All sizes and styles. . . OSG Tap and Die has a worldwide reputation for their quality cutting tools and dies.

Conoptica’s quality control system is perfectly suited for this task. Measurements are closely linked through a common model for both product and tool. This ensures that measurements of corresponding parameters are carried out with reference to exactly the same definitions and coordinate ranges, and simplifies the task of modifying the die so that the nominal product geometry can be achieved. The Conoptica quality control system makes tool making more cost effective, especially in the finishing stage where measurements play an important role. It also improves the communication between toolmaker and wire producer through objective comparison between tool and product. Tool making skills are accumulated while human measurement errors are reduced to a minimum. The full range of Conoptica production and quality control systems cover applications from fast, accurate and low cost measurement of round/ shaped die and/or wire diameter to high end 3D full profile measurement

of any geometrical object (drawing/ shaped/enamelling die/wire/rod/pin/ needle/tube) within system specifi- cations (0.010mm-400.00mm).
