1. Centerless processing (tapering)

Guide wires used for catheter treatment require tip flexibility in order to pass through blood vessels.
A straight stainless steel or TiNi wire called a core wire is inserted inside the guide wire. Processing these linear tips into a tapered shape provides flexibility and allows the guide wire to be more easily inserted and advanced.

This is called centerless processing and makes it possible to process the tip of wires less than Ø2.00mm in diameter, which is difficult to achieve through conventional lathe processing.
We can vary the shape of the taper, from single to multi-step, to meet the precise needs of our customers.

2. Deformation processing

This process changes the cross-sectional shape of wire that has been drawn or heat-treated, using flat rolls, Turks Head rolls, cassette rollers or irregular dies.
We can meet the needs of our customers for everything from simple flat wire to more complex cross-sections.

3. Stranded processing

This is a process of bundling and twisting multiple strands of drawn wire together with a stranded wire machine.
We respond to new stranded wire needs from our customers based on the processing technology of PC steel wire used in the construction of structures such as bridges.

4. Terminal processing

We can handle a variety of wire-end treatments, including ball tip processing for wire products with a proven track record in medical devices such as J type and other stylets, and R processing of straight cut components.
We meet a diversity of needs from our customers, for everything from thin wires to large diameter stranded cables, including crimping grip processing for PC steel strand wire.
