Nail Industry

Common nails are the most commonly used type of steel nails. These nails have a thicker and larger shank than that of the box nails. In addition, common steel nails are also shown as a wide head, a smooth shank and a diamond-shaped point. Workers like to use common nails for framing, carpentry, wood structural panel shear walls and other general indoor construction projects.

Nails are widely used in:

-Wood construction.

-Cabinet work.

-Furniture finishing.

-Bamboo device.

-Ordinary plastic.

-Wall moulding.

-Packaging boxes.

Nails are mostly made by moulds called Nail Gripper Dies.

UKO Nail dies welded by steel and tungsten carbide working parts, precisely machined as to drawing for wire nail manufacturer in producing various nails

The wire is fed into the nail making machine. The wire is gripped by a pair of gripper dies. While the gripper dies hold the wire in place, the free end of the wire is struck by a mechanical hammer, which forms the head of the nail.

A set of shaped cutters strike the other end of the wire. This cutter forms the point of the nail and at the same time cut the nail from the rest of the wire. The gripper dies release and feed the wire forward for the next nail. The formed nails are then collected in bins.

Heading dies or puncher with steel body and tungsten carbide working area, to make flat, lense, oval, special head of nails.

Making nails from copper, stainless steel, aluminum, iron, zinc and many more.
