The operating principle of a high-speed cold heading machine is based on the theory of metal plastic deformation. At room temperature, pressure is applied to a metal billet, causing it to undergo plastic deformation within the die cavity, ultimately taking on the predetermined shape and dimensions.
Working principle of a high-speed cold heading machine
The operating principle of a high-speed cold heading machine is based on the theory of metal plastic deformation. At room temperature, pressure is applied to a metal billet, causing it to undergo plastic deformation within the die cavity and ultimately taking on the predetermined shape and dimensions. The core process is as follows:
Blank Preparation and Feeding
Cold-drawn round (or bar) stock is used as the raw material, and a feeding mechanism precisely conveys the blank to the cutting station. The feed length is digitally adjustable with an accuracy of up to 0.01 mm, and a sensor‑based real‑time monitoring system ensures consistent feeding stability each time.
Cut off from the initial surge
After the blank is cut, it proceeds to the primary punching station. Under high-speed motion, the punch applies pressure to the blank, imparting its initial shape. During this process, the punch and die are precisely aligned, with digital adjustment accuracy reaching 0.01 mm, ensuring minimal blank displacement and high precision.
Fine blanking and forming
After the initial upsetting, the blank is transferred to the fine‑blanking station, where it undergoes further processing with a more precise die to achieve the final shape. At this stage, the die design must be optimized—employing flat dies, conical dies, or split‑type dies—to accommodate various cross‑sectional geometries.
Threading and blanking
The formed parts undergo thread rolling at the threading station and are then automatically ejected. The entire process runs continuously, delivering exceptionally high production efficiency—up to 80–240 parts per minute.
Characteristics of High-Speed Cold Heading Machines
Efficiency
Multi-station design: Modern high-speed cold heading machines have evolved from simple two‑station setups to multi‑station configurations, enabling the sequential execution of operations such as blanking, heading, accumulation, forming, chamfering, thread rolling, diameter reduction, and edge trimming, thereby significantly enhancing production efficiency.
High-speed operation: The main motor employs variable-frequency drive technology, offering a wide adjustable speed range to accommodate the production of parts with different specifications. Some models can reach speeds of several hundred cycles per minute, delivering production efficiency that far surpasses conventional equipment.
High precision
Digital Control: Equipped with a microcomputer control system and a human–machine interface (HMI), it enables real-time display and adjustment of punch angle, rotational speed, die height, and fault locations, ensuring precise and controllable machining parameters.
Precision guiding system: Employs a multi‑guide‑post guiding structure, coupled with high‑wear‑resistant alloy copper bushings, ensuring smooth, backlash‑free slider motion and machining accuracy within ±0.01 mm.
High material utilization rate
Cold work hardening: During the upsetting process, the metal undergoes cold work hardening, which enhances the part’s strength and wear resistance while reducing material waste.
High-precision cutting: The cutting system employs guide plates to drive the tool holder, ensuring direct transmission of cutting forces, excellent force stability, and superior dynamic balance. This guarantees precise cut lengths and achieves material utilization rates of 80%–90%.
Highly adaptable
Multi-material machining: Capable of processing a wide range of metals, including steel, aluminum, copper, and brass, to meet the diverse needs of various industries.
Wide range of specifications: Available in multiple tonnage classes and models; higher tonnage delivers superior machining accuracy and production efficiency. Users can flexibly select based on material thickness, required punching force, and budget.
Energy conservation and environmental protection
Low‑energy design: Equipped with a pneumatic clutch brake to reduce motor power consumption; features a two‑stage gear transmission system that delivers high transmission efficiency and substantial torque.
Fully enclosed production: Some models feature a fully sealed design, reducing noise and dust emissions for safer, cleaner operations.
Intelligence and Automation
Intelligent Control System: Automated production is achieved through PLC programming, supporting synchronized interoperation with feeding machines, leveling units, robotic arms, and other equipment.
Fault self‑diagnosis function: Equipped with a fault detector and safety protection devices, the equipment automatically shuts down and triggers an alarm in the event of a malfunction, ensuring the safety of both the equipment and the tooling.
Easy maintenance
Modular Design: Key components such as the crankshaft, engine block, and impact connecting rod are joined using high‑wear‑resistant alloy copper bearings, offering high load capacity, extended service life, and reduced maintenance costs.
User-friendly operation: The front section of the machine bed features increased workspace, making setup and operation more convenient; the feeding mechanism employs a dual-feed roller design, ensuring smoother and more reliable material feed.
