Heading machines

Cold forming machines produce high-strength fasteners through cold heading—a process that shapes metal at room temperature using high pressure. This preserves the grain structure of the material, resulting in superior mechanical properties compared to machined or hot-forged parts. Modern units like YUHAI TBF, TFD, TFW, and PROLU Z-G feature multi-station dies and automatic wire feeding, enabling up to 5 forming operations in a single stroke: cutoff, head forming, shaping, and sizing.

These machines are essential in automotive, construction, energy, and appliance manufacturing, where consistency, speed, and material efficiency are critical. Double-blow presses (e.g., TFD6-150) allow complex geometries through sequential deformation—ideal for specialty fasteners and high-performance components.

KNAVI GROUP supplies cold forming equipment directly from top Chinese manufacturers. All machines include full English documentation, pre-commissioning checks, and up to 2 years of warranty. Custom tooling and process development support are available for both standard (DIN, ISO) and bespoke fastener designs.

Direct factory supply ensures fast delivery worldwide. Operator training and on-site commissioning are included.
