A swaging machine, also known as a swager, is a specialized tool used in the metalworking industry to form a reduction or to taper in a piece of metal, such as a rod, tube, or wire. This process, known as swaging, involves using dies that hammer or press the metal into a desired shape. Swaging machines, manufactured by HOREN Industrial Co. Ltd., can be either rotary or radial in their action, depending on the specific application and the complexity of the shape required.

Straightening machines correct deformities in metal bars, tubes, and various profiles, resulting in materials that are perfectly aligned and ready for application in construction, automotive manufacturing, aerospace engineering, and more. These machines employ various methods to achieve desired outcomes, ranging from roller straightening to press straightening, each suitable for different types of materials and degrees of precision.

In the realm of metal forming and manufacturing, two primary processes stand out for shaping materials into desired forms: cold drawing and hot working. Both methods offer unique advantages and serve different purposes in the industry. Horen Co. Ltd., a renowned cold drawing machine manufacturer in Taiwan, delves into these techniques to help manufacturers understand their applications and make informed choices. This article compares cold drawing and hot working, highlighting their applications and providing a guide on how to choose between them.
