What are the advantages of using cold heading machines to make fasteners?

Cold heading is a forging method that uses molds to upset metal rod materials at room temperature. It is usually used to make heads of screws, bolts, rivets, etc. The forging materials can be copper, aluminum, carbon steel, alloy steel, stainless steel and titanium alloys. So, what are the advantages of using cold heading machines to make fasteners?

Cold heading machinePerformance advantages of the equipment

(1) Cold pier molding at room temperature, good working surface finish, high accuracy, and excellent strength performance.

(2) Cold pier is a process that has fewer cutting, saves raw materials, reduces labor costs, and avoids repeated investment in other machine tools.

(3) The cold pier process uses molds to form wires in one go, and is operated by a robot, which greatly improves production efficiency and is safe and reliable.

(4) The cold pier forming process can process complex parts that cannot be processed by other machine tools.

(5) The cold pier forming process can replace the warm upsetting process, save labor costs and energy losses, and greatly improve production efficiency.

The question is, how to choose to buy a good cold heading machine? Continue to read below.

Selection method of cold heading machine equipment

A good cold heading machine equipment generally includes the following aspects:

(1) The crankshaft and body and impact link are made of high wear-resistant alloy, with high tensile strength and good wear resistance.

(2) Equipped with frequency conversion speed regulation device, high gear efficiency and high torque.

(3) The cutting force of the cutting rod is transmitted in a straight line, with large and stable force and good dynamic balance.

(4) The multi-station cold heading machine uses a closed clamp to convey the workpiece, which is conducive to the formation process arrangement.

(5) Equipped with a fault detector and safety protection device, and automatically shut down when the equipment fails, giving the equipment and tool mold maximum protection.

(6) The lubricating oil circuit is simple and efficient, and can effectively protect the punch rod and workpiece on the basis of ensuring circulation and filtration.
