Wire Pointing Machines
Conical points rather than triangular, on wire from φ3.55 mm down to φ0.66 mm and on 8.0 mm copper rod.

Keeping a Drawing Line Running Through Wire Breaks
A break is unavoidable. What is avoidable is threading the whole line again.
The Workflow
Five Steps From Problem to Running Line
- PointA conical point from an SGT170 or SGT450 pointing machine threads the die instead of breaking in it.
- WeldA portable or desk cold welder at the block makes the joint in seconds with no heat and no consumable but the die.
- ShearThe flash is sheared in the same die set, so the joint enters the next pass at wire diameter.
- DrawBecause the weld is solid phase and as strong as the parent wire, it pulls through the remaining passes.
- ReplaceDrawing dies in carbide, PCD or nano coating are matched to the wire so the size holds across the run.

FAQ
Continuous Drawing Without Breaks Questions
How long does this take to put in place
The machines and dies are standard products, so the schedule is set by die manufacture for your wire sizes and by the voltage build on motorised machines. Both are confirmed on quotation.
Do we have to change every machine at once
No. The usual route is one size, one block or one line first. Record the current die change frequency and joint failure rate, then compare on the same wire.
What do you need from us to quote this
The wire materials and diameters, the section shape, the machines already on the floor, and the electrical supply. Everything else follows from that.
Can dies be made for machines we already own
Yes. SGT welding dies are the industry standard type and are suitable for comparable cold pressure welders from other manufacturers.
