Upset Forging Machine
Upset forging machine manufacturer providing automatic metal upsetting solutions for bolts, fasteners, shafts, rods, and precision forged components.
Product Description
The Upset Forging Machine is a specialized metal forming machine designed to increase the diameter of a metal workpiece by applying compressive force along its axis. This cold forging or hot forging process creates strong, high-quality components with improved mechanical properties and excellent dimensional accuracy.
Also known as an upsetting machine or upset forging equipment, it is widely used for manufacturing bolts, fasteners, automotive parts, aerospace components, electrical fittings, and industrial metal products.
Compared with traditional machining processes, upset forging reduces material waste, improves production efficiency, and enhances the strength of finished components through grain flow optimization.
As a professional upset forging machine manufacturer, we provide customized forging solutions based on material type, component size, production capacity, and automation requirements.

Working Principle
The upset forging machine forms metal components by applying compressive force to shorten the material length and increase its diameter.
Step 1: Material Feeding
Metal rods or wires are automatically fed into the forging station.
The feeding system ensures accurate positioning before forming.
Step 2: Material Clamping
The workpiece is securely held by the die system to prevent movement during the upsetting process.
Step 3: Upsetting Process
The punch applies axial compression force to the material.
The metal flows outward, increasing the diameter of the selected area and forming the required shape.
Step 4: Finished Part Output
After forging, the formed component is automatically discharged for further processes, such as:
- Heat treatment
- Threading
- Machining
- Surface treatment
- Inspection
