Wire tools
Company Overview and Heritage
Bettner stands as a prominent provider of wire enameling dies and accessories, distinguished by four generations of specialized experience within the field. The company emphasizes its deep expertise, positioning itself as an original creator of many die designs commonly used today. This extensive heritage underscores a commitment to quality and innovation in wire coating solutions.
Diverse Product Portfolio
The company offers a comprehensive range of dies tailored for various applications. The Universal Assembly utilizes hardened grooved sleeves for applying enamel to square, rectangular, and flat wires. These assemblies are spring-loaded and self-adjusting, available in multiple styles and sizes, with replacement parts like springs, sleeves, and blocks also offered. Grooved sleeves are central to the coating process, available in various shapes and thread sizes, with Bettner providing assistance in calculating specific needs based on enamel viscosity and machine speeds.
Roller dies deliver precise enamel and coating thicknesses through V-shaped grooves, commonly used in horizontal ovens. Bettner also produces hexagonal hole designs using two shaped parallel rollers for vertical applications, accommodating a wide range of wire sizes and materials. Bullet dies, or solid body dies, provide a cost-effective solution with a conical approach to the final diameter, custom-made from materials such as steel and aluminum. For enhanced operational efficiency, split domes are available, allowing die changes on running wires to minimize downtime, and are offered in brass, hardened tool steel, and stainless steel to meet varying wear and corrosion requirements.
Applications and Customization
Historically, Bettner dies were integral to the manufacturing of magnet and ignition wires. However, with advancements in the healthcare sector, the dies are now primarily utilized for precision medical tubing and lumens. Additional applications include applying anti-fraying agents to threads, yarns, and braided thermocouple wire. Bettner prides itself on its ability to custom-make dies for specific applications, leveraging its extensive expertise to match client requirements with optimal solutions.
