Cold Forming Machinery  

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 Mtons to 1600 Mtons)
  • Type of Transfer - (click on animation .mpgs)
