What is Cold heading of hex nuts + CNC tapping?

Cold heading of hex nuts + CNC tapping capability for titanium components

Precision machining capability for Cold heading of hex nuts + CNC tapping, utilizing multi-axis CNC centers with in-process inspection and SPC quality control.

Engineering Parameters & Capabilities

5-axis CNC milling centers provide simultaneous multi-axis interpolation for complex titanium components. The ability to tilt the tool relative to the workpiece surface maintains optimal chip load and extends tool life, critical for difficult-to-machine titanium alloys, specifically for pin. Precision pin for Fastener, Medical present unique challenges: Cylindrical OD tolerance ±0.005 mm with chamfer/radius control. Tight straightness (< 0.02 mm over 50 mm) for press-fit applications.

Parameter	Primary Method	Alternative Method
Kinematics	Full 5-axis simultaneous interpolation	3+2 positional indexing
Surface Finish	Ra 0.8 µm standard; Ra 0.2 µm with finishing pass	Ra 1.6–6.3 µm
Tool Access	Unrestricted — tool can approach from any angle	Limited — each setup indexes the part

Engineering Capabilities & Limits

Precision machining capability for Cold heading of hex nuts + CNC tapping, utilizing multi-axis CNC centers with in-process inspection and SPC quality control.

Hole Types Supported

Coolant passages Threaded holes at compound angles Counterbored fastener holes

Heat Control Measures

High-pressure coolant-through-spindle (50–70 bar) with coated carbide tooling. Adaptive trochoidal milling paths reduce radial engagement to control heat generation.

Flatness & Stress Relief

Stress-relieved raw material and sequenced roughing/finishing passes. Heat-sink fixturing for thin-wall sections minimizes thermal distortion.

Tolerance

±0.01 mm (positional) / ±0.02 mm (contour)
