https://youtube.com/shorts/o1WVAxfm0Gc?feature=share

Advanced hydraulic and servo‑electric drawbenches with closed‑loop control, quick‑change tooling, and automated handling – delivering ±0.015 mm dimensional accuracy, Ra 0.2 µm surface finish, and consistent mechanical properties across steel, stainless, aluminum, copper, titanium, and specialty alloys.

Why Precision Cold Drawing Is the Cornerstone of Modern Metal Processing

Cold drawing is not merely a size‑reduction process – it is a material enhancement technology. By pulling a tube or bar through a precision die at room temperature, the process simultaneously improves dimensional accuracy, surface integrity, and mechanical strength. For critical applications in aerospace, automotive, medical, energy, and industrial sectors, precision cold drawing is the essential enabler of component reliability and performance.

Key Benefits of Precision Cold Drawing

• Dimensional excellence – Achieve ±0.015 mm on diameter, wall thickness, and straightness.

• Superior surface quality – Ra ≤0.2 µm, often eliminating secondary finishing.

• Enhanced mechanical properties – Controlled strain hardening increases tensile and yield strength.

• Material efficiency – Near‑net shapes reduce machining waste.

• Process versatility – Handle a wide range of materials and cross‑sectional shapes.
