In this way, the RM-NC can replace a number of mechanical machines and allow users to boost output while simultaneously reacting faster to individual customer requirements. Compared to the RM series of mechanical stamping and forming machines, output can be increased more than 300 per cent, batches can be processed in half the time and retooling times cut by up to a factor of nine. Otto Bihler Maschinenfabrik GmbH & Co KG – Germany Website : www.bihler.de Paramount Die is more than just a die company, with its sales engineers averaging over 20 years of experience in the wire industry. In addition to helping its customers with their die needs, Paramount o ers expertise in all areas of the wire drawing process. Several wire industry trends have shaped the company’s development over the past ve years. Perhaps the most dramatic has been the ever-growing trend for wire drawers to outsource their nished die requirements. This shift has caused wire drawers to become somewhat more dependent on die suppliers, placing great pressure on the company to increase capacity for die nishing, to reduce nished die costs, and to improve lead times. Realising these trends and consistently aiming to meet customers’ needs, Paramount has been able to reduce die costs in two ways. The rst is by standardising on cost-e ective carbide inserts. The second is by improving quality and increasing capacity through automation. Many of the company’s highly automated machines run on lights-out operation, meaning that they will continue to produce as long as there is raw material being fed into the system. The automated production equipment combines high volume speed and e ciency with accuracy and repeatability. Because of its investment in immediately available inventory, average lead times have been reduced from three weeks to less than a few days. As the company continues to grow globally as a high volume producer of carbide drawing dies, it becomes very important for it to continually invest in new manufacturing technology.
