Along with die finishing equipment Die Quip carries a complete line of die measuring products which includes plug gauges, internal micrometers, visual inspection and die profiling systems.

Die Quip 9 D06-01

Die Quip produces the highest quality die finishing equipment, tooling, training and die design for the wire bar, and tube drawing industry. Dies produced to the correctly designed geometry will last longer, run at higher speeds and produce better quality wire, bar or tube. The line includes the largest size range of equipment that can hold from 1" to 12" (25-305mm) outside diameters with auto- matic, semi-automatic and manual machines to fit the polishing or re-cutting needs of every mill. The latest machine is the Die Flex XA which is an automated angle polishing and sizing machine that cycles dies from a pre-loaded magazine into the working chuck. After polishing or sizing, the robotic arm places the worked dies back into the magazine for additional processing or into a collection bin. The unique removable magazine allows for multiple magazines to be loaded or to set up a new die size while the machine is running. The magazines can be flipped up or down

to size the bearing from either direction to produce the desired bearing geometry. A fully loaded machine will run unattended for 1 to 1½ hours, dramatically reducing overhead while boosting throughput. The dies are gripped in a 3-jaw air chuck to insure die concentricity, which reduces out of round wire. Like all Die Quip machines, the Die Flex XA is built on a sturdy steel base with industry standard parts for heavy-duty work and a long production life. The DS/2 Die Saver is the perfect multi- purpose machine for reworking wire dies because of its easy-to-use two mode grinding and polishing systems.
