The goal of making more wire per die is
easily reached with a Die Quip die finishing
machine. As a global manufacturer,
the company has established a line of
machines to grind, polish and size dies
in a quick, efficient, accurate process,
eliminating operator error and guesswork.
Better dies pull more wire and cause
fewer production problems, so Die Quip
has designed stand-alone machines for
finishingdies in all sizes. For larger production
runs it builds work cells to keep maximum
efficiency and eliminate downtime from
size changeovers.
Its approach to a modern die shop brings
benefits to the whole production process
