Design of Wire Rod Rolling Steel Workshop
Introduction
Wire Rod Rolling Steel Workshop is a processing line that performs rolling and forming operations to transform wire rod into various cross section shapes and sizes. The line comprises many operations, such as feeding and straightening, cutting, cooling and separating, shearing and bending, welding, coiling and forming. Depending on specific requirements and product configuration, these lines range from basic, single-strand batch feed to more sophisticated, continuous, multiple-strand operations.
Feed and Straightening
The Wire Rod Rolling Steel Workshop includes the feed and straightening units where the round wire rods are fed into the rollers and straightened before they are cut into required sizes. The feed and straightening system use hydraulic or mechanical pressure to straighten the wire rods and can adjust the force and pressure applied for better accuracy and precision.
Cutting
The cutting operation involves the installation of cutting tools such as shears, saws, drills and cone cutters to the line. The process requires the tools to be lined up in the correct configuration and suited for the volume of rods and sizes that needs to be cut. The cutting tools are either manually operated or are computerized and automated to perform the cutting operation efficiently.
Cooling and Separating
The cooling and separating process is crucial in ensuring that the Wire Rod Rolling Steel Workshop operates optimally. The cooling and separating operations are to reduce the temperature of the wire rods and to ensure that the different thickness and sizes are sorted, separated and ready to be used in production. This is accomplished by the use of water jets, cold air and automated cooling tables.
Shearing and Bending
The shearing and bending units use high speed shearing blades and rollers to cut the wire rods into many differently shaped and sized pieces. This is performed to ensure that the Wire Rod Rolling Steel Workshop produce the desired shape and configuration for the product. The shearing and bending process are usually done manually or semi-automatically.
Welding
The welding process is necessary to join the wire rods together. This is especially true for applications where multiple wires are needed or when there are thick rods that need to be welded together. The welding unit includes welding machines and tools that are used to perform the welding process with accuracy and precision.
Coiling and Forming
The coiling and forming operations are normally done at the same time. The coiling process involves winding the wire rods into coils of desired sizes and shapes. This is done using automated coiling machines that can be easily adjusted for different wire lengths and shapes. The forming process is to shape and size the wire rods into the desired shape, size and form. This is commonly done using a die and stamping machines.
Conclusion
The Wire Rod Rolling Steel Workshop is a processing line that is used to produce various sizes and shapes from wire rods. The line consists of many different operations, such as feeding and straightening, cutting, cooling and separating, shearing and bending, welding, coiling and forming. Depending on the production requirements, the line can be designed to include manual, semi-automatic and fully automated operations to ensure optimal results.
