What Is Cable Die
Compared with drawing dies, cable dies are not used to draw directly a wire to be small diameters. They are used to combine several wire or small cables to be a cable with big diameter. So cable dies’ diameters are always big and their entrance is wide.
Cable Dies for Different Use
In cable manufacturing , there are mainly following 3 kinds of cable dies.
Extrusion DiesExtrusion dies are used to extrude insulating materials to form insulated coating on wires.
Stranding/ Bunching/ Compacting DiesThis kind of dies are used to strand several small cables to be a bigger one .
Wire GuidesWire guides’ application is to guide the thin wires to become a thick wire.
Cable Dies in Different Materials
Following mail 3 raw materials can also be used to make cable dies .
Tungsten Carbide Cable DiesCable dies are always big diameters. Tungsten carbide is a good choice for them.
PCD Cable DiesPCD cables dies have long life time and perform well in cable surface finish.
Nano Cable DiesPrice and performance of nano cable dies are both in the middle of above 2 kinds of dies.
Mirror Polishing
As a tool to combine several wires and cables, polishing of cable dies are very important to avoid big friction between wires and dies. We are able to polish the cable dies to be mirror degree to ensure a very small friction coefficient for your cable making.
Reasonable Inner Geometry
Entrance of cable dies should be big for wire entering. And reduction part is the crucial working part, so the area between entrance and reduction parts must be well blended. Otherwise, the wires may be scratched by stages. HG will consider all of them for you.
Competitive Cost
Generally speaking, cost of cable dies with big sizes is always not cheaper, but we will recommend you the suitable raw materials and reasonable dies matching to help on cost reducing. Choosing HG cable dies means choose a high cost performance.
There are several kinds of cable dies ranging from 5.0mm to 50.0mm.
For diameters bigger than 5.0mm , customers usually choose tungsten carbide .
The wire guides are usually made according to customers’ drawings and requirements.
If there is a drawing, we can also check it for you.
Yes. Considering the big diameter, majority customers like nano diamond or tungsten carbide stranding dies to save production cost.
If the quantity is considerable, we’ll try to apply a discount from our company.
It’s usually 6 months after receiving the dies.
