Drawing Tools

We are manufacturer of various drawing capstans, rollers and cones for all single and multiwire drawing application. For our combined steel-ceramic design in zirconium oxide we exclusively use high grade ceramic material. The ceramic materials distinguish themselves by the extreme high wear resistant, high density, ultra small grain structure, and super polished and pore free surface. Depending on the application we can equip the drawing capstans and cones in various materials, material combination, and coatings:

• Steel with ceramic or tungsten carbide coating

• Steel hardened

• Combined steel-ceramic

• Solid Ceramic

Drawing Capstans, Pull out Capstans, Coiling Capstans

For applications in Rod break down lines we deliver various capstans in size and geometerical design. We manufacture capstanes in various:

• Materials: Cast/Steel coated, Steel hardened steel, ceramics

• Sizes: Diameter up to approvimately 1.200mm

• Coatings: Hard metal, various ceramic coatings

Innovative products at VT Kaempfer are a result of a permanent dialogue and close cooperation with our customers. With the fi rst bi-conical drawing capstans for Rod break down lines and the further development for series production VT-Kämpfer proved its know-how and innovation skills in the wire and cable industry, since more than 40 years.

Guide Pulleys

We offer a specifi c developed wire guide pulley assortment in standardized sizes from 25 mm to 1,200 mm OD. Our standard guide pulleys assortment includes kaskading pulleys for secure wire guiding and pulleys with cylindrical ground for multi wire applications.

We manufacture guide pulleys in different geometrical shapes and of different materials:

• Aluminum with high wear resistant coatings

• Steel with high wear resistant coating

• Harden steel

• Special designs in combined steel/ceramic or solid ceramic made of alumina, zirconium, or silica oxide ceramic

Depending on the application we manufacture well proven and high wear resistant coatings electrically conductive or non-conductive.

Annealer contact tubes and wire guide rollers

We manufacture numerous high precision contact tubes and wire guide rollers for resistance annealers in OEM quality. Wire guide rollers are mostly made out of aluminum, electrically non-conductive

coated with ceramic. Contact tubes are made out of precision cut steel cylinders with a high thickness nickel coating.

• Wear layer thickness: up to 1mm

• Diameter: up to 500mm

• Length: up to 600 mm

In addition to new parts we offer for our refurbishing service with grinding and re-coating. Special design with different diameters within the same tube are made according to customer‘s specifi cations.
