Drawing tools for wire drawing machines
Precision tools for stable drawing processes and high-quality wire.
Drawing tools are among the key components of any wire drawing machine. They determine the wire diameter, affect the achievable surface quality, and have a direct impact on process stability and tool life. NABER & WISSMANN develops and manufactures drawing tools for wet wire drawing machines. In these systems, the wire is lubricated with emulsion or oil throughout the entire drawing process. This process enables particularly fine wire diameters and places high demands on the geometry, surface quality, and wear resistance of the tools.
Our drawing tools are designed to ensure consistent processes, smooth wire surfaces and long service life.
Precision tools for a variety of applications.
NABER & WISSMANN wire drawing tools are designed for use on all standard wire drawing machines and meet a variety of requirements.
The use of special materials and abrasion-resistant surface coatings to ensure long service lives. At the same time, the tools support cost-effective production and contribute to high productivity in the drawing process.

Drawing rings for rough drawing
Drawing rings are generally used to prepare wire rod or larger-diameter wire for subsequent drawing stages.
They ensure a defined reduction in diameter and stable process conditions in the initial drawing stages.
Typical applications:
- Preparation of wire for medium- and fine-drawing processes
- Processing of non-ferrous metals and steel
- Use in wire rod mills
Drawing cones for medium and fine drawing
Drawing cones are used in machines that draw individual wires to smaller diameters. They are primarily used in medium- and fine-drawing processes.
The quality of the drawing tools is critical to the surface quality of the wire and to the reproducibility of the drawing process.
Typical applications:
- Copper wire
- Aluminum wire
- Nickel alloys
- Stainless steel with small diameters
- Special-purpose technical alloys
Drawing capstans for multi-wire drawing machines
Drawing capstans are primarily used in multi-wire drawing machines, where several wires are drawn simultaneously. These machine designs are used to achieve high production speeds and large wire volumes in a cost-effective manner.
Typical applications:
- Copper wires for electrical and communication cables
- Aluminum wires for power lines and cable applications
- Fine wires for strands and cable bundles
- Wires for windings in motors, generators and transformers
- Fine wires for electronics and sensor applications
Standard tools available for immediate delivery
We pre-manufacture and stock many drawing tools for common wire drawing machines. This allows us to deliver selected standard dies particularly quickly. This simplifies maintenance work and ensures that production downtime is kept to a minimum.

Materials and Surfaces
The performance of a wire drawing tool is largely determined by the combination of material selection, geometry and surface quality. We develop drawing tools made from wear-resistant materials that ensure a long service life even under high loads.
High-gloss polished drawing surfaces reduce friction between the wire and the tool and contribute to a stable drawing process. Precisely designed geometries ensure reproducible wire diameters and uniform material forming over long production cycles
Adaptation to specific applications.
Wire drawing tools are available in various designs depending on the application. Factors such as material, coating, and application play a decisive role here. Depending on the profile, the tools are suitable, for example, for:
- steel wires steel cord
- Copper and Nonferrous Metals
- Applications for fine wire
- Applications with high demands on resistance to wear and tear
This differentiation allows the tools to be specifically tailored to the respective process conditions. You can easily download our brochure as a PDF:
Reprocessing and economic viability.
Drawing tools can be reconditioned or repaired multiple times, depending on their degree of wear. To do this, the wire drawing tools are reground and polished to a high gloss. Even drawing cones or drawing capstans with ceramic coatings can be reconditioned multiple times. In addition, we can also remove and reapply coatings to these tools for you.
Since we naturally prioritize the highest level of dimensional accuracy and quality when repairing wire drawing tools, we offer you a cost-effective way to restore your drawing cones, drawing capstans, drawing rings and drawing discs so they are ready for your demanding applications.
If you have any questions about the reconditioning of your drawing tools, please contact us!
