The present invention also relates to a system (100) for wire drawing, having an inclined wire outlet having such a force measuring device, the use of the force measuring device, and a method for measuring drawing forces on a drawing wire in three dimensions.

A drawing die system that has least two probes to measure various characteristics of components of the die box or the wire being drawn through the die box. The system includes a smart die that in which the multiple probes send information to a data processing unit. The data processing unit takes the information from the various probes and controls the various parameters of the wire drawing process. One smart die has a probe that collects information directly from a drawing die holder. The smart die also includes a force sensor and is configured to allow a die box to be displaced along an axis that is parallel to the direction in which the wire is drawn. The data processing unit controls various wired drawing parameters such as wire drawing speed, coolant pressure and the rate at which the coolant is pumped through the system.
