Auxiliary Equipment (Support Machines)

Auxiliary Equipment (Support Machines)

While high-speed or traditional nail making machines produce nails, support machines ensure the final product quality, efficiency, and precision. Each auxiliary machine plays a vital role in making nails ready for industrial or commercial use.

🔹 1. Polishing Machine

  • Purpose: Smooths and polishes the nail surface after cutting, removing burrs and sharp edges.
  • Benefits:
    • Improves appearance and finish of nails
    • Reduces risk of corrosion
    • Prepares nails for coating or packaging
  • Application: Works for all nail sizes; commonly used in medium to large factories.

🔹 2. Nail Cutter Grinder

  • Purpose: Sharpens or reshapes cutting tools and molds in the nail making machine.
  • Benefits:
    • Ensures consistent cutting accuracy
    • Extends the lifespan of cutting tools
    • Maintains consistent nail length and head shape
  • Application: Regular maintenance tool for any production line.

🔹 3. Wire Reel (Wire Coil)

  • Purpose: Feeds raw steel wire into the nail making machine.
  • Benefits:
    • Provides a steady supply of wire for continuous production
    • Reduces downtime caused by manual feeding
  • Application: Compatible with Z94 and high-speed rotary machines; comes in various diameters depending on nail size.

🔹 4. Nail Molds (Die)

  • Purpose: Shapes the nail head and point within the nail making machine.
  • Benefits:
    • Ensures uniform nail head and tip
    • Can be swapped for different nail sizes and types
  • Application: Critical for achieving precision in both traditional and high-speed machines.

🔹 5. Nail Knife (Cutting Blade)

  • Purpose: Cuts wire to the desired nail length in the production cycle.
  • Benefits:
    • Ensures nails are uniform in length
    • Reduces wastage due to off-spec nails
  • Application: Works alongside rotary or plunger systems; replaceable for different nail sizes.

🔹 6. Pin Punch

  • Purpose: Punches the center point of nails or other alignment holes in special nail types.
  • Benefits:
    • Improves nail head quality and alignment
    • Supports production of specialty nails like pins, staples, or collated nails
  • Application: Optional, used in factories producing high-precision or specialty nails.

🔹 Why Auxiliary Machines Matter

  • Improve overall nail quality (smooth, sharp, consistent).
  • Increase efficiency by reducing downtime and manual labor.
  • Enable flexibility to produce different nail types and sizes.
  • Extend main machine life by maintaining tools and molds properly.
