Drawing machine and drawing method

A drawing machine comprising:

• a first drawing unit that includes:
• a first drawing die that reduces at least an outer diameter of a metal tube passing therethrough, thereby drawing the metal tube;
• a first upstream capstan that is provided before the first drawing die so as to deliver the metal tube to the first drawing die;
• and a first downstream capstan that is provided after the first drawing die so as to draw the metal tube from the first drawing die;
• a second drawing unit that includes:
• a second drawing die that reduces at least the outer diameter of the metal tube delivered from the first drawing unit, thereby drawing the metal tube;
• a second upstream capstan that is provided before the second drawing die so as to deliver the metal tube delivered from the first drawing unit to the second drawing die;
• and a second downstream capstan that is provided after the second drawing die so as to draw the metal tube from the second drawing die;
• and
• a tension applying section that applies a predetermined tension to the metal tube between the first drawing unit and the second drawing unit.
