Shaped dies are available in ovates, rectangles, squares, hexagons and custom shapes. Standard carbide blank sizes, coatings and casing options are available to mimic current drawing practices. A collaborative team can then evaluate the performance of the drawing die to deliver recommendations for progression and shape design improvements. are improving because each die design from Paramount is rooted in the needs and feedback of each individual customer, their production process, and the market segment they serve. The customer and Paramount Die’s technical sta then put the dies and production processes through improvement trials to determine the optimal solution. Paramount Die Company www.paradie.com With technical shape Wire production e ciencies Pentre Group Ltd, incorporating Hearl Heaton, has extended its product range by introducing an ABS high-performance scrapping reel for use with telecom, data communication and bre optic cable lines. The reel captures the start-up material during the initial changeover run, which can then be easily removed from the reel. Developed by Pentre’s design engineers in conjunction with European machine manufacturers, the fully functioning special process reels meet the high Pentre Group Ltd Stand: 09 E25

Companies across multiple product segments have collaborated with Paramount Die over the last two years to evaluate a large range of geometries, coatings and constructions in order to nd the optimal solution for shaving wire and for drawing shaped wire. solutions developed with Paramount Die are now claimed to outperform other shaving dies in head-to-head evaluations thanks to the combined e orts. Standard shaving dies are o ered as insert-based and cased solutions. Several standard sizes, geometries, coatings and casing options are available to provide immediate improvements and a basis for future experimentation. Customer-speci c shaving die solutions are delivering superior quality and purity of shaved wire rod to manufacturers drawing stainless steel wire, valve spring wire, cold heading wire, aluminium wire and brass wire.

Pentre’s new scrapping reels

The anges are moulded from Pentre’s own specially selected, high-grade virgin acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), which combines strength with lightness, without becoming brittle. The barrels are tapered for ease of product removal and manufactured in high-grade steel to maximise strength, with a toughened paint nish subsequently applied for protection. One ange is easily removable by a series of screws, with the main body being kept in place using high-tensile strength steel bolts and unique locknuts. The precision- manufactured parts and construction ensure that the reels are in balance for high-speed applications. Due to the company’s production versatility and design capabilities, it can o er an extensive range of non-standard traverse widths or barrel diameters. The barrels can also be manufactured from aluminium or stainless steel material, and supplied untreated, anodised, painted or powder coated, with a further option of galvanising on steel
