The Art of Crafting Fine Wires
The Crazy Wire Company manufactures ultra-fine wires combining precision, expertise, and cutting-edge technology. A variety of materials can be used, from highly conductive copper to robust stainless steel, and even specialized alloys for specific applications. Depending on the application, we offer wires as fine as 0.03mm, 0.04mm and higher.
In order to craft these wires, the material is drawn through successively smaller dies.
To maintain consistency and integrity, this process requires precise control. As wires become thinner, precision machinery and skilled technicians are required to handle the challenge.
In this field, technological advancements have played a pivotal role. Material science innovations have led to the development of metals and alloys that can withstand the stresses of being drawn into fine wires without losing their essential properties. Modern drawing techniques and equipment have also improved significantly, allowing for finer wires to be produced with greater precision.
