FAST FLEMISH SWAGE SYSTEM
Wirop is pleased to introduce a new “Fast Flemish Swage” system.
Flemish eye swaging is achieved with just two (2) simple and controlled swaging steps
saving time and vastly improving productivity. The process is simple and effective and
utilizes standard carbon steel sleeves available from Wirop as well as other
manufacturers. The after swage dimensions of the swaged sleeves are the same as the
after swage dimensions of sleeves swaged in the conventional methods.
This swaging is not only faster and

more efficient but it greatly reduces
instructions
the possibility of over or under
swaging the sleeve. In the first swage FIGURE A
step, the sleeve cannot be over
swaged because of the precise
notching of the die; the second step
allows a controlled closing of the dies
to slightly less than full closure
whereby the third and final step allows
full close of the dies. The end result is
a nearly smooth round swaged sleeve
without the usual “wrinkles” one gets
from the conventional swaging
methods.
Conventional swaging methods

the wire rope with repeated multiple
closing of the dies until the sleeve is

"multi-swage" system of swaging steel

die closures depending on the wire

and larger, two dies are necessary to

In the Wirop “Fast Flemish Swage”
system not only are the number of
swages minimized and simplified,
over and under swaging are
eliminated and multi-swages on
sleeves over 1” in size are greatly
reduced from ten to three. Die

taper is also eliminated as there is no
need to swage in the open channel
first.
Wirop “Fast Flemish Swage” system
is currently available up to and
including 2-1/2” sleeve diameters.
Bigger size capabilities are under
development.

adjust the hydraulic pressure simply
by setting the sleeve size on a round
dial. This function alone eliminates the
guesswork for how much pressure to
apply for a given size sleeve. Another
simple dial but extremely useful
function allows the die openings to be
fixed to any desired amount of

to wait until the dies are fully open to

oval ferrules are swaged in just one
swage step as the dies have cutting
edges that cut off the excess flash.
The fully “automatic” one button
swage for Aluminum oval ferrules is a
huge time saver. In the automatic
mode the dies close and open with the
push of a button. Furthermore, when

the dies open the opening can be
pre-set to just enough space to allow
the swage sleeve to be removed,
again saving time to insert the next
sleeve to be swaged quickly and
efficiently.
Wirop swagers provide ultimate
flexibility for the customer as it affords
the customer to use the machine with
other manufacturers’ dies. When
ordering the machine, the type and
make of the dies need to be specified
for the correct die adapter to be used
in these applications. Voltages can be
specified to suit the user’s voltage
facilities.
