Dies used to guide and/or form wires entering, moving through, and/or exiting bunching and stranding machines.

In the case of double and single twist bunchers, with the take-up reel on the inside of the machine, the dies are located at the entrance of the machine to gather the incoming wires.

Sometimes, the dies are located before the take-up reel inside the machine to shape the wire that goes onto the reel.

In the case of tubular and planetary stranders, stranding dies are used inside the machine to guide the wires and to gather and form the wire prior to going on the reel outside of the machine
