How Does a Nail Making Machine Work? Step-by-Step with Z94 Model
In nail manufacturing, nail making machines do most of the work — but how exactly do they take steel wire into finished nails? This article takes you inside the working principle of a nail manufacturing machine, using the widely used Z94 nail making machine as an example in the nail production process.
How a Nail Making Machine Makes Nails?
Here is the working process of a Z94 wire nail machine:
- Wire Feeding and Straightening
Drawn steel wire is fed into the machine and straightened by bearing rollers. - Wire Feeding and Gripping
The rotating flywheel pushes the steel wire forward into the die area. Once a certain length of wire extends beyond the die, the nail mould firmly grips the wire. - Nail Head Forming (Punching)
The punch bar strikes the wire end to form the nail head when the wire is clamped by nail moulds.
Different punches can be used to create flat, round, or other head shapes. - Wire Cutting and Nail Point Shaping
Controlled by the cam mechanism, the cutter cuts the wire to the required nail length, while simultaneously forming the nail point at the opposite end — usually a diamond point. - Nail Ejection
The finished nail is ejected and falls into the collection box. The machine then continues with the next cycle.
📌 Note: This process applies specifically to Z94 nail machines. Other models, such as Enkotec rotary automatic nail machines, use different mechanisms but follow a similar nail manufacturing process.
