Pointing Welding and Die Supply for Wire Drawing Mills
Point the wire, weld the break, draw through a die that holds its size. Three problems, one supplier.
Industry Pain Points
What Goes Wrong on These Lines
- Triangular points break in the die on the first pull
- A break means threading the whole line again
- Carbide dies open up and the wire drifts out of tolerance
- Die changes are the thing that ends a run, not the wire
From the Data
What the Published Figures Say
Nano dies are quoted at over 30 times tungsten carbide life on aluminium wire and at least 10 times on low carbon and stainless steel wire.

How the Equipment Is Used Together
Solution
Continuous Drawing Without Breaks
A break is unavoidable. What is avoidable is threading the whole line again.
See the workflowSolution
Copper to Aluminium Joining
Dissimilar non-ferrous metals joined in the solid phase, at the same electrical characteristics as the parent wire.
See the workflowSolution
Die and Tooling Programme
Machines are bought once. Dies are bought every month, and they decide what the machines actually produce.

Wire Drawing Mills Questions
Which SGT products suit wire drawing mills
The categories listed on this page: Wire Pointing Machines, Cold Welding Machines, Diamond Drawing Dies, Electrical Butt Welders. Each one links to the full product list with the published capacities.
How is a machine matched to our line
By the wire. Give the material, the smallest and largest diameter run, whether the section is round or rectangular, and the electrical supply. The machine model, the die set and the voltage build follow from those four answers.
Do you supply the consumables as well as the machines
Yes. Welding dies from 0.10 mm to 25.0 mm, drawing dies in tungsten carbide, PCD and nano diamond coating, extrusion dies and tips, and quartz glass welding crucibles are all made in house.
What lead time and packing should we expect
Packing is stated per model — a strong wooden or plywood case for the machines, carry cases for the portable welders. Lead time is quoted per order. TBC
