The upmost attention is paid to the production of the metal wires as it goes without saying that a good cable is obtained primarily from a good wire.

The operation of making wires is a delicate one it is this stage that gives the wire its mechanical characteristics ( traction resistance, bending, torsion and stretching) that determine the successive quality of the rope.

In every stage of production the wire is subjected to a series of tests and inspections that control its quality and efficiency.

These tests normally consist of  a control of the nominal diameter, traction resistence, and a determination of  wire torsion and bending behaviour.

The galvanized wires undergo a further control on the adherence, weight and the uniformity of the galvanization.

From the wires, trough the process of strandinging  the strands are obtained with which, by means of closing, we obtain the ropes.

Before closing, the strands  undergo a preformation which gives them a spiral form which they will finally have as a rope.

This preformation has the following advantages:

- it eliminates the tensions that occur during the making of the ropes, it allows an easy manipulation, and decreases the chance of any possible deformations and allows an easy assembly.

- the cables can be cut without the need of preventive tying.

- a major guarantee against the wires coming  out of their place, avoiding the  cutting of the hands of who inspects the ropes and preserves pulleys and cylinders from scratches and abrasions.
