Cold forming equipment is typically a horizontal press that feeds wire, cuts the wire to an appropriate length which is then transferred through a series of tools and dies to form the material into a desired shape.
Machines have many variations according to the type of parts that are to be produced including:
- Cutoff diameter capability (ranges from 2mm to 48mm)
- Feed length capability (ranges from 2mm to 300mm+)
- Tonnage (ranges from 5 metric tons to 1600 metric tons)
- Type of transfer
