Van Steel to introduce the new VS20 CVD fixed die: one system, maximum precision

Van Steel is glad to present the latest innovation developed by Cav. Albino Vanossi: the new VS20 CVD20 fixed die, currently patent pending with the Italian Ministry of Economic Development (filed May 2025).

Designed to deliver high technical performance with strong economic benefits, the VS20 CVD fixed die represents an advanced solution for wire and tube drawing operations requiring precision, continuity, and reduced downtime.

Interchangeable CVD-coated cores for uninterrupted production

The distinguishing feature of the VS20 system is its modular design: a single die holder can accommodate multiple interchangeable CVD-coated cores, all manufactured with identical profiles and controlled tolerances.

Before the coating of the core in use reaches wear limits, operators can replace it quickly with a new identical core, ensuring continuous production without stopping the drawing line.

Assembly procedures and mounting pressure specifications are supplied by Van Steel for customers equipped with presses featuring dedicated charts. Alternatively, core assembly can be performed directly by Van Steel as a contract service.

Main advantages of the VS20 CVD fixed die

• Continuous production flow with no interruption during core replacement
• Reduced machine downtime and faster maintenance operations
• Lower tooling costs by eliminating the need for duplicate holders
• Stable dimensional accuracy thanks to identical core profiles and tolerances
• Extended service life, up to twice that of conventional SPE dies

The VS20 CVD fixed die is an effective solution for manufacturers seeking to optimize drawing efficiency, reduce operational costs, and improve process reliability in cold drawing applications.
