drawing machines
There are industries requiring machines with more performance, suitable
for uninterrupted production even 24 hours a day and able to support heavy
working conditions and strong machining rates: machines made for long-
lasting functioning with few service requirements, designed and realized to
guarantee highest precision and quality; these most exigent industries are
the Euroalpha’s customers.
From ideas to final product, EUROALPHA offers you quality products and
service that will be the best choice for your company needs.
Sincerely Yours.

Euroalpha opted for low-inertia a.c. motors and state-of-the-art vec-
tor inverter drives, to secure best precision speed control through a
maintenance-free system.
Improved algorithm to synchronize motors and minimize slip has
been set up thanks to 16-years continuous research and testing
onto limited-slip technology.
ANNEALERS
Euroalpha design positively affects operations and maintenance,
improves wire quality and it also brings a significant contribution to
running costs savings:

R3 ROD BREAKDOWN MACHINE
R3 is a very high-performance rod breakdown machine with
capstans arranged onto one single row, which overall project
stands out for ergonomic design, solid construction and flexibi-
lity of use.
It can be manufactured for drawing from 1 up to 4 wires simulta-
neously, to meet even the most consistent requirements in terms
of productivity.
A special twin-wire execution for drawing two different finished
sizes at different speeds is also available, in order to enhance
the overall flexibility and productivity of the line.
Submerged lubrication with fully watertight operations is com-
bined with easy access to capstans and dies during string-up
thanks to a sliding steel bulkhead in front of the capstans, mo-
ving downwards and upwards for string-up and drawing respec-
tively.
The entire drawing section is closed by a steel front door with
innovative round design.
Low operational costs are guaranteed by limited-slip technology
and the clever design of the machine.
