83 Wire & Cable ASIA – September/October 2012
Die Quip’s belief in quality machinery,
training, tooling and measuring are
the key components to successful
die making shop. Just relying on
automatic machines to run “fast” is
not enough.
The machines are built to last under
harsh conditions taking heavy cuts
needed to rework used dies into high
quality tools using the meeting point
method.
The new generation of machines have
blended technology with tradition –
rigid steel structures, fixed spindles,
spray mist systems, angle gauge
blocks have all been upgraded with
simplified operator controls, advanced
PLC controls and easy to set pressure
system for consistent polishing.
All of these features eliminate
guesswork and operator error while
running faster than ever before and
work different cycles so all features of
the die can be run on one machine.
Die Quip offers many choices in
machinery such as manual feed, semi-
automatic or fully automatic cycles.
The Die Savers are versatile machines
that can grind or polish the angle or
cylinder of the die.
The Die Flex machines are accurate,
multi-tasking machines that can
polish the angle or calibrate the
bearing from a meeting point or
existing diameter.
All the machines can stand alone or
work together to form work cells and
provide more efficient and flexible
production solutions.
At Die Quip you get more than just
a machine.
There are a variety of training
programmes and on-site consultations
that teach operators how to use the
company’s equipment, which tooling
to use and the different methods of
making dies.
Die Quip also presents die geometry
seminars to teach die design to
eliminate drawing problems and
improve production.
