Tools for Wire Drawing High-Wear Components for Every Stage of the Wire Drawing Process

Available in ceramic, tungsten carbide, ceramic-coated steel, carbide-coated steel, and hardened special steel to match process requirements and wire material
Covers all functional positions: drawing cones, drawing rollers, drawing rings, capstan wheels, and bow rollers
Diamond-polished and ultra-fine ground running surfaces for consistent wire diameter, minimal surface defects, and extended service life
Compatible with wet drawing, dry drawing, and combined drawing line configurations
Suitable for drawing copper, aluminum, steel, stainless steel, brass, titanium, and specialty alloy wires
Supplied as individual replacement parts or as matched sets for full drawing line positions
Worn tools available for regrinding and refurbishment to extend service life and reduce tooling cost
Full dimensional traceability and quality documentation available on request

Rod breakdown lines: Coarse-to-medium reduction with carbide or ceramic-coated drawing cones and capstan wheels
Intermediate drawing: Ceramic-coated and carbide-coated rollers for multi-pass wet and dry drawing
Fine wire drawing: Polished ceramic and full ceramic composite drawing rings and guide eyelets for surface-critical applications
Copper wire drawing: Conductor, magnet wire, and flat wire production
Aluminum wire drawing: Overhead lines, automotive wiring, and building cables
Steel wire drawing: Spring wire, tire cord, prestressed concrete strand, and rope wire
Stainless steel and specialty alloy wire: Medical, food-grade, and industrial applications
High-speed drawing machines: Wear-resistant capstans and pulleys for continuous high-speed operation
Stranding and bunching lines: Ceramic bow rollers, eyelets, and guide components for multi-wire processing

Need to replace a worn drawing cone, roller, or ring but unsure of the right material grade or surface specification? Our team works with your maintenance engineers to identify the correct tool geometry, material, and surface finish based on your wire material, drawing speed, and machine type. We source from qualified tooling suppliers and can match existing part numbers or develop a replacement from a worn sample or technical drawing. Regrinding and refurbishment of used drawing tools is also available — contact us with your worn parts and we will advise on feasibility.

We supply a comprehensive range of tools for wire drawing — the high-wear components that guide, reduce, and finish wire at every stage of the drawing process. Our portfolio covers drawing cones, drawing rollers, drawing rings, capstan wheels, and bow rollers, in materials ranging from hardened steel and ceramic-coated steel to full ceramic composites and tungsten carbide. We source from a network of qualified tooling manufacturers and supply replacement parts for all major wire drawing machine brands, including wet and dry drawing lines, rod breakdown machines, and multi-pass intermediate drawing benches. Whether you need a single replacement part or a complete set of tooling for a drawing line, we handle sourcing, quality verification, and worldwide delivery.

Drawing cones — also referred to as drawing dies in some machine configurations — are the primary reduction tools in the drawing process. They are available in steel with ceramic oxide coating (aluminium oxide, chromium oxide, or aluminium-titanium oxide), steel with tungsten carbide coating, full ceramic and ceramic-steel composite, and through-hardened special steel, each suited to different wire materials, drawing speeds, and reduction ratios. Drawing rollers serve a similar function in roller die and cassette die configurations, where two or more rolls replace a conventional die to achieve the target cross-section with lower friction and higher dimensional control — a preferred solution for shaped wire, flat wire, and high-alloy materials. Drawing rings are used in the finishing and sizing positions of wet drawing lines, where their bore geometry and surface finish directly determine the final wire diameter and surface quality. All three tool types are supplied with ground and diamond-polished running surfaces as standard.

Beyond the reduction tools themselves, the performance of a wire drawing line depends equally on the capstan wheels, and bow rollers, that transport and direct the wire between passes. Capstan wheels — also called drawing blocks or drawing drums — accumulate the drawn wire and maintain line tension between drawing stages; they are available in ceramic-coated and carbide-coated versions for extended wear resistance in high-speed continuous operation. Bow rollers and deflection rollers redirect the wire path within the machine and are subject to constant abrasive contact; we supply them in ceramic-steel composite and full ceramic versions with finely polished running surfaces.

Many drawing tools — including drawing cones, drawing rollers, and contact tubes — can be reground and refurbished rather than replaced outright, significantly reducing tooling cost per tonne of wire drawn. We work with regrinding partners who can restore worn tools to original specification, extending service life and reducing waste. For tools beyond regrinding, we supply new replacements sourced to your exact geometry and material specification. Our team can work from a worn sample, an existing part number, a technical drawing, or a machine manual to identify or develop the correct replacement. We support customers across all stages of the wire drawing process — from rod breakdown through intermediate drawing to fine wire finishing — and deliver worldwide to keep your lines running.
