Carbide Draw Dies- Shape
Glen Carbide is the industry leader in manufacturing precision carbide shape dies for cold drawing wire, bar, and tube. The latest technology, from CAD/CAM systems to wire EDM to coordinate measuring machines, are used to custom design and manufacture your dies. From the smallest most intricate wire shape to complex bar and tube shapes, Glen Carbide dies can be relied upon to draw the shape you want within the tolerance required. Special coatings like titanium nitride/titanium carbide or vanadium carbide are available on request to further enhance die life.
Hex Dies
Finished standard hexagon dies are manufactured from our large inventory of EDM die blanks. Special hexagon die profiles requiring extra tall die blanks are designed and manufactured to suit the application and material being drawn. Four axis EDM technology is utilized to enable the drawing of hexagon shapes from round entry stock in one or more draw passes eliminating the need for hexagon shaped starting material.
