2026-05-15

A cold heading machine is a specialized forging and pressing device that leverages the room-temperature plastic deformation properties of metals to perform upsetting, forming, chamfering, and diameter-reducing operations on round bar stock and wire. It can produce components such as bolts, nuts, rivets, pins, and custom‑shaped fasteners without the need for high‑temperature heating.

A cold heading machine is a specialized forging and pressing device that leverages the room‑temperature plastic deformation properties of metals to perform upsetting, forming, chamfering, and diameter reduction on round bar stock and wire. It can produce components such as bolts, nuts, rivets, pins, and custom‑shaped fasteners without the need for high‑temperature heating. The equipment employs a cam‑, connecting‑rod‑, and die‑driven mechanism to enable continuous operations of automatic feeding, cutting, clamping, and cold heading, ensuring a highly streamlined process flow and making it well suited for the mass production of standardized parts.

Cold forging features low material waste, preserves the integrity of the metal’s fibrous microstructure after forming, and delivers consistently stable mechanical properties, making it widely used in the manufacturing of hardware fasteners, automotive components, mechanical parts, electronic connectors, and more. Based on the station configuration, it is available in single‑station and multi‑station models, catering to diverse production needs for both simple standard parts and complex custom‑shaped components.
