Shown below is how one manufacturer of small screws reduced his inventory of C-1018 wire from 24 different sizes to only seven stocked sizes. The first thing he did was to list his required wire diameters (rounded off to the nearest even dimension) as follows: .090 .104 .112 .120 .130 .140 .156 .174 .092 .106 .116 .126 .134 .150 .160 .184 .094 .110 .118 .128 .138 .154 .164 .190 His specific products required limiting the maximum area reduction to about 20%. He immediately realized several advantages. 1. He was able to reduce his stock-sized inventory down to just seven basic sizes. 2. He was able to induce his steel suppliers to eliminate the surcharge for “special tolerance” wire. 3. In most cases he was able to purchase annealed-in-process wire and impose the final draft in-line with the cold headers—thus eliminating the steel supplier’s charge for this finishing draft.

The force required to pull the wire through the drawing die is imparted to the wire by traction on the capstan and the machine’s ability to provide this traction is dependent upon several factors. The principle involved with developing traction is that of a spring clutch a coil spring around a rotating shaft. When the exiting end of a spring is pulled, its inside diameter decreases and comes in contact with the rotating shaft. The ensuing traction transmits torque from the shaft to the spring which rotates along with the shaft. Increasing the number of loops of wire wrapped around the capstan, or increasing the diameter of the capstan improves the traction. Also, increasing the exiting tension of the wire as it leaves the capstan, increases the traction. Capstan Traction with a Wire Relaxer Capstan Traction and the Compensator Arm The Wire Relaxer, a grooved one-way clutched roller, is used to continuously clamp the the last loop securely against the capstan and prevent the wire from springing away. Therefore, with a given capstan diameter, greater traction can be developed allowing heavier drafts or larger wire sizes. Additionally, the Wire Relaxer serves to reduce the exiting tension, resulting in the following benefits: Since almost all wire production machines (cold headers, bolt makers, multi-slide units, and straightening and cutting machines) consume wire intermittently, using a feed-and-dwell cycle, a buffer must be provided during the dwell portion of the cycle. If this is not done, exiting tension will be lost resulting in a loss of traction. 1.Safe removal of the gripper chain during set-up. The compensator arm functions primarily to: 2.The amount of pressure applied to the compensator arm can be reduced, which prevents wire kinking. 1.Provide loop storage so that the production machine can feed-and dwell while the wire drawer operates continuously. 3.With reduced compensator arm pressure and with reduced exiting tension, short feeds on the production machine are virtually eliminated. 2.Maintain just the right amount of pull or exiting tension to insure proper traction with minimal wire slippage. 3.Using AUTODRAW®, RMG’s unique Automatic Speed Trim Control system, it automatically increases or decreases the speed of the wire drawer so that it exactly matches the speed of the production machine. If the exiting tension is not sufficient to keep the wire tightly wrapped around the drum, traction will be lost. This is why the relationship of the wire diameter and the capstan diameter is important. Large-diameter and/or high-tensile wire resists bending and tends to spring away from the drum. Small diameter and/or low-tensile wire clings more easily around the capstan’s surface.

Lower Material Costs Using hot-rolled rod (for any wire diameter .218” (5.5 mm) and larger) and/or semi-finished wire will give your company a competitive edge and improve profits. 2. Utilize Just-In-Time Inventory An in-line wire drawer at the point of wire consumption is the ultimate in JIT inventory management. By careful selection of parent diameters and drawing many different sizes from a few stock sizes, inventory dollars can be reduced considerably. 3. Provide Exact Diameter Control 2.2 An in-line wire drawer provides the perfect diameter at the point of use, consistently, from coil-to-coil. Consistent volume control depends upon exact diameter control. 4. Improve Metal Formability Freshly drawn wire is easier to form and the heat generated by the drawing process improves the cold forming process. Many difficult cold-headed specials cannot be produced without utilizing a wire drawer. 5. Improve Tooling Life Parts produced using freshly drawn wire require less forming force, thereby improving tooling life. In addition, consistent volume control means consistent heading tonnage which, in turn, consumes less tools. 6. Improved Wire Surface Conditions The surface of wire drawn in-line has no chance to rust or deteriorate. Additionally, you can control the quality, type and amount of wire lubricant in your own production process. 7. Eliminate Short Feeds Before They Occur RMG’s AUTODRAW Speed Control System matches the consumption rate of the production machine. All tension is removed from the feed rolls. Also, STARTGARD, SLIPGARD and TANGLEGARD sense any problem with the process and stop the production machine before a shortfeed occurs. 8. Eliminate Wire Kinks Wire drawn in-line is always smooth and straight with no kinks and of the highest quality. 9. Employ any Coil Size or Weight An RMG wire drawer does all the work of turning the coil, eliminating the load on the feed rolls, regardless of coil size. 10. Increase Overall Performance When you consider the improvements associated with an RMG machine in regards to material cost, tool usage, coil change time and the ability to use larger coils, it’s easy to understand why a header utilizing an RMG in-line wire drawer will outperform one that doesn’t in both cost and consistency of product.

AUTODRAW eliminates the necessity of precisely hand-regulating the capstan speed to the wire consumption rate of the production machine. Utilizing the AUTODRAW system, the capstan speed automatically matches the wire speed. All control functions are automatically executed starting and stopping whenever the production machine starts and stops. Large capacity powder box may be used for either wet or dry lubricants. On Models 12 through 910, the draw box is inclined to prevent spillage of liquid lubricants and is provided with a gasket for sealing the die end of the draw box. The draw box is set up for 3” (75 mm) diameter die casings. Bushings are available for smaller dies. On the Model 1011 and larger machines, the draw box is horizontal and is equipped with a return port for circulating liquid lubrication systems. These larger models are set up with a 5” (125 mm) die pocket to accommodate larger dies and pressure holder die assemblies. All draw box entrances are set up to accept an old draw die as an entrance guide bushing. Additionally, all RMG draw boxes come with a clear plastic cover for housekeeping purposes. RMG’s Patented Wire Relaxer The Wire Relaxer is a grooved, oneway clutched roller used to continually clamp the last loop of wire around the capstan. It keeps all the loops tightly wrapped around the capstan, and prevents the wire from springing away. Greater traction can be developed with a given capstan diameter. This allows heavier drafts or larger wire diameter to be drawn with little or no wire slippage. This feature also keeps the wire firmly in place while allowing safe removal of the gripper chain. Machine Enclosures Utilizing single side panels, as well as access doors when necessary, all RMG enclosures are easy to remove for periodic service. Smooth enamel finishes contribute to reduced housekeeping and maintenance expenses. Capstan RMG high quality polished capstans made from D2 tool steel, throughhardened to maximum hardness are the most reliable in the industry. Gear Boxes Extremely rugged high-torque gear boxes support and drive the capstan assemblies on all RMG machine models. SLIPGARD Wire Drawers Specifications for the RMG In-Line Wire Processing Machines All RMG variable frequency and hydraulic wire drawers are fully automatic throughout their complete speed range. AUTODRAW® automatically regulates drawing speed to match wire consumption rate TANGLEGARD 2.4 Electrical Interconnects These three unique control features stop short feeds before they occur: STARTGARD prevents starting of the production machine if the operator has forgotten to place the wire drawing machine in a ready condition. SLIPGARD signals the production machine to stop if the capstan cannot produce wire as fast as required. TANGLEGARD provides a signal to stop the production machine if a tangle develops on the uncoiling unit and the wire drawer moves. Variable Frequency (VF) Drives Variable frequency drive technology provides smooth, maintenance-free, fully-automatic speed control and is available on all RMG Wire Drawers. Hydraulic Drives RMG’s fully-automatic hydraulic drives are designed and built by RMG and include many features normally associated with heavy-duty hydrostatic transmissions including forced-cooling, filtration, low fluid level protection, and dynamic braking.

Pressure dies help to establish better lubricant coating and maintain that lubricant film in subsequent drafts. The optional rod guide ring is often specified when the wire drawing machine is intended to be used with flippers or wherever there is a possibility of badly kinked rod approaching the entrance of the wire drawer. These roller assemblies are helpful in guiding the rod into the draw box, minimizing damage to the rod. This is especially important on applications involving extruded parts, which can be very sensitive to variations in the amount of lubricant on the wire. Pressure die holders are a simple method of introducing the pressure die/drawing die combination in a wire drawing operation. The pressure die is before the drawing die. With a slightly tapered outside diameter, the pressure die holder is accurately aligned and firmly held in the die box. It can be introduced into most die boxes with a minimum of fitting. Wire Drawers RMG Wire Drawer Accessories 2.17 Large Diameter Compensator Wheel These 9” (230 mm) diameter aluminum wheels are used to eliminate kinking of small wire diameters. Electrical Interconnects These three unique control features stop the production process if a problem occurs: TANGLEGARD provides a signal to stop the production machine if a tangle develops on the uncoiling unit, causing the wire drawer to move. STARTGARD prevents starting of the production machine if the operator has forgotten to place the wire drawing machine in a ready condition. SLIPGARD signals the production machine to stop if the capstan cannot produce wire as fast as the machine requires. Wire Relaxer Assemblies Pneumatic Type Single Patented RMG Wire Relaxer Assemblies include a grooved roller which is equipped with a non-reversing bearing, which firmly holds the last loop of wire on the capstan’s surface. This nonreversing bearing prevents the wire from “backing-up” on the capstan, which reduces the pull-back on the wire entering the production machine. This feature also keeps the wire firmly in place while removing the gripper during set-up. This is a cylinderactuated assembly (usually used with wire sizes larger than .280”/7.0 mm) used only on Models 56 and 67. On the Model 67 it is furnished as standard, and is an optional assembly on the Model 56. Pneumatic Type Double This double-roller arrangement is standard on all Model 78 through Model 1112 machines. SLIPGARD TANGLEGARD Extra-Heavy Wire Relaxers RMG wire drawer Models 910, 1011 and 1112 are equipped with 5”(125 mm) extra wide rollers with two heavy-duty bearings per roller. Models 1214 and 1416 are equipped with four 5”(125 mm) extra wide rollers with two heavy-duty bearings per roller. RMG offers a number of accessory items for use with wire drawing machines. Wire Drawers RMG Wire Drawer Accessories Capstan Enclosures Although RMG’s standard capstan covers are usually regarded as the most convenient way of covering the pinchpoint areas on the capstan, these capstan enclosures are available on all in-line wire drawing machines. 2.18 Replacement Filter Elements The only routine maintenance normally required on hydrostatic transmissions is periodic oil and filter replacement. A spare filter is included with each machine and additional replacement filters can be ordered directly from RMG. Fused Disconnect Switch A fused disconnect switch is not provided on RMG machines unless specified. This is available as a panel-mounted NEMA-12 fused disconnect which is operated through the panel door and includes a door-interlock mechanism. Roller Assembly This device is added to high speed wire drawers, when used with straightening and cutting machines, to guide and align the wire as it enters the straightening and cutting machine. H-304 Low Fluid Level Detector Switch This device is used to indicate (by lighting a pilot light) a low fluid level in the reservoir, and is standard on all RMG hydraulic drives. Wire Drawers RMG Wire Drawer Accessories 2.19 Cut-Off Saw A 1 hp (.75 kW) TEFC motor drives the tool steel saw through a wormgear. A pneumatic clamp firmly holds the wire/rod and prevents chatter. Electrical interlocks ensure that the header feed is prevented when the clamp is engaged. The saw blade is completely enclosed with an automatic opening/closing guard. 6” Feedhead Huskie Cutters for Wire and Rod On intermediate RMG models 89, 910 and 1011 the 6” (150 mm) feed head is available to customers requiring material handling assistance. RMG Huskie Cutters offer all users of low carbon to mild steel max. 85,000 psi (60 kg/mm2) large-diameter wire and rod the ability to cut their raw material with the following advantages: Performing the same task as on the largest wire drawers, this unit enables the operator to straighten and advance the wire, to the next operation, at the push of a button. Safety - Cut end simply drops off safely and easily compared to chisel-type cutters. Ease of Operation - Cutters develop tons of shear force with hand-operated hydraulic pump. Improved Shear Quality - Overlapping blades with full-radius contour provides improved shear surface. Convenience - The Huskie Cutter eliminates the need for an electrically operated power pack. Cut-Off Saw shown attached to a wire drawer feedhead. Pendant Control Station RMG Huskie Cutters are available in two sizes 5/8”(16 mm) and 1” (25.4 mm) and are particularly useful around cold headers, bolt-makers, nut formers, wire drawing machinery and other large-diameter wire and rod production machinery. This arrangement is optional on Model 12 through 89 wire drawers; standard on 910 through 1416 machines. The pendant permits operation of the unit away from the draw box area.

Although butt-welding a slightly smaller wire to the heead end of the wire to be drawn represents one common method of providing the pointed end, under some circumstances it is more practical to use a pointer. This technique “necks down” a section of the parent wire and permits it to be inserted through the drawing die for initial set up. For small wire sizes, .060” (1.5 mm) to .250” (6.4 mm), two common methods are pull pointing and roll pointing. Pull pointers can be mounted on each wire drawer but, because the capstan is used to power the pointer, pull pointers interfere with production. Roll pointers stand alone allowing the wire to be pointed ahead of string-up and, one unit can service several wire drawers. For medium wire sizes, .250” (6.4 mm) to .500” (12.7 mm), the pull pointer is a good inexpensive method because it uses the capstan to provide the substantial pull required. However, as mentioned before, the pull pointer interrupts production. For large wire sizes, .500” (12.7 mm) to 1.00” (25.4 mm), the self-contained hydraulic push pointer will provide the power necessary, and pointing can be accomplished “off-line” as with a roll pointer. RMG Pull Pointing Operation Type RA Pull Pointer Description Box only (no tools) Die Holder Stock Dies Die Dimensions (in.) 1. The head end of the wire is inserted through the Type RA pointer assembly. The gripper is attached to the wire. 2. The machine is jogged and about 6” (150 mm) of wire is reduced to a diameter about .006” (.15 mm) to .010” (.25 mm) smaller than the finished wire diameter. 3. The reduced portion is cut with bolt cutters before removing the gripper chain and before removing the wire from the pointer assembly. Any residual fins are removed by filing. 4. This operation results in a reduced diameter on the head-end of the wire, which can be inserted through the drawing die. .250” (6.4 mm) Max. .450” (11.4 mm) Max. .550” (14.0 mm) Max. .650” (16.5 mm) Max.

These costs can be cut 20% by mechanically descaling in-house. RMG Mechanical Descalers 3.1 Economic Considerations Almost all wire products are produced from coiled wire drawn from either chemically or mechanically descaled rod. Due to economic and environmental considerations chemical descaling (pickling and liming) has become a thing of the past, with two possible exceptions: Almost any company that purchases cold-drawn wire can lower costs and improve productivity by procuring inexpensive green (non-descaled) rod and producing their own cleaned and drawn wire in-line with their existing production process. Two immediate cost benefits will be realized: 1. Cold-heading-quality wire which requires an extremely clean surface for enhancing the extrusion process. 1. Material costs can be cut 20%. 2. Plating-quality wire which requires an extremely clean surface for elec tro-chemical bonding, and appear- ance purposes. Virtually all other wire products can, and should, be produced from mechanically-descaled material especially parts that are subsequently plastic coated or painted. Mechanical descaling can be accomplished either at the wire mill or, better yet, immediately before the wire is converted into its final or semi-finished form. The problem of providing suitable coatings or corrosion resistance when descaled and drawn wire is produced at a remote wire mill precludes procuring mechanically-descaled wire from these commercial mills. Therefore, the most practical method of producing this material is just before the wire is converted into a straightened, formed, or welded part on site. This especially applies when wire diameter is .218” (5.5 mm) and larger which permits combination single-hole drawing and descaling. 2. Since rod coils are usually available in weights that are double the weight of wire coils, the production pro- cess can become much more efficient because of the longer sustained pro- duction runs with minimum time lost for coil changeover. Reverse-Bending Mechanical Descalers There are two principle methods of mechanical descaling: Shot-blasting and reverse-bending. Shot-blasting is usually confined to rod diameters larger than .625” (16 mm). Reverse-bending the rod is predominantly done on rod diameters less than .625” (16 mm). This simple process employs, in most cases, two sheaves oriented at right angles to each other. The rod is pulled over and through the sheaves which causes reverse flexing and both compresive and tensile bending on all four sectors of the rod. The combination of the reverse bending and stretching forces causes the rod to severely elongate and, in fact, it is this elongating process that causes the scale to break away from the surface of its steel parent. Steel is relatively elastic; the laminar ferrous oxide scale is almost completely inelastic and easily fractures and falls away from the rod. The amount of scale, and the strength of the bond which holds it to the rod’s surface, varies with the rod mill’s manufacturing practices and is controllable. It is important to tell your rod supplier that you plan to mechanically-descale the rod. The mill can then contribute to somewhat easier scale removal by controlling rod production time and temperatures. Keeping the rod’s surface dry and storing indoors also facilitates scale removal. The amount of elongation imposed on the rod as it traverses through the descaler is a direct function of the pitch diameter of the reverse-bending sheaves. Scale starts to break loose at an elongation of about 5%. At 8% to 9% most of the scale has broken off. Cleaning Techniques The breaker rolls can only reverse-bend the wire. Residual dust and scale must be cleaned off the rod before descaling is considered complete. The “air wipe” method using a carbide-inserted guide assembly has proven to be the most economic and effective method of surface dust removal. Using an exiting air-wipe assembly and a liquid lube box on the wire drawing machine provides the best combination for effectively cleaning the material especially when the lube system includes a recirculating pump, a particle settling tank, and a filtering system.

The MD-10 consists of four principle parts: 1. An entrance guide assembly with hardened guide rollers. Descalers 2. A two-roll reverse bending assembly with replaceable carbide inserts. 3. A carbide-inserted air wipe assembly for blowing off residual dust. Air consumption is very low. When used with a wire drawer, an electrically- interlocked solenoid valve is pro- vided which automatically shuts off air supply when the wire drawer stops. 4. A hinged, covered enclosure with facilities for connecting to a dust collecting unit for accumulation and removal of scale. The MD-10 accommodates two rod diameter ranges: 7/32” (5.6 mm) to 9/32” (7.1 mm) using 2.5” (63.5 mm) pitch-diameter breaker rolls and 9/32” (7.1 mm) to 13/32” (10.4 mm) using 3.25” (82.5 mm) diameter breaker rolls. The MD-10 descaler is designed to be used with RMG in-line wire drawers that have provision for attaching the descaler. Existing wire drawers can be modified in order to accept a descaler. RMG’s Model 67 28” (700 mm) capstan wire drawer is used, in most cases, to provide the tractive drawing force for pulling the rod through the descaler’s breaker rolls and for drawing the wire. However, on relatively slowspeed applications of about 100 fpm (31 m/min) and slower, it is possible to adapt a smaller Model 56 (24”/600 mm capstan), providing the wire diameter after drawing will be under .200” (5.0 mm). Features and Benefits Simplicity and Ease of Set-up: designed to permit the operator to set-up the machine quickly and easily. Easy Scale Removal: for either dumping into tote pans or for use with central station scale-handling and dust collecting equipment.

Following are specifications for use of each method: Turntables Diameter range: Up to .500” (12.7 mm) Material: Wire or rod Flippers Diameter range: .218” to .625” (5.5 to 16 mm) Material: Rod only Power-Driven Uncoilers Diameter range: .500” to 1.75” (12.7 to 45 mm) Material: Wire or rod Turntables Turntables represent the most commonly used method of payoff for all wire and rod sizes up to 1/2” (12.7 mm). Relatively low in cost, turntables facilitate material storage and handling. They require a minimum amount of floor space. The only disadvantage associated with turntables is that the entire production process must be stopped during coil changeover. This is not a serious consideration on applications involving wire sizes smaller than 1/4” (6.3 mm). However, on larger diameter applications the downtime associated can be a serious consideration particularly with high-speed headers or straightening and cutting machines. Flippers Flippers are ideally used for rod sizes up to 5/8” (16 mm). Downtime due to coil changeover can be completely eliminated by using double-end coil stands or flippers. Since the coil is stationary and not rotating, the end of the active coil can be butt-welded to the beginning of the standby coil. When the active coil is depleted, the operator rotates the flipper so that the standby-coil becomes the active coil, allowing continuous operation of the wire drawing machine and production machine. Flipping is limited to applications involving the payoff of hot rolled rod into an in-line wire drawer. Flippers require more space than turntables but on certain higher speed applications, the advantage of being able to enjoy continuous parts production outweighs the floor space consideration. Power-Driven Uncoilers Power-driven uncoilers represent the best payoff method for uncoiling large diameter stock 1/2” to 1-3/4” (12.7 to 45 mm). Equipped with power-driven feed rolls and a straightener, these uncoilers pre-feed and prestraighten the stock, enabling the operator to get the end of large diameter material to the next operation at the push of a button. They also sense the coil condition and power rotate the coil, when necessary, maintaining a smooth material flow. Welding Butt welding is an integral part of the wire production process. Joining the end of one coil to the beginning of the next coil eliminates the need to restring the wire drawer. When flipping, this is done while production continues. With the use of a turntable, although production must cease, welding is still an advantage to avoid having to restring the wire drawer. In all cases, the actual weld is removed during the production process. Welding can aslo be used as a pointing tool for large diameters, if desired. Pointing In setting up a wire drawing machine, it is necessary to provide a pointed end on the wire or rod. This pointed end is inserted through the drawing die and clamped by a gripper chain which is used to wrap the capstan with the wire. Uncoilers/Payoff Equipment Uncoiling One of the best methods of providing this pointed end is to simply butt-weld a slightly smaller length of wire, about 6” to 8” long, to the head end of the coil. Applications involving smaller wire diameters usually do not require butt welding. Alternative pointing methods are: 1. Pull pointing. 2. Roll pointing. 3. Push pointing. 4. Grinding. Shown here are typical floor plans featuring a Flipper payoff arrangement or Turntable payoff arrangement RMG Payoff Equipment 5.2 General Notes 4. Floor plan layouts shown here rep resent right to left wire flow, which usually applies only to cold heading applications. Straightening and cutting machines and some other applications use a reverse layout. 2. Dimension G assumes feed roll height is equal to draw box height H. If feed roll height is lower than H, add 4” (101.6 mm) to G for each one inch that feed rolls are lower than H. 1. Suggested distances between machines and payoff units should be regarded as approximate. RMG’s estimates have taken into consideration wire and rod diameters, wire speed, ease of set-up for operator and wire behavior with respect to both diameter and stiffness. 3. For high speed applications (higher than 150 fpm/45.7 m/min.) distance JJ should be increased. Submit all details to RMG for recommendations.

Integrated straightener for pre- straightening the wire located on the side of the feedhead. Includes sim- ple, one-stop straightening adjust ment. Benefits Reduced downtime A power-driven uncoiler prefeeds and prestraightens the stock, and delivers it over into the feeding mechanism of the cold former, with less downtime and with the quickest possible coil changeover. And, when it comes to reducing coil changeover time no other method can match the efficiency of an RMG power driven uncoiler. Reduced Load on the Feed Rolls The uncoiler’s ability to reduce the coil’s load on the feeding mechanism reduces the possibilities of short feeds. This is accomplished by: • continuous (adjustable speed) or intermittent power-driven coil rota- tion. • built-in snag switch for the “bound coil” condition. • rugged RMG coil splitter rollers reduce coil tangling. Reduced Manpower Power driven uncoilers provide the most efficient, safest and easiest method of handling large diameter coils. One man, with the aid of only pushbutton controls, can load large coils. Safe Operation Uncoilers/Payoff Equipment 6. Air actuators for engaging feed rolls are located at back of unit, out of harm’s way. Every aspect of coil handling is improved when an RMG power-driven uncoiler is used. Straightening the tail end of the stock when the coil is depleted is easily done. Operator fatigue is minimized and the possibility of accidents is reduced. General Specifications for RMG Power-Driven Uncoilers RMG Power-Driven Uncoilers 5.4 Typical Model Designation Transmission Equipment 20 24-01 Fixed Speed (-01 Designation) Standard (-01) models use a TEFC motor and worm gear speed reducer which chain-drives the feed rolls and coil support mandrel. A one-way clutch allows the feed rolls and coil support mandrel to “over-run” when the cold former pulls the stock. Reversing the direction of rotation is accomplished by automatically “locking-out” the over-running clutch whenever the reverse button is pressed. Uncoilers/Payoff Equipment Adjustable Speed (-02 Designation) Adjustable speed models (-02) are usually employed on applications involving wire/rod consumption faster than 30 fpm (9 m/min). An AC variable frequency drive controls the speed of a TEFC motor. This motor drives the speed reducer which chain-drives the feed rolls the same as with a fixed speed uncoiler. The advantage with adjustable speed is that the entire coil can be continuously rotated at a speed approximately equal to the consumption rate. This not only alleviates most of the load on the production machine’s feed rolls, but assures that the coil is in a “loose”, tangle-free condition. A calibrated potentiometer provides a reference for the operator so that once he has determined the proper uncoiling speed for the job, he can reset the speed for the same application in the future. Max. alloy size in 1/16” Max. mild steel size in 1/16” Drive Designation -01: Fixed Speed -02: Adjustable Speed TANGLEGARD Feed Rolls All RMG Power-Driven Uncoilers are equipped with a coil sensor. Whenever the coil begins to cinch-up or bind: V-grooved feed rolls are standard for hot-rolled rod with a range of approximately .130” (3.5 mm). Full contoured rolls are recommended for drawn wire. Standard feed rolls are case hardened thru-hardened rolls are available as part of a “green rod” kit, which also includes thru-hardened straightener, guide and splitter rolls. 1. 2. On -01 models, the coil support mandrel is power rotated. On -02 models, the coil support mandrel is power rotated, and if the coil continues to cinch-up or tighten, the mandrel rpm is increased. After the coil frees up, the mandrel will continue to run at the increased rpm for a brief period, determined by a timer setting. This is another setting that may be recorded for future reference. 3. On both -01 and -02 models, a snag detector option is available so that if the coil continues to bind up, the sensor will send a signal to the pro duction machine, thus stopping the process before a short feed occurs. All RMG Power-Driven Uncoilers are arranged for quick changing of the feed rolls. Pneumatic Equipment Unique heavy duty actuators provide power and dependability for the feed rolls and straightener. All necessary filters are provided as standard equipment and all valves are manifold mounted, with visual indicators, plug-in solenoids and mechanical overrides.

RMG Power-Driven Uncoilers 5.6 Feed Roll Selection Chart 5/8” 16 mm 1/2” 12 mm (Order Feed Rolls Using 2-Digit Numbers) 3/4” 19 mm 7/8” 22 mm 1” 25 mm -09 1-1/8” 29 mm 1-1/4” 32 mm 1-3/8” 35 mm -17 -11 -19 -23 -15 -13 1. How much distance should we allow between the uncoiler and the cold former (or wire drawer)? When the feed roll height of the cold former is the same as the uncoiler, only three feet is required. For each inch of difference in this height, add six inches to the distance between the two machines. 2. Can RMG provide higher feed roll heights? UNCOILERS/PAYOFF EQUIPMENT 1-1/2” 38 mm Yes. We accomplish this by altering the basic dimensions of the machine frame. We must always anticipate an O.D. coil dimension of 50” (1270 mm), therefore we would not consider lowering the feed roll height. 3. Will RMG machines accommodate 6000 lb. coils? Although the table on page 5.2 indicates that the Model 2024 will accommodate 7000 lb. coils, the actual weight depends on the physical size of the bundle. A 7000 lb. coil of 5/8” material may be too large, whereas a 7000 lb. coil of 1-1/2” material can easily be accommodated. 4. When should adjustable-speed drives be used? Generally speaking, whenever the uncoiling speed exceeds 30 fpm (9 m/min.), and on most long-stroke applications involving cut-off blank lengths of 8” (203 mm) or longer. The adjustable- -21 speed drive is always a good investment because it can be set up to continuously rotate the coil, helping to reduce the load on the cold former’s feed rolls. This minimizes the possibility of short feeding, and at the same time minimizes coil tangling. 5. Why not keep the feed rolls of the uncoiler engaged all the time? Wouldn’t this provide even greater assistance to the cold former’s feed rolls? In theory, this is a good idea. In practice, it can’t work unless the uncoiler could be moved back about 25 feet (7.6 m) to allow a “storage loop” to make up for differences in feed roll timing, velocity characteristics of the cold former’s feed rolls, etc. 6. Should the uncoiler be anchored to the floor? Yes, four hold down holes are provided. 7. On a typical cold-former or boltmaker application, why not keep the uncoiler’s straightening rolls engaged at all times? This isn’t advisable. In the first place, these straightening rolls are not designed for continuous straightening. In the second place, the additional load imposed on the cold former’s feed rolls—along with perhaps a 2000 lb. (907 kg), 3000 lb. (1361 kg) or 4000 lb. (1814 kg) coil—might do more harm than good. 8. Can we use coils wound with a lefthand pitch interchangeably with those wound with a right-hand pitch? Almost all coils of hot-rolled rod and wire produced in North America are wound with a right-hand pitch, so that they uncoil from left to right. It is impractical to attempt mixing-up LH and RH pitch coils. While RMG machines may be arranged to be field-changed to accommodate either LH or RH pitch coils, it means the uncoiler must be pointed 180° in the opposite direction and the location of the straightening assembly changed. 9. We have quite an inventory of feed rolls for our existing combination prefeeders and uncoilers. Can we interchange RMG feed rolls with our existing machines? Yes, on all types except the Malmadie (or W-F) type of prefeeders. 10. What range of rod and wire sizes will the feed rolls accommodate? When used for uncoiling wire, the feed rolls must be machined exactly to the finished cold-drawn wire size. This prevents deformation of the accurately-sized wire. When used for uncoiling rod, the feed rolls are machined with a V-grooved configuration which accommodates a range of approximately 1/8”/3.30 mm (± 1/16”/1.52 mm). Feed rolls for rod should be selected using the chart shown above.

Chain Puller Attachment RMG’s space-saving “Z” configuration allows flipping where space constraints have previously prohibited use. RMG Z-Flippers 5.10 Recognized as the industry’s most rugged coil stand, the RMG Z-Flipper is designed to accommodate two coils and permits continuous pay-off of wire or rod when used in conjunction with an in-line wire drawing machine. Operation The active coil is pulled off while the stand-by coil is loaded. While the production machine continues to produce parts, the operator unbands the stand-by coil and butt welds the head-end to the tail- end of the active coil. When the active coil is depleted, the operator turns the flipper to bring the stand-by coil into position while the production machine continues to produce parts. No downtime is required for coil changeover. Uncoilers/Payoff Equipment Features and Benefits 1.The combination of the lower restrainer bar and the upper escape ment ramp allows only one loop to exit at a time, minimizing the chance of tangling. The lower escapement has an adjustable spring tension for fine tuning wire behavior. RMG Z-Flipper with saddle option. Note: RMG flippers are also available in an “S” configuration (mirror image of “Z” flipper) to accomodate creative floor plans. 2.Coil weight is not a limiting factor. These units are designed to accommo- date any coil providing its size, when unbanded, does not exceed the CW dimension. 3. Equipped with tapered roller anti friction bearings and a heavy-duty stop, the RMG flipper is regarded by operators as the easiest to rotate and position. 4.No special foundations required. Standard anchor bolts are used. 5. Flippers are available with rectangu- lar tubular arms for diameters over .375” (9.5 mm). Saddles are recom- mended for smaller diameters. Specifications Max. Rec.

RMG Turntables for Wire and Rod 5.11 Standard-Duty Turntables Typical coil weight capacities up to 4000 lbs. (1814 kg), standard plate diameters of 30” (762 mm), 40” (1016 mm) and 50” (1270 mm), and with many optional arrangements. Heavy-Duty Turntables Heavy-Duty turntables should be used whenever the use of very heavy coil weights (in excess of 4000 lbs./1814 kg) is anticipated, or there is a requirement for 60” (1524 mm) or 70” (1778 mm) plates, or whenever loose coil loading is required. RMG turntables are equipped with the industry’s most rugged spindle and bearing assembly, with an exclusive gusseted design which resists damage. The bearing assembly is accessible from above the top plate for inspection, servicing and adjustment without removing the top plate. Tubular Coil Loading Systems Turntables for tubular carriers (high hats) represent one of the most practical methods for paying-off wire and rod into wire drawing machines or directly into the cold header or other wire production machine. Turntable Dimensions Maximum Coil Weight Standard TCL Dimensions “D” “F” “H” Coils of wire or rod in the 2000-4000 lb. (907-1814 kg) range can be accommodated due to the turntable’s very high weight capacity and low center of gravity. This permits longer, uninterrupted production runs often with significant improvement in operating efficiency. Tubular carrier (exploded view) Optional adjustable spider Heavy-Duty Turntables Specifications Standard-Duty Turntables Specifications Model Tubular carriers for accommodating wire or hot rolled rod provide a safe and economical means for storing, handling and shipping the material. After loading the wire on the tubular carriers, the package is set on the turntable and the wire or rod pays-off with a greater measure of safety and with less possibility of tangling.

Optional Accessories for RMG Turntables 5.12 Mechanical Brake Wire Basket Uncoilers/Payoff Equipment This is a solid steel ring welded to the circumference of the turntable plate. Unlike most advertised “snag rings”, RMG’s basket construction is virtually indestructable. The basket helps prevent random loops dropping below the turntable’s plate. On most applications, selecting the next larger top plate represents a better way of preventing random loops from dropping below the top plate. On high-speed applications, a combination of a larger top plate and an electrically-interlocked air brake is the best way of preventing overcoasting and random loops. This is simply a manually adjustable friction-type brake and is usually not recommended because the constant drag tends to cause the wire to cinch up. RMG’s mechanical brake offer’s two distinct advantages: 1.RMG’s brake construction prevents damage to the brake mechanism. 2.The braking action is applied on the bottom surface of the top plate near the outboard edge. This provides much better control of the braking drag force. Air Brake Especially suitable for relatively highspeed applications in excess of 100 fpm (30.5 m/m) or whenever the product of the coil weight times the speed in fpm exceeds 300,000. (For example, 2000 lbs x 150 fpm = 300,000). The air brake permits the coil to rotate freely during normal uncoiling. When the wire production machine stops, air is directed to two equally balanced air cylinders (four cylinders on heavy-duty turntables) for controlled deceleration. Electro-pneumatic air valve not included with air brake. Mechanical Brake Air Brake Wire Basket Solenoid Valve for Air Brake This is a three-way solenoid valve used to direct air pressure to the turntable’s air brake whenever the production machine stops. Air pressure is automatically relieved from the air brake whenever the production machine starts. RMG Variable Frequency Drive Power-Assisted Turntables RMG power-assisted turntables have been designed to augment the RMG standard free wheeling turntables, which have been regarded as the standard of the industry. At RMG, we’ve designed these turntables to be responsive to higher production speeds and larger coil weights, as well as to meet the demands for a simple, effective, easy to service turntable that is responsive to all operating conditions. 5.13 Features 1.

Dancer arm has a 60 degree rotation for arm placement. 17. Controls conveniently and safely located. How the system works Air adjustable tension dancer arm senses the demand of the production machine under all operating conditions. This arm controls the operation of a variable frequency drive controller which changes the speed of the top plate. As the production machine decelerates and stops, the control arm automatically returns to the stop position. Using dynamic breaking the VF drive reduces the coil rpm. When the control arm reaches the stop position D/C injection braking is applied to bring the coil to a complete stop. This speed control system enables the unit to match the consumption rate of the production equipment greatly reducing load on the feeding system. Uncoilers/Payoff Equipment 7.

A minimum range ratio of 4 to 1 can be accommodated on any RMG straightener frame size. 3.Complete line from .030” to 1.75” (0.8 mm to 45 mm). 4.Modular construction. Most RMG Integrated Wire Straighteners can be changed in the customer’s plant from left-to- right or right-to-left wire flow, and for either horizontal or vertical uncoil- ing. Complete assemblies can be fur- nished using a different number of rolls in each plane. 5.Many unique construction features, including universal X-Y-Z axis adjustment, sealed double-row ball bearing construction, and carbide entrance guide bushings. 6.Use with either power-driven feed rolls or power-driven uncoilers. RMG custom-designed adjustable speed drives can be used to automate and provide controlled, power-driven feeding systems for certain types of feeding, straightening and cutting sys- tems. Seven basic frames accommodate all RMG Integrated Wire Assemblies. These frames fall into three separate categories: SS - 0213 Frame Size* SS-Small MS-Medium LS-Large KS-King size JS-Jumbo HS-Huge GS-Gargantuan * Note that these frame designators are in reverse alphabetical order. Nominal Wire Diameter (in millimeters) Number of Rolls in Each Plane Model SS and MS Straighteners The most universal assemblies for easy conversion from one diameter range to another. One has only to unscrew one set of rolls and screw in another set to convert it from one diameter range to another. All Model SS and MS mounting frames include pre-tapped holes for roll changing at any time in the future. Model LS, KS and JS Straighteners These models are converted from one range to another by replacing entire sub-assemblies referred to as “rails,” on which the individual rolls are mounted. The bending loads imposed on the shafts by relatively larger wire and rod diameters preclude the use of screw-in mounts. Model HS and GS Straighteners. This type of straightener cannot incorporate easily-removable rolls and mounting shafts or studs. This includes any type of straightener on which a centralized grease lubrication system is specified. Multi-Roll Straighteners Features and Benefits RMG Multi-Roll Wire Straighteners offer the following advantages: RMG Integrated Multi-Roll Wire Straighteners 6.2 All straighteners (except the larger HS and GS units) are available in standard assemblies as either single-plane or double-plane units. Most RMG single-plane assemblies can be converted into double plane assemblies at the customer’s plant. Power-Driven Feed Rolls Power-driven feed roll assemblies can be ordered for all Model LS and larger straightener assemblies. These are usually powered by a 5 HP adjustable speed drive, but many optional drive arrangements are available with custom-designed transmission assemblies. Power-Driven Uncoiler Combinations RMG’s power-driven uncoilers are used for rod and wire diameters in a range of .625” - 1.75” (16 - 45 mm). Type KS and larger straightener assemblies can be easily adapted to these power-driven uncoilers. Roll-type straighteners, including RMG’s Integrator, do not achieve perfect straightness. Only a rotary arbor type straightener can consis- tently provide this straightness qual- ity. 3. Optimum L/d values are usually in a range of 6 to 10 for mild steel. Harder or tougher materials favor a higher value; softer, non-ferrous materials favor lower values. Multi-Roll Straighteners 4. Optimum L/d values are in a range of 6 to 10. The advantages involved in being able to change (1) the number of rolls, (2) the roll center distance and (3) the roll diameter (with a required change in wire diameter) should be obvious. 5. Two-plane straighteners can be assembled to permit wire flow from left-to-right or right-to-left and/or with horizontal plane on right or left. Complete adjustments are pro- vided for wire line alignment in both axis. 02 Size Designator—inch .080 04 .160 06 08 .240 .310 12 16 20 30 40 .470 .630 .780 1.10 1.57 SS (Small) 13 7 5 Number of Rolls (2) Size Designator—mm MS(Medium) 9 7 5 LS (Large) 13 9 7 5 KS(King-size) 11 7 5 JS (Jumbo) 9 7 HS(Huge) GS(Gargantuan) 5 5 5 Roll Diameter .78 1.25 1.78 2.38 4.00 5.00 5.00 7.00 10.00 Center Spacing (L) .63 1.13 1.50 2.00 3.00 4.50 6.00 8.00 11.00 Minimum .030 .080 .100 .125 .200 .350 .500 .700 1.00 Nominal .080 .160 .240 .310 .470 .630 .780 1.10 1.57 Maximum .100 .175 .250 .340 .500 .700 .870 1.30 1.75 Minimum 21.0 14.1 15.0 16.0 15.0 12.9 12.0 11.4 11.0 Nominal 7.9 7.1 6.3 6.5 6.4 7.1 7.7 7.3 7.0 Maximum 6.3 6.5 6.0 5.9 6.0 6.4 6.9 6.2 6.3 935 3122 Recommended Wire Diameter (d) 2.

The object is to cause the wire to reversibly flex beyond its elastic limit as it traverses through the straightening rolls. Most straighteners in use today provide a screw adjustment on each individual roll and the operator individually adjusts each roll to achieve the desired straightness. The usual set-up procedure is to adjust the rolls so that a greater degree of offset or reverse-bending is imposed on the upstream rolls at positions 1-2-3. The downstream rolls (5-6-7) are adjusted so that gradually less reverse-bending is imposed upon the wire as it traverses through the straightener. The final set of rolls should impose just enough reversebending to flex the wire just very slightly beyond its elastic limit and hope that it “springs back” to a reasonably straight condition. How The Integrator works The Integrator 6.3 straightener and usually requires readjustment only when the wire diameter is changed. The force required for reverse-bending the wire is imposed by the quick-release handle working against the upper plate assembly. The upper plate is slotted and secured in place by two socket head cap screws. Re-tightening of the cap screws after each opening and closing of the straightener is usually necessary only on intermittent-feed applications. Easy Conversion to Two Planes Complete adjustments are provided for wire-line alignment in both axis. Standardized mounting holes are provided to permit field conversion from left-to-right or right-to-left with the horizontal plane mounted either right or left. The quick-release handle is screwed downwards, tilting the upper movable plate assembly until it bottoms out against the setting of the thumb screw. This thumb screw is adjusted up or down so that the wire exiting from the straightener has been subjected to minimum reverse bending at rolls 5-6-7 just enough to attain desired straightness. Essentially, all rolls are positioned relative to each other, and in a controlled, integrated manner with this single position-limiting thumb screw. Optional Accessories The Integrator’s Unique Features 3.Entrance roller guides and end-of-coil detection switches. “Three-in-One” Construction Two basic-size straighteners each accommodate three different sets of rolls on different center distances. Therefore, RMG can offer six different models in two basic sizes. To change the straightener over to a different wire diameter range, simply unscrew one set of rolls and replace with another set. We provide a number of standard optional accessories and mounting arrangements with RMG integrated wire and rod straighteners: 1.Heavy-duty frames for mounting Model SS and larger straighteners. These are typically supplied when ever RMG power-driven feed rolls are required. 2. Fixed-speed or adjustable-speed drives for power-driven feed rolls. 4. Straightener benches are available to support all sizes. All lower rolls are attached to the fixed lower plate along a straight line. The upper set of rolls are attached to a tiltable upper plate which pivots about a set screw. This pivot-point set screw determines the degree of relativelyhigher reverse-bending imposed upon the wire on the entering end of the Saves operator time and effort and achieves optimum wire straightness with minimum pull-back being imposed upon the wire. Straightness-setting thumb screw is changeable from left side to right side, permitting either leftto-right or right-to-left wire flow. Quick-Release with Memory Return Whenever the quick-release handle is disengaged and re-engaged, it always returns the upper roll assembly to the predetermined position.
