Tungsten carbide drawing die nibs graded by hole size

Putting a Die Programme Behind the Machines

Machines are bought once. Dies are bought every month, and they decide what the machines actually produce.

The Workflow

Five Steps From Problem to Running Line

  1. AuditList the wire sizes actually run, not the ones the machines are rated for.
  2. MatchWelding dies are matched by machine model and cavity count; drawing dies by wear rate against the wire material.
  3. SpecifyRound or profile, single or double cavity, standard or high-precision. Dies are cut from 0.10 mm to 25.0 mm to your drawing.
  4. TrialRun one size before committing the programme, then compare joint failures and die change frequency against the incumbent.
  5. StockOrder the recurring sizes as a running consumable so the line is never waiting on a cavity.

Die and Tooling Programme 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.

Send the wire sizes and the machines already on the floor. The reply names the models, the dies and what changes first.
