INVOLVED in the fields of tungsten
carbide tools since 1870 and machinery
for decades, French company Agir
Technologies takes advantage of its
broad skills to provide the best to
all customers. Agir is able to provide
solutions and competent advice to a
variety of requests.
The investments made in the company,
such as a wire cutting EDM with two-wire
spool of 0.03mm, a five-axle CNC
machine to cut the electrodes, and new
CAD/CAM software, allow Agir to widen
its range of high precision and quality
tools.
The company specialises in the
production of tungsten carbide tools
for wire and cable manufacturing and
other wire transformation, including wire
drawing dies (round, shaped, pressure),
drawing dies and plugs, cable extrusion
tools, straightening tools, wire-guides,
and tools for welding rods and plated
wires. Agir is able, thanks to its software,
to calculate any drawing station for
round wire just like for any shaped wire.
The company exports its tungsten carbide
tools, machines and know-how on five
continents and to more than 60 countries.
First for its own needs in tungsten
carbide dies and then for its partners,
Agir has made a point of developing
the machinery sector by creating and
building a wide range of machines.
From a unique shaving head to the
various polishing lathes, not forgetting
the numerous grinding machines, the
company is shaped to bring an answer to
the most demanding of requirements.
Horizontal or vertical, for large or small
diameters, half or fully automatic, with a
whole variety of options (spindle, chuck,
motorisation), substantial possibilities
exist to help improve efficiency and
master the manufacturing processes.
