Reconditioning & repair of drawing tools
Regrinding, recoating and repair for longer tool life
wire drawing tools high mechanical and thermal stresses during the wire drawing process. As operating time increases, wear occurs on the drawing surfaces, changes in geometry may occur, or the surface may become damaged. wire drawing tools , professional reconditioning allows many wire drawing tools to be reused multiple times. NABER & WISSMANN offers comprehensive services for the repair of drawing tools and restores the tools’ original function and geometry. Reconditioning extends the economic service life of the tools and reduces the cost per meter of wire produced.
For customers within a radius of approximately 100 km, we also offer a pickup and delivery service for wire drawing tools requiring reconditioning, in order to reduce transportation costs and ensure prompt service.
Quick return to production
In the event of wear and tear or quality issues, the rapid replacement of tools is crucial for production reliability.
We support our customers with short turnaround times and fast service for the repair of drawing tools. For customers in the local area, we also offer a drop-off and pickup service for tools. This allows worn tools to be quickly returned to the production process.
Service as part of the tool lifecycle
The reconditioning and repair of drawing tools is a key component of the lifecycle management of wire-contacting components. Regular maintenance can extend die life and optimize production costs over the long term.

Reconditioning of drawing tools
During the wire drawing process, drawing surfaces change due to wear, material abrasion, or deposits. Proper reconditioning ensures that the geometry and surface quality of the tools once again meet technical requirements.
We offer reconditioning services for various types of drawing tools, including:
- drawing rings
- drawing cones
- Drawing capstans
- Drawing discs
Precise machining restores the drawing surfaces to their specified condition, allowing the tools to be reused in the production process.
Tool refurbishment services
The reconditioning process involves several steps, depending on the condition and design of the tool in question.
Typical services include:
- Re-grinding of drawing surfaces
- High-gloss polishing of the wire contact surfaces
- Stripping worn surfaces
- Re-coating the tools
- Geometric reconstruction of tool contours
The goal is to restore the original function and performance of the drawing tools.
Extending tool life
The reconditioning of drawing tools is an important part of cost-effective tool management. Instead of replacing a die after it has worn out, it can be reconditioned multiple times and reused.
The advantages of refurbishment are:
- extended service lives
- lower tooling costs
- less downtime in production
- more sustainable use of existing components
Especially in the case of high-quality drawing tools, reconditioning can significantly extend their economic service life.
