Die Quip produces the highest quality die
finishing equipment, tooling, training and
die design for the wire bar, and tube drawing
industry.
Dies produced to the correctly designed
geometry will last longer, run at higher speeds
and produce better quality wire, bar or tube.
The line includes the largest size range
of equipment that can hold from 1" to 12"
(25-305mm) outside diameters with auto-
matic, semi-automatic and manual machines
to fit the polishing or re-cutting needs of
every mill.
The latest machine is the Die Flex XA which
is an automated angle polishing and sizing
machine that cycles dies from a pre-loaded
magazine into the working chuck.
After polishing or sizing, the robotic arm
places the worked dies back into the
magazine for additional processing or into a
collection bin.
The unique removable magazine allows for
multiple magazines to be loaded or to set up
a new die size while the machine is running.
The magazines can be flipped up or down
to size the bearing from either direction
to produce the desired bearing geometry.
A fully loaded machine will run unattended
for 1 to 1½ hours, dramatically reducing
overhead while boosting throughput.
The dies are gripped in a 3-jaw air chuck to
insure die concentricity, which reduces out
of round wire. Like all Die Quip machines, the
Die Flex XA is built on a sturdy steel base with
industry standard parts for heavy-duty work
and a long production life.
The DS/2 Die Saver is the perfect multi-
purpose machine for reworking wire dies
because of its easy-to-use two mode grinding
and polishing systems.
Along with die finishing equipment Die Quip
carries a complete line of die measuring
products which includes plug gauges,
internal micrometers, visual inspection and
die profiling systems.
