Wire Flattening Line
Precision Wire Flattening and Automatic Cut-to-Length Line
A compact, highly profitable line that combines the Wire Rod Flattening machine and the Cut-to-Length Unit to flatten raw wire rod to the required size and cut it to length with clean edges.
Step-by-Step Production Method
The Wire Flattening Line is a compact, highly efficient system that flattens wire rod to the required section and thickness and cuts it to the required lengths. Because it uses wire rod instead of ready-made flat strip, it saves up to 40% on raw material costs.
Key Engineering Parameters
- Flattening the wire to the required section in a single step with tool-steel rolls and a central clamping system
- Cut-to-length with a PLC-controlled pneumatic guillotine while the flattening machine keeps running, thanks to the loop pit
- Roll system designed for the customer's wire diameter and strip size
"A system that flattens wire rod up to Ø10.0 mm in a single step with tool-steel rolls and cuts it to length with a PLC-controlled pneumatic guillotine."

Engineering Features of the Precision Wire Rod Flattening and Cut-to-Length Line
The YILSA Wire Flattening and Cut-to-Length Line is a compact cold rolling and forming system that flattens wire rod up to Ø10.0 mm and cuts it to the required lengths.
With tool-steel rolls designed to the customer's required size, the line produces the special-section strip and flat wire needed by the automotive, white goods, construction and spring industries, without having to buy ready-made strip.
Rolling with Tool-Steel Rolls
Wire rod in coils up to Ø10.0 mm is fed from a horizontal passive uncoiler between rolls made of 1.2379 (D2) or 1.3343 (HS6-5-2C) steel and cold-rolled in a single step. The roll gap is set by the central clamping system; shifting the roll horizontally to change the flattening point and circulating cooling with 5% boron oil greatly extend tool life.
Loop Pit & Non-Stop Flattening
The loop pit between the rolling unit and the cut-to-length unit lets the flattened strip accumulate. While the feeder cuts with a stop-and-go action, the wire flattening machine keeps running at up to 45 m/min, so no production is lost.
PLC-Controlled Cutting & Run-Out Table
The flattened strip is fed by a PLC-controlled feeder into the pneumatic guillotine shear and cut to the length entered on the screen. Cut parts are collected neatly on the run-out table.
