Comparison of Wire Straightening and Cutting Machine

There are many different types of Wire Straightening and Cutting Machines in the market. What are the differences and how to choose the right type?  In this article, I’ll make a comparison between three common types of wire straighteners about their function and feature.

​How we Clasify Wire Straightening Cutting Machine

​The wire straightening machine combines straightening and cutting to get its job done. For common wire straighteners, the straightening method is always the same. But there are three ways to cut the wire. And it’s the cutting methods that make the machines different from each kind. There are three types of wire straightening and cutting machine according to the cutting design: Fixed-cut straightening machine,

1. Fixed-cut Steel Wire Straightening Cutting Machine

First, the straightening module straightens the wire to the length you choose. And the straightening module stops. The cutting module is at the right end of the machine. The cutter cut the wire at point A.

The fixed-cut straightener is not that fast, compared to the other two types I’ll introduce. If you read how it works, you’d notice that the straightening module always has to stop. It has to wait until the cutter finishes its work so that it can do the next job.
The speed of a fixed-cut wire straightening machine is 15-35m/min.

Fixed-cut is the most traditional automatic wire straightening machine. The mechanism is simple and the machine performance is easy to control. Because of these, a fixed-cut wire straightening machine only costs 22000-26000RMB. It’s 3280-3880USD.

2. Tracking-cut Steel Wire Straightening Cutting Machine

The straightening module straightens the wire, and the cutter follows the wire. At a certain point, the cutter cuts the wire. The cutter moves with the wire and cut the wire. So the straightening module doesn’t have to stop to wait for the cutter. The speed of the machine is faster than the fixed-cut type. The speed is 25-75m/min.

A tracking-cut wire straightening machine is more expensive than a fixed-cut type. It is because not only does the cutter needs to cut the wire, but also moves to a different position.

3. Flywheel-cut Steel Wire Straightening and Cutting Machine

The flywheel-cut straightening machine uses the flywheel to cut wire fast. While the straightening module keeps straightening the wire, the flywheel works nonstop. Flywheel rotates and make the cutter cut fast. So the speed of the flying shear straightener can reach 120m/min
