Q What should I do if the die bore cannot be located?
  1. Switch to a lower-magnification lens. For example, if you are using a 10× lens, switch to .

  2. Move the die stage and look for a bright spot in the software image. Once found, move the bright spot to the center of the image, then adjust the Z-axis until the double-ring image becomes clear.

  3. Switch back to the original magnification. Move the die stage again to center the bright spot, then adjust the Z-axis until the double-ring image is clear. If the image is already clear after switching back, no further Z-axis adjustment is needed.

Q What do Ar(%), Ar1(%), and Ar2(%) mean in the measurement software?

Ar(%) is an input parameter used to calculate the bearing length.
Ar1(%) and Ar2(%) are input parameters used to calculate the reduction angle. Their positions in the measurement interface are shown below:

In the example above, Ar(%) = 2.2. This means the bearing length is calculated based on the position where the die bore cross-sectional area reaches (1 + 2.2%) × A, where A is the minimum cross-sectional area of the die bore.

Starting from the minimum area A (purple dashed line below), the area increases by 2.2%, creating two positions as indicated by the blue arrows. The calculated bearing length in this example is 33%.

Ar1(%) = 5.0 and Ar2(%) = 20.0. The reduction angle is calculated using the positions where the die bore cross-sectional area reaches (1 + 5.0%) × A and (1 + 20.0%) × A.

Starting from the minimum area A (purple dashed line below), the area increases by 5% and 20%, creating two positions shown by the green arrows. The calculated reduction angle in this example is 15°.

Note: The die bore cross-sectional area is calculated from the radius along the die center axis, so two bearing length values and two reduction angle values can be obtained.

Q What does the effective bearing length mean?

The effective bearing length is calculated using the following formula:

Effective Bearing Length = (Overlap of the Left and Right Bearing Zones + (Left Bearing Length + Right Bearing Length) / 2) / 2

This value is designed to represent the actual effective bearing length of the wire drawing die as accurately as possible.
