To help a Mexican client improve production efficiency while ensuring consistent product quality, HE-Machine developed a customised metal stamping production line for metal nails used in the construction industry. Following installation, debugging and trial runs, the system demonstrated strong performance in both efficiency and precision, meeting key production targets and establishing a solid foundation for full-scale operation.
The client required a solution capable of achieving a stamping frequency of 80 strokes per minute, while maintaining high levels of accuracy and reliability over extended operating periods. Consistent product quality and effective mould protection were also essential, particularly under high-speed conditions where heat and wear can impact performance.
HE-Machine, whose products are available in the UK from Raybould Machine Tools, addressed these challenges through a fully integrated and optimised production line. A double-head decoiler enables continuous operation by allowing material preparation on one head while the other is in use, significantly reducing downtime. A precision straightening system ensures material enters the dies in optimal condition, supporting consistent product quality, while an NC servo feeder provides accurate, automated material handling, incorporating safety features that prevent misfeeds and protect tooling.
At the core of the system, a high-performance pressing machine paired with a progressive mould delivers efficient, multi-stage processing within a single stroke, while an automated lubrication system helps manage temperature and extend tool life.
Initial feedback from the client has been highly positive, with praise for the line’s stability, automation and efficiency. Trial runs successfully achieved the target production speed, confirming the system’s capability to meet demanding operational requirements.
