Cold Heading

What is Cold Heading?

The specialty cold heading process uses high speed automated “cold-headers” or “part formers.” This equipment has the ability of transforming a wire into an intricately shaped part with tight and repetitive tolerances using a tooling progression at speeds up to 400 pieces per minute.

The cold heading process is volume specific and the process uses dies and punches to convert a specific “slug” or blank of a given volume into a finished intricately shaped part of the exact same volume.

Cold Heading Advantages

The cold heading process has many advantages over machining. These include reduced material scrap which in turn leads to reduced production costs. With our innovative technical expertise and advanced heading and secondary equipment, Chicago Rivet has created significant cost savings for our customers through cold heading as compared to alternative production processes. Cold heading also allows for close repetitive and consistent tolerances at high speed, optimal for large volume requirements. With the proper engineering design, we also have the ability to produce intricate designs and shapes that may not be cost effective with other manufacturing methods.
