Cost-Effective Die Production

This is the rounded section on the front of the nib. This radius is there to prevent the entering rod from striking a sharp edge and being scratched.The process we use provides less production halts for die change-overs due to superior finishes . This contributes to prolonged die life, increased drawing speeds, and less time spent (which can be caused due to out-of-specification wire in quality verification). This attention to detail helps increase our customers’ shaped wire production volume, as well as improve finish and wire quality. It also assists in less production halts for die change-over due to the prolonged die life and increased drawing speeds. We have the ability to manufacture dies with as small as a .001″ corner radii with shaped inside diameters starting at .005″.

Unlike our competitors, during our inspection process, we have the ability to optically measure both the shape and the depth of the inner die profile. Our ability to manufacture Shaped Wire Drawing Dies with .001″ corner radii with shaped inside diameters starting at .005″ also sets us apart from the competition.

The overall efficiency and quality of our shaped drawing die manufacturing process means Sancliff can deliver the largest variety and quantity of shaped drawing dies with the industries tightest tolerances and the fastest turnaround times. More than 60 years of experience go into every die we make to ensure that our customers can draw with confidence. Our products and service speak for themselves! We welcome the opportunity to share our expertise in shaped die design and manufacturing to help you solve your most demanding die engineering problems.

For products where additional draws are needed to reach the desired finish diameter an average area of reduction per die of roughly 20% (area not diameter) is typical. Steel wire work hardens during plastic deformation and ductility is reduced while tensile strength increases. The total area of possible reduction without intermediate annealing depends solely upon the composition of the steel. It is possible through multiple subsequent or sequential draw passes through ever smaller dies to reduce cross sectional areas of the wire by up to 90%. These types of extreme areas of reduction will require intermediate annealing to restore the materials ductility.

Precision, high quality and fast turnaround are the hallmarks of Sancliff Inc. We support everything that we manufacture with a staff of knowledgeable personnel. Each team member of The Sancliff Inc. staff is always ready to assist you in planning your die needs or with any technical issues.
