Executive summary Wire travels continuously from the drawing blocks into a dedicated coiling and strapping line. An automated coiler forms the drawn wire into a dimensionally uniform coil, a heavy-duty conveyor system transfers the coil to the strapping press, and the hydraulic press compacts the package to eliminate loose loops while the strapping head tensions and joins the bands. The dense, secured coil then discharges smoothly via the outfeed conveyor.

Winding and strapping in sequence
| Step | What happens |
|---|---|
| Drawing | Wire drawing blocks continuously feed drawn wire into the packaging zone |
| Coiling | The automated coiler winds incoming wire into a uniform coil with precise length feedback |
| Transfer | A rigid conveyor and dedicated servo transfer clamp advance the intact coil to the press station |
| Press strapping | The hydraulic press compresses the coil height while integrated heads apply tensioned strapping bands |
| Outfeed | Fully strapped, compact wire coils transfer smoothly downstream for warehouse staging or transport |
During line operation, high-precision meter counters feed cut-off positioning data directly to the winding head, while dedicated mechanical transfer clamps hold the package rigid between the coiler and strapping press [manufacturer rating].
Why compress before strapping
- Smaller coil. Compression lowers coil height for storage and transport.
- Tight straps. Straps lock in the compressed height.
- Stable stacking. Flat, firm coils stack safely.
- Less damage. Loose wire does not catch or tangle.
Strap count
Worked example (illustrative).
| Item | Value |
|---|---|
| Loose coil height (illustrative) | 1,000 mm |
| Compressed height (illustrative) | 800 mm |
| Height saved, 1,000 − 800 | 200 mm, 20% |
| Straps per coil (illustrative) | 4 |
| Coils per hour (illustrative) | 30 |
| Straps per hour, 4 × 30 | 120 |
What we set per coil
| Setting | Depends on |
|---|---|
| Press force | Wire size and coil weight |
| Straps | Number per coil |
| Strap | PET or steel |
| Conveyor | Coil size |
Operational parameters—including coil width, target wire length, compression threshold, and conveyor index speeds—are managed through an integrated PLC and HMI interface with available industrial IoT connectivity for line performance tracking [manufacturer rating].
Selection checklist
- Wire diameter.
- Coil OD, ID, height and weight.
- Compressed height wanted.
- Straps per coil.
- Coils per hour.
- PET or steel strap.
Safety
- Keep clear of the press while it closes.
- Stay out of the coiler area while it runs.
- Lock out before clearing a jam.
- For CE markets, the machine is designed to ISO 12100 and EN 415-10.
Engineering FAQ
Q: Why compress the coil? A: It lowers coil height and makes the coil firm for stacking.
Q: How much height is saved? A: It depends on wire size, coil density and press force; 200 mm, 20%, in the worked example.
Q: How many straps per coil? A: 4 in the worked example; set per coil.
Q: Does the line include coiling? A: Yes, the line starts at the coiler after the drawing blocks.
Q: Which strap does it use? A: PET or steel, set per coil.
Q: Which standards apply? A: For CE markets, ISO 12100 and EN 415-10.
