X-Series Modular Systems

X-Series Modular Systems

Engineered Machinery has developed a new series of wire drawing machines that can be expandable to increase future draw capabilities and production outputs, it is our “X-SERIES MODULAR SYSTEM”.

The beauty of this concept is, a customer can buy a continuous draw-line that consists of a single module horizontal bull-block ,with a non-stop drawing dead-block and pattern lay turntable or a spooler take-up.

If the customer needs to increase the capacity to finish smaller gages or start with larger inlet diameters, they can add spindles, our system is designed to incorporate as many spindles as required to meet the new start or finish size range. Modules can be added to the initial system either before the original bull-block for heavier inlet sizes or after the bull-block for increased productivity on the smaller sizes.

This concept allows a customer to make an economical investment to start with and enable them to add spindles as their business and demands for wire sales grows.

EMG builds a complete line of auxiliary equipment such as pay-offs, up-enders and pointers to go along with our new line of machinery.

Advantages of the X-Series machine:

  • Ability to add spindles because machines are modular in design and feature Ethernet plug in capabilities when adding spindles to the initial draw machine package.
  • Non twist string up capabilities for Intermediate blocks to Dead block or spooling machinery.
  • Dancers feature non contact transducer for following prior spindles and trimming during Acceleration and Deceleration of blocks.
  • Easy operator string up of machine especially between the last spindle and dead block, especially in the case of horizontal axis machines.
  • Pressure rolls to hold wire during string up or stopping of blocks, thus allowing traction of wire to block.
  • Simple maintenance of each module, extended central lube points and easy removal of gear components during maintenance or replacement of parts. Gear motor design makes sub assembly of machine components simple, no belts, pulleys, noise or adjustments required. Gear units feature a Class 12 helical gear which means higher efficiency, less noise and heat.
  • Interchangeable spare parts such as sheaves and blocks, including the Dead block.
  • Motors are all interchangeable as well.
  • Easy shipping because of modular design.
  • State of the Art AC Flux Vector Drives, ABB drives are flexible on all incoming power voltages and hertz.
  • Powder coated frames for long lasting luster and durability of finish.
  • Many colors of powder coating available.
  • Safety features include lift up guards for Jog cycle of spindles, individual air regulators on the guarding for dancer tension control at each spindle. Since there are no moving parts machine accessibility is simple from the back side of the machine.
  • Installation cost is reduced because of the modular design and plug in Ethernet thus drastically reducing incoming wiring.
  • Dead block main drive is removable if maintenance is required; the gear motor and main shaft can be simply removed and set on a bench for repair or replacement.
  • Dead block features a motor brake for holding and e stopping of motor during run cycle, thus minimizing maintenance on it.
  • X-series are made of stout steel construction and do not need any special footing during installation.
  • Major components are available world wide and can be purchased here in the U.S.A or overseas.
