The shaped wires are increasingly used (connectors, generators, micro-generators, energy cables, filtration…).
Drawing a shaped wire provides a higher precision than rolling.
Experienced in designing and manufacturing diamond shaped dies from 0.030 mm (30 µm) up to 25.00 mm, Balloffet advises and supports you.
- Personalized feasibility study – dies sequence calculation
- Die definition (angles, bearing, etc…) and optimal geometry achievement
- Sizing Preciseness: tight tolerances and ultra-reduced radius (mini R < 10µ)
- Very high mirror polishing quality for an excellent surface finish, particularly for your enamelled wires
- Large shapes diversity possible
- Long-lasting for the best Return on Investment.
Complementary or in substitution of your rolling process, Balloffet presents a complete unique shape dies offer, with mono-crystalline (SSCD) or poly-crystalline (PCD) diamonds.
Our highly reproduceable processes in manufacturing allow us to ensure a very good level of straightness and wires and tubes surface finish.
