New machines from
Agir Technologies
The new range of Mouton machines that were introduced at wire
2008 Düsseldorf are now designed, built and sold by the company
Agir Technologies.
There are two new machines
for the automatic working of
tungsten carbide dies: the
TCLD-C-CNC, to work and
automatically repair the
working cone of the dies, and
the TCLD-B-CNC which auto-
matically works the cylindrical
bearing of the dies. They are
both equipped with an auto-
matic die feeder and, in the
first part of 2008, they will be
linked by a PLC that will allow
the automatic working of the
cone and bearing length.
The concept of this design is
important because, for the first
time, the operator is able to
simply adapt his working method according to the time and the
quantity of dies to be repaired or manufactured.
Agir Technologies also introduced the new SH, a small machine
dedicated to the lapping of diameters from 0.20 to 2mm on a length
of over 10mm. This machine manages its working cycles thanks to a
programmable PLC. It can be used to recondition tungsten carbide
dies. The company, thanks to Mouton products, is now one of the
European leaders in tungsten carbide tools for wire and cable
manufacturing and other wire transformations. The product range
includes wire drawing dies (round, shaped, pressure), drawing dies
and plugs, cable extrusion tools, straightening tools, wire-guides,
tools for welding rods and plated wires.
For more than a century, the Rivom workshop has specialised in the
design and manufacturing of tungsten carbide tools for metal
forming (heading dies and punches, extrusion tools, plate-cutting
and ironing tools and compacting tools. Agir Technologies has a
wide range of tools for metal forming, from the simplest wire
drawing dies to very complex dies and punches in addition to its
complete range of tungsten carbide die reconditioning machines.

Precision dies from Teknodiam
Teknodiam guarantees the clean, precise and constant profiles of
the working parts of the die (cone and cylinder) required for perfect
wire drawing. These attributes are secured by high precision
grinding to guarantee wire quality, long die life and high machine
performance. The company produces drawing dies, shaped dies,
wire extrusion nipples and component part dies in natural diamond
and mono or polycrystalline diamond.
Customers are provided with a reliable and prompt reconditioning
service for worn dies. The drawing angles and the length of the
cylindrical parts are ground to the exact measurements requested,
maintaining correct die geometry.
