Specific design and manufacturing process for fine steel cables and micro steel cables
Although the manufacturing processes for fine steel cables and micro steel cables are similar, there are still variations in design and production depending on the applications and technical specifications required.
- Fine steel cables:
Fine steel cables are primarily intended for mechanical applications that require high strength and strong flexibility.
The design of a fine steel cable involves several stages:
- Selection of suitable materials, namely the steel wires,
- Wire drawing, to achieve the expected mechanical properties,
- Stranding, which involves winding multiple steel wires together to create strands that are then twisted together to form the final steel cable,
- Possible heat treatment,
- Coating or protection in the form of a sheath.
- Micro steel cables:
Micro steel cables have even smaller diameters than fine steel cables and are often used in micromechanical applications and critical medical devices.
The design of a micro steel cable involves several stages:
- Selection of suitable materials, often special steels (micro stainless steel, micro Nitinol cables) for high strength and compatibility with biological tissues,
- Ultra-fine wire drawing, with additional quality controls,
- High-precision stranding,
- High-precision assembly,
- Quality control to ensure minimal tolerances.
Whether designing a fine steel cable or a micro steel cable, our expertise enables us to determine the appropriate materials and manufacturing processes, ensuring the desired mechanical properties in terms of strength, flexibility, and durability.
For specific applications in high technology or the medical field, the fine steel cables or micro steel cables manufactured by Codica meet the strictest safety and hygiene standards.
