Nuova T – using laser technology

▲

l Strength-to-strength for Nuova T

The introduction of the polycrystalline diamond, which revolutionised the die making industry, has seen Nuova T’s success go from strength-to-strength. The company, based in Italy, also introduced the use of laser technology, adapted to specific production procedures, as well as ultrasonic drill applications developed in-house. After almost 100 years in the die industry, Nuova T continues optimising its products, ranging from the tiny 50 microns natural diamond die used in multi-wire drawing machines, to the larger polycrystalline dies also used in a wider range of applications.

Paramount Die, USA, first introduced the carbide wire drawing insert to the wire industry in 1988, and later introduced the ParaLoc pressure system, which used both exchangeable drawing die and pressure die inserts. With access to low cost, accurately finished drawing inserts often available within 24 hours, wire drawers are able to downsize or even eliminate their internal die recutting operations. Through the use of pressure die systems, wire drawers have been able to improve die lubrication, resulting in higher machine use and higher productivity. Paramount plans to improve its production lines, and more than 90% of the company’s production is manufactured on equipment with technology developed within the last five years.
