Title:
RESISTANCE ANNEALING FURNACE FOR ANNEALING A METAL WIRE, STRAND, STRING, WIRE ROD OR STRAP
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2015/063749
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A resistance annealing furnace for annealing a metal wire, strand, string, wire rod or strap having at least two electric axes (5-7) provided with respective pulleys (8-10) to convey the metal wire (2) and a DC voltage generator (14) suppliable with an AC voltage (Uac) to generate an annealing voltage (Uann) applied between the two electric axes (5-7) so as to provoke the annealing due to Joule effect. The DC voltage generator (14) has active supplying means (19) supplied with the AC voltage (Uac) so as to generate an intermediate DC voltage (Udc), a pulse width modulator (20) to transform the intermediate voltage (Udc) into a first PWM voltage (Um1) with the same amplitude, a voltage transformer (21) to transform the first PWM voltage (Um1) into a second PWM voltage (Um2) with a smaller amplitude, and a voltage rectifier stage (22) to transform the second PWM voltage (Um2) into the annealing voltage (Uann).
