Products Introduction

Two-Die Heading Machine is a cold forming device equipped with two dies, mainly used to produce standard fasteners such as bolts, pins, and rivets. It performs two successive heading operations—typically for performing and final shaping—to ensure accurate geometry and improved structural integrity. The working principle involves cutting wire to a fixed length, then using two heading stages to form the desired shape gradually. This machine is widely used in fastener manufacturing where efficiency, consistency, and durability are essential.

Comparing Two-Die Heading Machines with Other Alternatives

When choosing equipment for fastener manufacturing, understanding the differences between two-die heading machines and other heading technologies is essential. Here's how two-die heading machines compare with common alternatives:

Two-Die vs. Single-Die Heading Machines

• Two-Die Machines: Use two sequential forming dies to shape parts in multiple stages, allowing for more complex shapes and better dimensional accuracy. Ideal for medium to high-volume production with moderate complexity.
• Single-Die Machines: Perform forming in one step, suitable for simpler parts and lower production volumes but limited in shaping capability and precision.

Two-Die vs. Multi-Die Heading Machines

• Two-Die Machines: Offer a balance between complexity and speed, suitable for a wide range of fasteners with decent tooling costs and changeover times.
• Multi-Die Machines: Use several forming stations in one cycle, enabling very complex shapes and high precision but with higher initial investment and maintenance complexity. Best for very high-volume, specialized production.

Two-Die vs. Cold Heading Machines with Different Configurations

Two-die machines are a subset of cold heading technology optimized for intermediate complexity parts, offering good throughput with precise control. Other cold heading machines with more dies can handle more complex parts but at increased cost and complexity.
