• State-of-the-Art Equipment for Precision Manufacturing:
At Wuxi Gete, our production excellence is built on a foundation of cutting-edge equipment. In 2022, we upgraded our core manufacturing line with a newly installed 500T servo-controlled hydraulic drawing machine, which enables real-time monitoring of pressure during the cold-drawing process—reducing material defects by over 40% compared to older models. This machine, capable of processing tubes with outer diameters from Φ30mm to Φ500mm and wall thicknesses ranging from 1mm to 40mm, was instrumental in fulfilling a major order from a leading Chinese excavator manufacturer. The client required high-strength, high-precision hydraulic cylinders for their new generation of heavy-duty machinery. Our 500T machine ensured consistent dimensional accuracy within ±0.05mm and achieved inner wall roughness below Ra0.8μm—critical for minimizing fluid resistance and preventing premature wear. Additionally, our multi-roll straightening system effectively eliminated internal stresses post-drawing, reducing subsequent deformation issues by 65%. These technological advantages allowed us to deliver 12,000 precision tubes in under 18 days, meeting the client’s tight production schedule. The success of this project not only solidified our reputation as a reliable partner but also led to a long-term supply agreement, demonstrating how advanced equipment directly translates into operational efficiency and customer trust.
• Expertise in Cold-Drawing Technology Ensuring High Standards:
Our technical team’s deep expertise in metal plastic deformation principles has been pivotal in solving complex engineering challenges. A standout example occurred in 2023 when a domestic electric vehicle (EV) battery housing supplier approached us with a demanding requirement: produce lightweight, thin-walled stainless steel tubes (wall thickness 0.8–3mm) for thermal management systems, with an inner diameter tolerance of ±0.03mm and surface finish below Ra0.4μm. Traditional cold-drawing methods risked cracking or uneven wall thickness due to the extreme thinness and material sensitivity. Leveraging our 18 years of accumulated knowledge, our engineers implemented a multi-pass progressive cold-drawing process with optimized annealing cycles between passes. We used 316L stainless steel, carefully controlled drawing speed at 1.2 m/min, and applied precise lubrication techniques to prevent surface galling. The result? A batch of 8,500 custom tubes delivered with 99.7% yield rate, all passing strict inspection for dimensional stability, surface integrity, and mechanical strength. The client reported a 15% improvement in heat dissipation efficiency in their battery modules, directly contributing to enhanced EV range and safety. This case exemplifies how our decades-long mastery of cold-drawing science enables us to push the boundaries of what’s possible—transforming challenging specifications into high-performance solutions that drive innovation across industries.

• Precision Cold-Drawn Tubes for Industrial Use:
In 2021, a Suzhou-based textile machinery manufacturer faced recurring failures in their high-speed loom transmission shafts due to poor tube quality. They turned to Wuxi Gete after learning about our ISO 9001-certified processes and precision capabilities. We supplied 45# carbon steel precision cold-drawn tubes (Φ25mm × 3mm wall thickness), processed with quenching and tempering to achieve HB240 hardness and tensile strength exceeding 600 MPa. The tubes were manufactured with outer diameter tolerance of ±0.05mm and surface roughness of Ra1.2μm—far superior to previous suppliers. After installation, the client reported zero shaft breakage incidents over 18 months of continuous operation, a significant improvement from their prior failure rate of 3 per month. Furthermore, the smooth surface reduced frictional wear, extending maintenance intervals by up to 40%. This success led to a repeat order of 50,000 units annually. The case highlights how our precision tubes are not just components—they are performance enablers. By combining high-strength materials with exacting dimensional control, we help industrial clients enhance equipment reliability, reduce downtime, and lower lifecycle costs. Whether it's automotive chassis parts, oil cylinder blocks, or machine tool spindles, our tubes consistently deliver where precision matters most.
• Customized Special-Shaped Tubes Tailored to Your Needs:
One of our most innovative projects came in 2023 when a Shanghai-based robotics startup needed custom hexagonal tubes (opposite side distance: 30mm, wall thickness: 2mm) for use in robotic arm joints. Standard round tubes couldn’t meet their space constraints or torque transmission requirements. We developed a proprietary mold using tungsten carbide, designed via CAD 3D modeling to ensure angular accuracy within ±0.3°. Using our chain-type drawing machine and multi-roll straightening system, we produced 12,000 hex-shaped tubes with consistent cross-sectional geometry and straightness ≤0.4mm/m. The tubes were made from 40Cr alloy steel, heat-treated to HRC45–50, providing excellent torsional strength. Upon integration, the robot arms demonstrated a 22% increase in joint responsiveness and reduced vibration by 30%, significantly improving overall system performance. The client praised our ability to bridge design intent with manufacturability, calling us a true engineering partner. This project underscores our capability beyond standard products—delivering bespoke solutions that solve real-world design challenges. From gear tubes to motor casing sleeves, our special-shaped tubes empower next-generation machinery with unmatched functionality and efficiency.

• Flexible Customization Options for Unique Requirements:
In 2024, a German hydraulics company sought a rapid solution for a prototype hydraulic cylinder requiring a 304 stainless steel tube (Φ40mm × 5mm wall thickness) with inner wall passivation and a tolerance of ±0.02mm. Due to urgent R&D timelines, they needed delivery within 12 days. Wuxi Gete mobilized immediately: our R&D team designed a custom die within 24 hours, initiated mold development using CNC machining, and began production the same day. We leveraged our in-house stock of raw materials and ran a parallel process flow—cold-drawing, annealing, straightening, and final inspection—while simultaneously preparing for passivation treatment. Within 14 days, we shipped 300 tubes with full documentation, including material certificates, dimensional reports, and passivation verification. The client confirmed the tubes met all technical specs and were successfully integrated into their prototype, accelerating their product launch by six weeks. This case illustrates our agile response model: from concept to delivery in under three weeks. Our full-process customization—from mold creation and process adaptation to quick-turnaround production and follow-up services like cutting, chamfering, and tapping—ensures customers can focus on innovation while we handle precision manufacturing. Whether you're a startup with one-off needs or a large enterprise scaling production, Wuxi Gete delivers tailored support with the speed and reliability your business demands.
