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
