Header Punch

What is a Header Punch?

A header punch is a core tool in the cold heading process, primarily used for forming the heads of screws, bolts, and other fasteners. It plays a crucial role in ensuring the precision and uniformity of the component’s head during manufacturing. The header punch is responsible for shaping the material into the desired form under high pressure, making it essential for the production of high-quality fasteners.

At Xiluo Mold, we offer a wide range of header punches, including:

Tungsten Carbide Header Punches

Known for their superior hardness, wear resistance, and durability, tungsten carbide header punches are ideal for high-volume production and provide exceptional performance even under extreme conditions.

Standard Header Punches

These punches are designed for general cold heading applications and offer a reliable, cost-effective solution for producing standard fasteners with consistent quality.

Custom Header Punches

We also provide custom-made header punches tailored to specific client requirements, such as unique dimensions or designs for specialized applications.

Product Features

High Precision

Header punches are designed with extreme precision to ensure that each fastener head is uniformly formed to meet the required specifications. This precision is essential for maintaining consistent quality in high-volume production runs, where even the smallest deviations can lead to defects or subpar performance in the final product.

Durability and Wear Resistance

Manufactured from high-quality materials such as tool steel and carbide, our header punches are built to withstand the demands of the cold heading process. These materials offer exceptional resistance to wear and tear, ensuring that the punches maintain their shape and functionality over extended use. This contributes to reduced downtime and fewer tool replacements, improving production efficiency.

Custom Solutions

  • We offer customized header punches designed to meet the specific needs of our Whether it’s adjusting the size for different screw dimensions, designing punches for unique materials, or creating custom shapes for specialized applications, our team works closely with clients to provide tailored solutions that optimize the manufacturing process.

Technical Specifications

TypeDescription
Material OptionsOur header punches are crafted from a range of premium materials, including:
1.Tool Steel: Ideal for general cold heading applications, offering a balance of cost-effectiveness and durability.
2.Carbide: Known for its superior hardness and resistance to wear, making it the ideal choice for high-volume production and demanding applications.
3.Other Alloys: We can also manufacture punches using various other alloys, selected based on the specific application requirements.
Dimensions and TolerancesHeader punches are available in a variety of sizes to suit different fastener types. Our manufacturing capabilities allow us to meet precise tolerances, ensuring that each punch fits seamlessly into your production process. Custom sizes and tolerances can be specified to match the needs of your specific applications.
Hardness and DurabilityThe hardness of our header punches is carefully controlled to ensure optimal performance in cold heading applications. Typically, our punches feature hardness in the range of Rockwell C 50-65 depending on the material and intended use. Heat treatment processes, such as quenching and tempering, are employed to enhance the hardness and overall durability, extending the tool life and improving resistance to deformation during use.

At Xiluo Mold, we leverage our advanced manufacturing capabilities to produce high-quality header punches at scale. Our facility spans over 10,000 square meters and is equipped with 200+ skilled employees working with cutting-edge machinery. With the ability to produce 2,000 units per day, we can meet both high-volume orders and tight deadlines while maintaining consistent product quality. Our production efficiency is driven by state-of-the-art equipment, which allows us to deliver large quantities of precision-made header punches for various fastener applications.

Quality Control

Quality is at the heart of everything we do. To ensure that every header punch meets the highest industry standards, we implement a rigorous quality control system at every stage of the production process. From the initial design and material selection to the final inspection, we use advanced testing equipment to monitor and verify the precision, durability, and performance of each tool. Our quality control measures include:

Dimensional Inspections

Ensuring that all punches meet the specified size and tolerance requirements.

Hardness Testing

Verifying that the hardness of each punch meets the required standards for performance and longevity.

Material Integrity Checks

Ensuring that the materials used in the punches are of the highest quality and free from defects.

Final Product Testing

Before shipment, every header punch undergoes a final inspection to ensure it performs optimally in real-world applications.
