1. What types of parts can this machine produce?
This machine is primarily designed to manufacture fasteners and components in the M8-M12 size range, such as bolts, screws, rivets, and other similar parts. With its 6-die, 6-blow configuration, it can create complex geometries and detailed features through a multi-step forming process. The flexibility of tooling adjustments allows it to produce a wide variety of parts within this size range, making it suitable for applications requiring high precision and strength.
2. How does full automation enhance production efficiency?
The machine is equipped with full automation features, including automatic feeding systems, part ejection mechanisms, and integrated quality control systems. These capabilities significantly boost production efficiency by reducing manual labor, minimizing human error, and ensuring consistent output. The fully automated process handles everything from raw material input to finished product output without human intervention, enabling continuous operation and shorter cycle times, which ultimately increases overall productivity.
3. What specific adjustments are needed for processing different materials?
This machine is capable of handling a variety of materials, including steel, stainless steel, brass, and aluminum. Each material may require specific adjustments to parameters such as pressure, feed rate, and other operational settings to achieve optimal forming results. For example, harder materials like stainless steel may require higher pressure and slower feed rates, while softer materials like brass may need more precise control to avoid deformation or damage during the forming process.
4. How does this machine improve the strength properties of the final products?
The cold heading process used by this machine enhances the material's strength through strain hardening. As the metal is formed under high pressure at room temperature, its grain structure becomes more compact and aligned. This results in stronger and more durable parts compared to those produced by traditional machining methods. This increase in strength and durability makes the machine ideal for producing components that must withstand heavy loads or harsh operating conditions, ensuring better performance and reliability in demanding applications.
