Complex shape forming Robust and reliable, Pave’s space- saving Cyber-Form Selekta 2000 wire forming centre offers a full 360° three- dimensional wire bending capability for complex shapes at a competitive price.

Weilly Diamond Industrial has specialised in the production of shaped PCD dies for over 20 years. Using controlled die geometry and excellent polishing techniques the company now has a customer base across the US and Europe. In addition to its regular shaped dies, such as square, rectangle, hexagonal, triangle, oval and trapezoid, Weilly Diamond Industrial Co will manufacture irregular and custom-shaped PCD from cus- tomer drawings, to suit individual requirements. Thin rectangular PCD shaped dies are in growing demand for PV ribbon, which is an important component of solar cells. The thinnest PCD flat dies measure 0.1mm x 2mm and smallest square dies measure 0.1mm x 0.1mm. Weilly Diamond Industrial Co Ltd – Taiwan Fax : +886 3470 7162 Custom and standard PCD dies

The machine’s integrated multi-head wire forming facility provides a wide range of ‘in cycle’ wire bending and end finishing options, while the fully automatic CNC system allows a number of normally separate pro- cessing operations to be performed at the same time on the same machine. This cuts handling and production times considerably and substantially reduces the cost per product. Equipped with automatic user-friendly technology to minimise operator training, the Selekta also incorporates Pave’s patented ‘Trueline’ wire straightening system, which provides accuracy similar to hard tooling and provides twist-free finished form products. Other special features include a double end chamfering unit,
