Advanced hydraulic drawbenches with DLC‑coated dies, closed‑loop force control, and automated handling – delivering ±0.015 mm accuracy, Ra 0.2 µm finish, and high‑volume output for electrical, HVAC, automotive, and medical applications.
Why Copper Requires Precision Cold Drawing
Copper's exceptional electrical and thermal conductivity make it indispensable in power transmission, heat exchangers, and fluid systems. However, its softness, high ductility, and tendency to gall present unique processing challenges:
Surface galling – Copper adheres to tooling without proper die coatings.
Wall thickness variation – Inconsistent drawing leads to weak spots.
Work hardening – Excessive reduction makes copper brittle.
Dimensional instability – Spring‑back affects final tolerances.
Precision cold drawing addresses these challenges through controlled reduction, smooth hydraulic force, and advanced die technology.
Why Hydraulic Precision for Copper?
Factor | Mechanical (Chain) | Hydraulic (FangRong) |
Force smoothness | Pulsating – risk of chatter marks | Continuous, vibration‑free |
Surface finish | Ra ≥0.6 µm | Ra ≤0.2 µm – mirror bright |
Die life | 1,500–2,000 draws | 3,500–5,000 draws |
Energy consumption | Fixed pump – higher cost | Variable pump – 25% less |
