Extrusion Tips for Insulated Wire and Cable
Carbide and diamond insert tips from 0.050 mm to 12.50 mm and stainless tips from 0.50 mm to 25.0 mm.
Product Overview
Extrusion Tips for Insulated Wire and Cable
The extrusion tip carries and centres the conductor as it enters the crosshead. Get it wrong and no amount of die quality will make the wall concentric. SGT supplies tips with a tungsten carbide or diamond insert from 0.050 mm to 12.50 mm, and stainless steel tips from 0.50 mm to 25.0 mm.

Key Benefits
What This Model Gives You
0.050 mm to 12.50 mm Insert Tips
Carbide or diamond insert across the fine and medium range where wear decides the tool life.
0.50 mm to 25.0 mm Stainless
Stainless steel tips cover the larger sizes economically.
Proper Wire Centering
The tip is what puts the conductor in the middle of the die, and it is engineered for that specifically.
Harsh Conditions
Tungsten carbide tooling is specified for long service life under harsh conditions.
Application Scenarios
Where It Is Used
- Fine gauge insulation
- Automotive and appliance cable
- Building wire
- Compound-abrasive extrusion lines
Industries
Problems It Solves
Why Buyers Specify It
- A worn tip lets the conductor wander and the wall goes eccentric
- Stainless tips wear quickly on abrasive compound at speed
- A tip sized for a different conductor forces the wall thickness up
Compared With Other Models
Where the die sets the outside diameter, the tip sets where the conductor sits inside it. Carbide or diamond insert tips are the choice below 12.50 mm and wherever the compound is abrasive; stainless tips cover 0.50 mm to 25.0 mm where wear is not the limiting factor.
Use Guide
How It Is Set Up and Run
- Match the tip bore to the conductor, allowing for the draw-down being used.
- Fit the tip and its matched die as a set.
- Check concentricity at the start of the run and after any compound change.
- Replace when the bore has opened enough to let the conductor move.
Customisation and Supply
What Is Built to Order
Dies to Your Wire
Dies are manufactured for wire between 0.10 mm and 25.0 mm to suit round or profile wire and rod, to the customer's own specification, at -1% / +2% of the wire diameter.
Your Electrical Supply
On the motorised and hydraulic machines, operating voltage is built to the industrial supply of the destination country. State voltage, phase and frequency with the order.
Export Packing
Machines are packed in a strong wooden or plywood case as stated per model. Carry cases are supplied with the portable welders and the DA10.

Extrusion Tips for Insulated Wire and Cable Questions
What size tips are available
Tungsten carbide insert or diamond insert from 0.050 mm to 12.50 mm; stainless steel from 0.50 mm to 25.0 mm.
When should the tip be carbide rather than stainless
Where the compound or the line speed is abrasive enough that a stainless bore will open up inside the run.
Are tips and dies quoted together
Yes. They are engineered and supplied as a matched pair for the application.
Can tips be made to a special profile
Each set is engineered with the application in mind. Send the conductor construction and the required wall with the enquiry.
