| Guill Tool & Engineering Co Inc. has recently released its innovative FlexiSpiral� line of crossheads and inline dies, that offers improved extrusion performance for pipe, wire, cable, and hose and tube manufacturing. According to the company, a key benefit of the new technology is that it improves concentricity or product roundness, greatly reducing material usage over other types of extrusion tooling. The FlexiSpiral� series offers a patent pending FeatherTouch� adjustment in the die holder - a cartridge style ball assembly that does not require the loosening of retaining screws to make adjustments.
Additional unique benefits include Guill's Seal Right Systems, a positive seal, which eliminates leakage between deflectors, along with easy self-alignment that reduces operator error during assembly. The FlexiSpiral� tooling encompasses a 1-5-layer capability with multi-feed port locations to allow for customer variations in their specific extruder layout. �Today the escalating costs of compound material are important to control. Savings on just one extrusion system with a FlexiSpiral� crosshead can be thousands of dollars over the course of a year's production�, commented Mr Bill Conley, Guill sales manager.
Guill Tool also manufactures tips, dies, and breaker plates using state-of-the-art computerised CNC machining and EDM equipment. Furthermore, engineering services using the latest CAD systems are available for custom-designing extrusion tooling product such as crossheads, tips, clamps, flanges, forming rolls, spiderless in-line dies, dies, swing gates, breaker plates, special equipment and sizing dies.
