production problems and good dies pull more wire.

contact with the die. By doing so, the die tools can be used successfully and largely with their initial bore diameter for a long time, prior to having to enlarge them to their next larger usable size. In today’s highly competitive wire drawing industry, and with the growing use of multi-wire drawing machines with up to 48 wires drawn on a single machine, a well-equipped and efficiently functioning modern die-workshop is an absolute must, if drawing efficiency and economy is to be maintained at the highest possible level. Unique concepts, such as Eder’s USP-Twin and HGM-21 equipment, have been developed to meet all these demands.

Production costs decrease with an efficient internal die shop, and Die Quip has the expertise, training, support and machinery to get you there. The company’s extensive training products include on-site machine training, die making instruction and die design programs for operators and plant management. Each machine is supplied with Die Quip’s exclusive Die Making Handbook that has reference charts, procedures, formulas and die production instructions.

Their best economy and efficiency is achieved if the dies are taken out of the machine for a fast re-polishing when an onset of wear is visible in the drawing cone, where the incoming wire establishes first

Eder-Austria offers a variety of easy to understand and operate state-of-the-art die-reconditioning machines, and its high degree of inherent automation can reduce the number of personnel and the levels of skills formerly required, while at the same time offering longer die life, higher tonnages of drawn wire, and lower operational cost. Correct refurbishment of dies regularly undertaken in time and with appropriate machines can prolong the service life of costly die tools and as such can contribute to the economicwelfare higher net product
