Multi-station Parts Making Machine

The correct parts former configuration depends primarily on the number of operations required to transform the wire blank into the final geometry.

More stations do not automatically mean a better machine for every product. A part that can be completed efficiently in five forming operations does not necessarily benefit from a six- or seven-station machine. The finished drawing and intended forming sequence should determine the machine configuration.

Our multi-station parts formers are designed for more than a single standard fastener shape. By changing the tooling and forming sequence within the machine's capacity, different cold-formed geometries can be evaluated.

Based on our existing production samples and machine range, typical applications can include:

Hex and Socket-Style Fasteners

Our published 5- and 6-die specifications include separate HEX and SOCKET product dimensions, confirming both as part of the intended forming range.

Long-Shank Components

Selected 5-die configurations support product lengths up to 355 mm, providing options for longer cold-formed components within the published capacity range.

Stepped and Multi-Diameter Parts

Components with several diameter transitions may require a sequence of controlled forming operations across multiple stations.

Headed and Profiled Components

Different head shapes and local forming features can be produced through appropriate die and punch configurations.

Special-Shaped Cold-Formed Parts

For non-standard parts, we recommend starting from the finished component drawing rather than selecting a machine model first.

A parts former machine progressively transforms a wire blank through several dies. Each station performs a controlled step until the required geometry is formed.

Upsetting

Material is displaced to increase the cross-section locally, such as when forming a head or enlarged section.

Extrusion

Material can be redistributed to create reduced diameters, extended sections, recesses, or other appropriate geometries.

Progressive Forming

Rather than forcing the final geometry in one step, multi-station forming distributes the work across several dies and punches.

Part Transfer

The component is transferred from one forming station to the next while maintaining the orientation required by the forming sequence.

The exact combination of operations depends on the finished part geometry, material, tooling, and machine configuration.

We separate our Bolt Former and Parts Former product families because they serve different forming requirements.

If your project mainly involves bolts and standard fastener geometries, explore our bolt former machine.

If your component requires a longer multi-stage cold-forming sequence, a parts former may be the more appropriate starting point.

The structural materials used in a multi-station former influence rigidity, wear resistance, and long-term machine stability.

On applicable SHINETOP configurations, current specifications include:

The material being formed affects the required forming load, tooling, production speed, and achievable geometry.

On applicable SHINETOP configurations, current product information includes materials such as:

Carbon Steel

Commonly used for standard fasteners and industrial cold-formed components.

Alloy Steel

Suitable for applications requiring higher material strength, subject to the forming requirements of the specific grade.

Stainless Steel

Can be evaluated for corrosion-resistant fasteners and parts within the appropriate machine and tooling capacity.

Aluminum

Suitable for selected lightweight cold-formed components.

Copper

Can be formed for suitable component applications.

Actual production capacity depends on the product geometry, material properties, and tensile strength of the wire. SHINETOP's published specifications explicitly note these variables.

Continuous parts forming depends on stable feeding, cutting, transferring, clamping, forming, and ejection—not only on nominal forming force.

Adjustable Transfer System

The transfer mechanism moves the workpiece between forming stations. Adjustable transfer fingers help adapt the transfer setup to different part geometries and forming sequences.

Controlled Cut-Off and Feed Length

Consistent blank preparation is important before the material enters the forming sequence. Applicable machine structures combine controlled cut-off mechanisms with adjustable feeding systems.

Pneumatic Clutch and Machine Control

Applicable SHINETOP configurations use pneumatic clutch systems to support controlled starting, smooth braking, single-stroke operation, and continuous running. The current parts former page also specifies PLC working-status monitoring and fault alarm functions.

Synchronized Punch Ejection

On applicable configurations, punch ejection can synchronize with the retreat of the main slide, helping keep the formed component in the die until the appropriate ejection point.

Stable Pneumatic Clamping

The current machine design includes a rotary swing clamp with pneumatic actuation to support stable material clamping during transfer.

Specialized Multi-Station Product Range

We provide 5-, 6-, and 7-die configurations for different multi-step forming requirements.

17,600 m² Manufacturing Facility

Our production facility supports machine-component machining, assembly, inspection, and complete machine preparation.

20 Sets Monthly Production Capacity

Our current production capacity supports standard equipment orders and customized forming projects.

In-House Large-Scale Machining

Gantry machining, CNC machining, boring, large-lathe, and inspection equipment support production of critical machine structures.

Drawing-Based Equipment Evaluation

For special or non-standard parts, we evaluate the finished drawing rather than recommending a machine solely according to a catalog model.
