| TAK Enterprises, USA, manufacturer of precision wire straighteners, custom-feed and cut-off systems, has recently introduced a wire cleaner/lubricator that is designed for fine wire applications in the diameter range of 0.006 to 0.050". The Lubricator incorporates an adjustable coating wheel that slightly imparts a lubricating film to the wire. By applying an even coat of lubricant most free particles are separated and fall to the bottom of the reservoir. Subsequent tools and machinery are protected from foreign particles while being lubricated for consistent manufacturing quality. The unit incorporates a covered reservoir that holds up to four ounces of fluid. The clear see through cover allows for quick viewing of the fluid level and utilises a quick release snap latch when refilling of the reservoir becomes necessary.
The cleaner/lubricator is designed for inline mounting prior to a wire straightener and measures 10� x 2� x 3�. The unit features ceramic guides, or other materials depending on the application, for the ingress and egress of any wire within the diameter range limits. It also includes two free spinning �V� cut guide wheels for ease of wire tracking within the lubricator housing that also apply the lubricant as the wire passes through. Finally, the design of the lubricant poses no limits on the selection of lubricant that can be used.
