Advanced Cold Forging Die Sets & Tooling Solutions | KONFU

KONFU Enterprise offers a groundbreaking tooling solution with custom-designed die sets for 5 Die 5 Blow Formers. This innovative system enables direct cold forging of complex workpieces, completely eliminating the need for secondary lathe modifications. By streamlining the manufacturing process, our clients significantly reduce raw material costs and labor hours, gaining a powerful competitive edge in the market. This solution is ideal for manufacturers in the automotive, electronics, and construction industries seeking to optimize production and enhance efficiency with high-quality fastener forming tools.


Revolutionizing Component Manufacturing with Advanced Cold Forging Tooling

In the competitive landscape of industrial manufacturing, efficiency and cost-effectiveness are paramount. Traditionally, producing complex workpieces often required multiple steps, including initial forming followed by secondary modifications on a lathe machine. This multi-stage process not only consumes significant man-hours but also results in substantial material waste, driving up production costs. As a leading supplier of fastener forming tools, KONFU Enterprise addresses these challenges head-on with innovative solutions.

Pursuing Better Solutions — Beyond Standard Specifications

KONFU doesn't only meet specifications; we challenge for the better. We provide expert-level metal solutions that go beyond standard specs and seek the best outcome for your project. The following case studies illustrate how our engineering team redesigns parts and tooling to extract real cost, lifetime and stability gains for our customers.

Case Study A — Tooling Redesign: From One-Piece Die to Replaceable Die Core

BeforeAfter (KONFU's Proposal)
One-piece design with limited life time. Whole-set exchange keeps the production cost high.Redesigned die structure with a replaceable die core system, so only the worn core is exchanged instead of the full assembly.

Result & Impact:

  • Tool life increased 2x or more.
  • Replacement cost significantly reduced.
  • Improved overall production stability.

Case Study B — Process Redesign: From Press Process to 6-Die 6-Blow Progressive Forming

BeforeAfter (KONFU's Proposal)
Originally produced with a press process. Frequent scrap during production and costly waste-handling.Redesigned with a 6-Die, 6-Blow progressive cold forming sequence on a multi-station bolt former.

Result & Impact: Material usage and overall cost reduced thanks to near-net-shape progressive forming.

Case Study C — KONFU's Custom Die Set Solution for 5 Die 5 Blow Formers

KONFU has developed a state-of-the-art tooling solution specifically for 5 Die 5 Blow Formers. Through our expert custom die design, workpieces can be directly formed to their final shape via cold forging. This breakthrough eliminates the need for subsequent lathe work, drastically reducing material scrap and saving invaluable production time. By integrating our precision-engineered die sets, our clients can establish a more streamlined, cost-effective manufacturing line, thereby solidifying their competitiveness in the global market.

Components of Our Precision 5 Die 5 Blow Forming Tooling

Our comprehensive tooling solution consists of multiple, meticulously crafted punch and main die sets, each playing a critical role in the multi-stage forming process. Each component is manufactured from high-quality materials like premium carbide to ensure durability, precision, and extended tool life.

  • 1st Punch Set: The initial stage punch set designed for precise material gathering and preliminary shaping.
  • 2nd Punch Set: Continues the shaping process, refining the workpiece geometry with high precision.
  • 3rd Punch Set: Further defines the component's features, preparing it for the final forming stages.
  • 4th Punch Set: A critical step for creating complex details and ensuring dimensional accuracy.
  • 5th Punch Set: The final punch set that completes the forming process, delivering a near-net-shape part.
  • 1st Main Die Set: The foundational die that holds the workpiece during the initial forming blows.
  • 2nd Main Die Set: Works in conjunction with the punch sets to progressively shape the material.
  • 3rd Main Die Set: A precision-engineered die for intermediate forming stages.
  • 4th Main Die Set: Continues to refine the workpiece, ensuring it meets strict tolerance requirements.
  • 5th Main Die Set: The final die set that ensures the finished part meets all specifications before ejection.
