to convert shear friction to rolling friction)
