Constant Slip

One of two types of wire slip (the difference between the circumferential speed of the drawing blocks and the surface speed of the wire) designed into wiredrawing machines. The constant slip means that the amount of slip will be the same for each step. Normally, the slip is determined for the next to the last capstan and this value is kept uniform with all other capstans.
