WIRE PULLER HAVING A SENSOR DEVICE FOR DETERMINING THE WIRE POSITION AND METHOD FOR OPERATING A WIRE PULLER

摘要

A wire pulling device for reducing the cross section of a wire is proposed, the wire pulling device having a drawing disk, the wire pulling device having a wire control device, the wire control device having a wire guide element which is elongated along one direction and having means for carrying out the wire, characterized in that the wire control device has a sensor device for contactless determination of a wire position along the direction of the wire guide element. Furthermore, a method for operating a wire pulling device is proposed, wherein a wire is guided from a drawing disk of the wire pulling device at a speed to a subsequent processing machine, the wire being guided through an elongate wire guide element which extends in one direction, the wire being substantially orthogonal to the Direction of the wire guide element is guided by the wire guide element, the speed being regulated on the basis of a wire position in the direction of the wire guide element when the wire passes through the wire guide element, characterized in that the wire position is determined without contact.
