Multi-station part former machines, also known as automatic multi-station cold part formers, special shaped parts forming machines, are advanced metal forming systems widely used in precision manufacturing industries. These machines utilize cold forging technology to produce a variety of complex metal components, such as bushings, pins, sleeves, and structural parts, with high efficiency and dimensional accuracy.
Featuring multiple forming stations (typically ranging from 3 to 7 or more), the machines perform sequential operations including cutting, upsetting, extrusion, piercing, and trimming in a single automated cycle. Each station handles a specific stage of the forming process, enabling the creation of intricate shapes and tight tolerances without the need for additional machining.
We offer six-station (6 Die 6 Blow) and seven-station (7 Die 7 Blow) part former machines specifically designed for high-speed, precision forming of complex metal components. Both models are optimized for mass production, with the seven-station machine offering enhanced versatility for manufacturing parts with intricate geometries or multi-step forming requirements. Each machine supports fully automated operation and can be tailored with custom configurations to accommodate a wide range of industrial applications.
