Development of the Wire Manufacturing System for Oriental Medicine Needle
In this study, development of the manufacturing system for the oriental medicine needle was carried through the wire drawing from the wire supply, straightness, heat treatment and surface treatment processes, and finally wire cutting or winding by the online process. As a result, a prototype manufacturing system for the oriental medicine needle wire has been developed. It has been shown that all development targets, such as, straightness, precision, surface roughness, tensile strength, discoloration, noise, diameter range and maximum production speed have been satisfied through the performance test.
