7. - usually done in special high-speed machines called crank presses
- The initial workpiece is usually wire or rod but some machines can
accept bars up to 25 cm (9.8 in) in diameter and a capacity of over
1000 tons.
- standard upsetting machine employs split dies that contain multiple
cavities

8. Process
• The dies open enough to allow the work piece to move from one
cavity to the next.
• the dies then close and the heading tool, or ram, then moves
longitudinally against the bar, upsetting it into the cavity
• If all of the cavities are utilized on every cycle, then a finished part will
be produced with every cycle, which makes this process
advantageous for mass production.
