In-house die reworking Die Quip believes that making wire dies in-house is themost cost-effective, flexible and quality-driven option for a wire mill. The company helps mills to achieve this goal by building die finishing machines strong enough for reworking used dies with speed and accuracy.

Using a meeting point inventory system brings modern manu- facturing techniques to the die shop, benefiting the whole production process by implementing a work flowsystemthat sets procedures and incorporates training to maximise machine and operator capabilities. Die Quip Corp www.diequip.com

Because the success of a die shop’s quality directly affects the wire mill’s productivity, Die Quip builds its machines on rigid steel platforms to easily cut dies to meeting points, which controls bearing lengths. The angle setting gauges enable consistent production of accurate die angles, claimed to be better than 90 per cent of industry standards. Combining this with Die Quip’s meeting point inventory system, die shops can improve productivity and flexibility, and control the die geometry without measuring systems.

Getting the best out of existing line equipment

More energy efficient than electrical welders, our rod welding machines rely on advanced hydraulic and pneumatic systems to produce reliable welds stronger than the parent material. So you save on operating costs, improve productivity and reduce waste, too. Find out more at www.pwmltd.co.uk

The current challenging times can help companies to restructure and keep focused on doing the best with what is at their disposal, according to Rosendahl Nextrom, searching for ways to improve existing production processes. The Rosendahl Nextrom Rio line control system has been partnered with the company’s production equipment for numerous decades, and they have evolved together. The system not only operates production equipment, but also automatically learns the production processes and offers improvements. The Rio smart line control system can help collect, analyse and optimise production data. This information can then be used to increase automation, production efficiency and overall performance, and help to get the best out of existing production equipment, for example by automatically optimising a production recipe to keep the scrap rate low, or assuring product quality by means of data traceability.
