Our Products
Uk Carbide Dies offers a comprehensive range of high-performance tooling solutions for the hot and cold forging industries. Every product is engineered to meet the highest standards of durability, accuracy, and reliability. Explore our product range below.
01
Torx Dies
Purpose: Specialized dies designed to form external Torx profiles (including Torx, Torx Plus, and Strux variations).
Function: Create precise, star-patterned (six-lobed) features in materials for applications that demand high quality and wear resistance.
Material: Typically manufactured in carbide for enhanced durability.
02
Steel & Carbide Dies
Purpose: Dies built using either carbide or steel, employed in various forming applications—including extrusion, blanking, and point forming.
Function: Shape, cut, and extrude materials into predetermined configurations with high precision.
Strenghts: Offer a balance between toughness (steel) and wear resistance (carbide).
03
Taptite
Purpose: Tooling aligned with the Taptite program, including variants such as duo-Taptite and Taptite 2000.
Function: These tools are engineered for precision tapping and forming, helping manufacture threaded features or fastener-related components in cold forming operations.
Reliability: Known for enhancing consistency and production speed through their tailored design.
04
Punches
Purpose: Tools that drive a cutting or forming action by imparting a punching force to create perforations, blanks, or custom forms.
Function: Used in operations such as stamping and heading where a precise, forceful impact is needed to shape metal or similar materials.
Application: Common in progressive dies and high-speed production lines.
05
Carbide & Steel Inserts
Purpose: Replaceable cutting or forming edges integrated into dies and punches.
Function: Enhance tool life by isolating wear to the insert rather than the whole tool assembly.
Materials: Typically made from carbide for hardness or steel for toughness depending on the application.
06
Cut off Knives
Purpose: Precision knives incorporated into tooling to cut off or trim excess material.
Function: Provide a clean separation of material during operations such as blanking or extrusion, ensuring a smooth finished edge.
Design: Engineered to deliver a sharp, consistent edge even under high-speed conditions.
07
Segmented Steel & Carbide Dies
Purpose: Dies assembled from multiple segments—some made of steel and others of carbide—to create a composite tool.
Function: Allow for easier replacement of worn sections while combining the toughness of steel with the hardness of carbide at the cutting edges.
Advantage: Increases tool life and offers flexibility in meeting varied production demands.
08
Cases
Purpose: Structural housings in tooling assemblies that support the die segments, inserts, or sleeves.
Function: Ensure high stability, alignment, and overall integrity of the tool during high-pressure forming processes.
Design: Engineered to cater to both standard and complex configurations, sometimes incorporating features like taper bores or cross holes.
09
Sleeves
Purpose: Cylindrical components that protect and guide other parts of the tooling assembly.
Function: Maintain alignment during the forming process and reduce wear on critical surfaces by acting as sacrificial or guiding elements.
Variations: May be standard, split, or composite, depending on the operational requirements.
09
Steel & Carbide Pins
Purpose: Precision components used to align and secure various elements within a tool assembly.
Function: Serve as guide pins or locating pins, ensuring consistent registration between die parts.
Materials: Offered in both steel for toughness and carbide for extended life in high-wear environments.
10
Trimming Dies
Purpose: Dies dedicated to trimming excess material from the final formed product.
Function: Ensure that the product edges are clean and accurately defined, removing flash or surplus material after the primary forming operation.
Outcome: Provide a finished, high-quality edge that meets precise manufacturing tolerances.
11
Transfer Fingers
Purpose: Components that facilitate the movement of workpieces between different stations in multi-stage forming processes.
Function: Guide and reposition parts accurately to ensure consistency and reduce misalignment during progressive operations.
Benefits: Enhance production efficiency by minimizing manual handling and errors.
12
Feed Rolls
Purpose: Rolling devices designed to feed sheet material—such as metal—into forming machines.
Function: Ensure the material is smoothly and accurately fed into the press, supporting constant alignment and steady throughput in high-speed manufacturing.
Role: Critical for maintaining consistent quality throughout the production process.
13
Cut off Quills
Purpose: Specialized cutting tools resembling a quill assembly that hold a carbide insert within a protective case.
Function: Perform precision cut-off operations in high-speed forming processes, offering an alternative to the conventional cut off knife.
Role: Engineered for effective material separation, ensuring a smooth and consistent cut even at elevated production rates.
