Stranding, bunching, and compacting dies are the final precision tools in conductor manufacturing. A stranding or bunching die guides multiple individual wires into a single unified strand — controlling lay and geometry as they converge. A compacting die then reduces the stranded bundle's cross-section, improving mechanical stability, eliminating voids, and producing a denser, rounder conductor. At Walson Woodburn, we work directly with your cable design team to optimise die geometry for your specific compaction target — achieving higher fill factors and smaller overall cable diameters without compromising Conductor Resistance (CR) values.

We manufacture compacting dies up to 50 mm using high-precision machining and controlled finishing processes to ensure uniform compaction and dimensional stability.
Quality is engineered
into every step at
Walson Woodburn.
At Walson Woodburn, quality is built into every micron. Our internationally benchmarked systems ensure consistent precision and complete traceability.
With advanced tools like the Conoptica Die Profile System and laser micrometers (0.1 micron accuracy), we deliver exact control over every parameter. Each die carries a unique barcode identity, ensuring seamless traceability across production.
Because precision, for us, leaves no room for compromise.
