Quality control for wire drawing dies
Easy to use and highly accurate, CU4 uses Conoptica’s unique, model-based diameter casing axis measurement algorithm, enabling outstanding results and reports for drawing die measurement.
Affordable accuracy
CU4 is our entry level drawing die measurement solution, enabling rapid, accurate measurement of diameter and ovality.
Optimized for 2D measurement
Quickly and easily obtain diameter and ovality measurements for continuous quality control and production optimization.
Effective in demanding conditions
Accuracy is ensured in demanding conditions encountered on the factory floor, even when debris, dirt or other foreign particles are present in the drawing die.
Traceable, accurate and consistent
All measurements are traceable and consistent, and backed by comprehensive, exportable reports providing insights across your inventory and a record of all data.
I know what you’re thinking. Seriously, I do. And I’ll prove it. I’ll prove it with a statement: all measurements are precluded by a conceptualization.
Wire drawing die measurement systems
Why should you measure your wire drawing dies?
Conoptica’s solutions take your quality control to the next level, giving you a competitive edge and better outcomes for your customers.
Reduce production halts
By regularly measuring wire drawing dies, you can more easily identify flawed units that might cause production halts, helping to ensure smooth delivery.
Increase wire drawing speed
Ensuring that the aperture of your drawing dies is of the correct dimensions means that you can draw faster, increasing efficiency and production speeds.
Improved wire quality
Delivering consistently to the right specifications ensures you maintain quality for your customers and enhance your reputation as a supplier.
Extend die lifecycle
Optimize the useful life of your dies by quality checking for defects and determining for how long they can be used before replacement.
Support sustainability, reduce waste
Wire breaks and flawed production output increases scrap and impacts sustainability. Reduce breaks and waste by ensuring dies are fit for purpose.
Reduce internal communications
Interruptions to production, incorrect inventory and more create friction and lead to time spent on internal communication and processes.
Software options for the CU4
The CU4 wire drawing die measurement system offers outstanding accuracy and supports a range of different software options, providing flexibility for different measuring applications. Specially adapted to provide 2D measurements, it is easy to get started and onboard new users.
Drawing die diameter and ovality
Simplified measurement of drawing die diameter between 0.020 and 7.000 mm, and casings up to 55mm, and ovality. Designed for systems without rotating axes.
Wire, pin and needle
Rapid, easy 2D measurement of wire samples, pins, needle angles and more, our solution enables grinding needle angles to be verified and drawn wire to be sampled.
Shaped die cross section measurement
A simplified version of the shaped die profile application option, supporting 2D cross section geometry measurement.
X-cut section
Conoptica can also enable the inspection of cross-sections of products, such as shaped wire, rings, and machined parts, through the installation of a special Brightfield objective.
A leading source of high accuracy measurement systems
Conoptica provides innovative, camera-based measurement solutions that help our customers to maintain accuracy, boost production, and to deliver higher quality products. Our solutions are optimised for the Wire and Cable and the Machine Tool industries.
