In an industry where margins are tight and downtime is expensive, many manufacturers overlook one of the easiest ways to increase profitability: refurbishing existing tooling.

Rather than discarding worn rings, capstans, or cones, more wire and cable producers are opting to have them restored to like-new condition. Here’s why refurbishment is a game changer.

High-performance tooling is critical for reliable wire and cable production. But even the best components wear out. The challenge for manufacturers is to extend tool life without sacrificing speed, surface finish, or tolerances.

Fortunately, there are proven strategies to achieve both.

In wire and cable manufacturing, tooling has long been the unsung hero of production efficiency. As industries worldwide shift toward higher speeds, lower tolerances, and more sustainable operations, the importance of advanced tooling design is taking center stage.

In the competitive world of wire and cable manufacturing, achieving high output is no longer the only benchmark. Manufacturers today face pressure to optimize efficiency, reduce downtime, maintain dimensional accuracy, and extend the life of their machines. At the heart of all this lies one often underestimated element: tooling.
