RESISTANCE ANNEALING FURNACE TO ANNEAL AT LEAST ONE METAL OR METAL ALLOY WIRE, STRAND, STRING, WIRE ROD OR STRIP

摘要

A resistance annealing furnace (1000) to anneal at least one metal wire (2). The annealing furnace (1000) comprises an electric axis (5) provided with at least one brush- holding assembly (100; 100*), which comprises a respective actuator (72) having a first longitudinal symmetry axis (Y) and is designed to raise/lower a support pin (76) of at least one electric brush (89) from a raised position (I) to a lowered position (II), and vice versa. The support pin (76) projects from a slide (63) activated by the actuator (72, 72a) and has a second longitudinal symmetry axis (X2) perpendicular to the first longitudinal symmetry axis (Y).
