Bunching Dies are precision tools used in the wire manufacturing process to guide and control multiple wires as they are twisted together into a loose, random bundle known as a bunched conductor. Unlike stranding, which arranges wires in a structured pattern, bunching allows the wires to lie in a more flexible and irregular configuration, enhancing flexibility and ease of handling. Bunching dies ensure the wires remain properly aligned during twisting, help maintain consistent bundle diameter, and improve the overall quality and uniformity of the final conductor used in applications like cords, flexible cables, and electronic wiring.
