Tooling for Wheel Spoke Manufacturing

Light weight, high strength and an attractive appearance have become the basic requirements for choosing passenger car wheels. High strength plates are also become popular materials for steel wheels. In order to accommodate fast and large scale production of automatic and efficient wheel disc production lines, manufacturers have higher requirements for the standardized production and the service life of the dies.

As a Chinese specialist designer and manufacturer of wheel production tooling, LittleDuck has developed tools and dies for high strength plate wheel spokes and disc manufacturing that are suitable for automatic wheel spoke stamping lines. According to the production process, there are 7 sets of dies in a complete wheel spoke profiling, punching and reshaping process. The specific dies are shown as follows.

To meet the requirements of traditional wheel disc production lines for standalone operation, we conduct specific process design and die structure design. Generally, traditional wheel disc production is carried out in 9 processes: blanking-punching, initial drawing, profiling, trimming and punching, flanging, screw hole punching, screw hole deburring, air hole punching, and air hole deburring. Each process uses a specific die, some of which are listed below.
