Cables -Carbide Dies used in Cable Industry


 CABLES

Cables are most often two or more wires running side by side and bonded, twisted or braided together to form a single assembly.
Cables can also mean a heavy strong rope known as wire ropes which is used for lifting, hauling and towing or conveying force through tension.
 In electrical engineering - cables are used to carry electric currents.
 An optical cable contains one or more optical fibers in a protective jacket that supports the fibers.


Electric cables are mainly meant for installation in buildings and industrial sites.

 For power transmission at distances greater than a few kilometres  high-voltage cables, power cables are used.

Carbide dies used in Cable Industry are as follows:

  1.  Carbide Wire Drawing Dies are used in Rod break down machines , wet wire drawing machines as well as dry wire drawing.
  2. Carbide Compacting Dies are used for compacting the bunches of wires. Also called as bunching dies.
  3.  Extrusion Dies and Nozzles  These Dies and nozzles are made  in steel , as well as tungsten carbide for various machines for PVC coating of cables.
  4.  Carbide wire guide bushings used in stranding machines , tubular machines.
  5.  Other carbide toolings for improving wear resistance in the manufacturing process of cables.

Now a days, carbide is used in many places in cable industry for good wear resistance.
