Nano Diamond Coated Drawing Dies
Zero wear across the die life, from φ0.50 mm to φ120 mm, for stranding bunching compacting and drawing.
Product Overview
Nano Diamond Coated Drawing Dies
Nano dies are diamond coated dies for cable stranding, bunching and compacting, wire drawing and tube drawing. They are available from φ0.50 mm to φ120 mm. The coating shows effectively zero wear across the life of the die, which is what saves the raw material a worn die would waste as oversize wire.

Key Benefits
What This Model Gives You
At Least 10× Carbide Life
Nano dies extend die life at least 10 times longer than tungsten carbide wire dies on the same wire.
Over 30× on Aluminium
For wire and tube drawing from φ0.50 mm to φ40 mm, die life on aluminium wire is over 30 times tungsten carbide.
500 km of Compacting
For cable compacting and stranding from φ0.50 mm to φ120 mm, nano dies compact over 500 km of conductor where tungsten carbide manages 20 km to 30 km.
Zero Wear Saves Material
No wear across the die life means the wire size does not drift, so raw material is not paid for as oversize.
Application Scenarios
Where It Is Used
- Stranded cable for electrical transmission
- Cable compacting and stranding
- Welding wire drawing
- Low medium and high carbon steel wire
- Stainless steel wire and tube drawing
Industries
Problems It Solves
Why Buyers Specify It
- Carbide dies open up mid-run and the wire drifts oversize
- Die change frequency, not wire supply, is what ends a run
- Raw material saved by holding size is larger than the die cost
Compared With Other Models
Nano dies give a smoother surface, lower friction and better price performance than PCD and tungsten carbide dies. Many cable manufacturers have found that replacing tungsten carbide dies with nano dies results in significant raw material savings.

Use Guide
How It Is Set Up and Run
- Start with the size that runs most hours per week — that is where the life difference pays.
- Record die change frequency on the incumbent die before the trial.
- Run the nano die on the same wire and the same block.
- Compare metres produced per die, not price per die.
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.

Nano Diamond Coated Drawing Dies Questions
What size range is available
φ0.50 mm to φ120 mm. For wire and tube drawing the range is φ0.50 mm to φ40 mm; for cable compacting and stranding it runs to φ120 mm.
How much longer do they last than carbide
At least 10 times on low carbon steel and stainless steel wire, over 30 times on aluminium wire, and over 500 km against 20-30 km on cable compacting.
What are they used for
Stranded cable for electrical transmission, wire drawing including welding wire and low, medium and high carbon steel wire, stainless steel, and tube drawing.
Why does zero wear matter
Because a worn die produces oversize wire. Zero wear during the entire life of the die saves the raw material cost that drift represents.
