Discover more about Cold Heading Forming Machine
Cold Heading Forming Machines form metal blanks into shaped parts by using a reciprocating punch to press a punch into a preforming tool. There is no heating required in the part manufacturing process.
The cold heading process uses a high-speed automated "cold header" or "part forming machine". This equipment is capable of machining wire into complex shapes, tight tolerances and repeatable parts at speeds of up to 400 parts per minute.
Certain lengths of wire material that are placed into molds and hammers are used to upset or extrude the material into a variety of desired shapes.
Because the cold heading process is volume specific and the process uses a given volume to form the exact same volume of finished complex shaped part, the material will simply be rearranged. Loss of material or scrap is minimal.
In addition to upsetting and extrusion, cold heading is often performed in conjunction with other cold forming operations such as:
Sizing
Punching
Prune
Thread rolling
