[0002] In the existing electroplating wire-taking process, when adjusting the tension air pressure on the working surface and the non-working surface, generally a main air pipeline is used for air supply, and a total manual pressure regulating valve is set on the main air pipeline to adjust the maximum air pressure of the air supply. A manual pressure regulating valve is set at each workstation on the working surface and the non-working surface. When adjusting the pressure, the respective manual pressure regulating valves are adjusted according to the actual tension of the steel wire at each workstation.
