In a nail-making machine, the header punch is an essential component used
to form the head of the nail. Here’s how it works.
Function:
The header punch shapes the top (head) of the nail. It creates a flat or round head, depending on the nail design. The punch is driven into the wire, usually after it’s been cut to the correct length, and it forms the nail’s head Header Punch
Process:
The machine typically uses a mechanical or hydraulic press to drive the header punch into the end of the wire. As the punch pushes down, it deforms the wire to create the desired head shape.
Design Variations:
The shape and size of the header punch it’s a depending on the type of nail being produced (e.g., round head, flat head, etc.)
