HONTA's Multiwire Drawing Machine: Revolutionizing Wire Production with Individual Motor Technology

Kunshan, China — In the dynamic landscape of global wire and cable manufacturing, efficiency and precision are paramount. Following the industry-wide recognition highlighted in the recent feature "Top Chinese Wire & Cable Machinery Manufacturers — Technology Upgrades Driving Global Conductor Production Efficiency", one technology stands out for its transformative impact: the Individual Motors Multiwire Drawing Machine. As a leader in this innovation, HONTA is at the forefront, redefining productivity standards for wire and cable equipment manufacturers worldwide.

What is an Individual Motors Multiwire Drawing Machine?

Unlike traditional drawing machines with a single centralized drive, an Individual Motors Multiwire Drawing Machine equips each drawing capstan with its own dedicated motor. This architecture, pioneered by companies like HONTA in their HONTA wire drawing machine series, allows for independent speed and tension control for every wire being processed simultaneously. This is a core component of modern wire & cable machinery, enabling unparalleled flexibility and efficiency in producing multiple wire strands from a single copper rod breakdown machine or aluminium rod breakdown machine feed.

HONTA: A Synonym for Technological Excellence and Global Reach

Since its establishment in September 2006, HONTA has dedicated nearly two decades to the research and development of cable conductor drawing and stranding technology. Its commitment to innovation is evidenced by its global footprint, including the establishment of HONTA INC. in the United States in 2017. This strategic move solidifies its role as a premier wire and cable machine manufacturer, providing localized support and service to the Americas.

HONTA's core philosophy centers on delivering equipment that is high-speed, efficient, automated, and human-centric. Its product range is comprehensive, covering the entire conductor production workflow:

• Rod Breakdown Lines: Including the rod breakdown with annealer machine for copper and aluminium and the high-precision rod breakdown machine with individual motors.
• Multiwire Drawing Systems: Featuring models like the 8 wires multiwire drawing machine, 16 wires multiwire drawing drawing machine, 24 wires multiwire drawing machine, and the high-capacity 32 wires multiwire drawing machine.
• Auxiliary Equipment: Such as the wire take up machine, double spooler, basket coiler, and critical inline annealer machine for final wire treatment.

Certifications and Quality: The Foundation of Trust

HONTA operates under a stringent quality management system, holding internationally recognized certifications that assure clients of product reliability and corporate responsibility. These include:

• ISO 9001 Certification: Guaranteeing consistent quality in design, production, and service.
• ISO 14001 Certification: Demonstrating commitment to environmental management and sustainable practices.
• UDEM International Certification: Providing additional validation of product safety and performance standards.

These credentials are not just plaques on the wall; they are integral to every HONTA machine that leaves the factory, ensuring compliance with global market requirements.

Driving Industry Trends: Automation and Precision

The global wire and cable industry is rapidly moving towards fully automated, smart factories. HONTA's individual motors multiwire drawing machine is a cornerstone of this trend. By allowing independent control, it enables:

• Reduced Downtime: A fault in one motor does not stop the entire line.
• Enhanced Product Quality: Precise tension control minimizes breaks and ensures uniform wire diameter.
• Energy Efficiency: Motors operate only at required loads, reducing overall power consumption.
• Flexibility: Easy changeovers for different wire sizes and materials, covering a broad production range from 0.10mm to 1.37mm.

This technology seamlessly integrates with HONTA's other systems, such as the inline annealer machine, to create a continuous, high-throughput production line from rod to finished wire.
