The present invention discloses a swaging die holder for the flexible shaft operations. In the preferred embodiment, the swaging die holder comprises of an elliptical die holder slot, a stress relief slot, a radius curve, a recess and an insert. The die holder slot at top of the die holder allows each die holder to mount to the machine. The insert is adapted through the recess at the bottom of each die holder and designed to produce the different output profiles at the end of the flexible shaft. The insert is made of HSS material with cobalt content to achieve optimal life. The insert is further re-grinded or re-sharpened for same or other profile applications of the flexible shaft.

1. A swaging die holder comprises: a. at-least one die holder slot (102a, 102b, 102c and 102d) at a top of the die holder (101a, 101b, 101c and 101d), wherein the die holder slot (102a, 102b, 102c and 102d) allows the die holder (101a, 101b, 101c and 101d) to mount to a machine;b. a stress relief sl
1. A swaging die holder comprises: a. at-least one die holder slot (102a, 102b, 102c and 102d) at a top of the die holder (101a, 101b, 101c and 101d), wherein the die holder slot (102a, 102b, 102c and 102d) allows the die holder (101a, 101b, 101c and 101d) to mount to a machine;b. a stress relief slot (103) on the top of the die holder (101a, 101b, 101c and 101d) on the periphery therein, wherein the stress relief slot (103) uniformly distributes a stress concentration and thereby reducing a chance of a die holder (101a, 101b, 101c and 101d) breakage due to an impact forces, during a swaging operations;c. a radius curve (104) at a corner of the die holder (101a, 101b, 101c and 101d) avoids a clashing between the die holders (101a, 101b, 101c and 101d) in a closed condition, during a sliding operation of a flexible shaft;d. a recess (105) extended longitudinally throughout at a bottom of the die holder (101a, 101b, 101c and 101d); ande. an insert (106), wherein the insert (106) is inserted through the recess (105) at a bottom of each die holder (101a, 101b, 101c and 101d), wherein the insert (105) at the bottom is designed to produce one or more output shapes at an end of a flexible shaft (107). 2. The swaging die holder as claimed in claim 1, wherein the die holder slot (102) at the top of each die holder (101a, 101b, 101c and 101d) is an elliptical shape. 3. The swaging die holder as claimed in claim 1, wherein the insert (106) is made of a High-Speed Steel (HSS) material with a cobalt content to increase the lifespan therein. 4. The swaging die holder as claimed in claim 1, wherein the insert (106) is further increased in length than an actual required length to avoid a clashing at edges and corners due to stress concentration at the end of the flexible shafts. 5. The swaging die holder as claimed in claim 1, wherein the insert (106) is further re-grinded or re-sharpened for same or other profile applications of a flexible shaft. 6. The swaging die holder as claimed in claim 1, wherein the insert (106) at the bottom is designed to one or more shapes and sizes as per a user(s) requirement. 7. The swaging die holder as claimed in claim 1, wherein the die holders (101a, 101b, 101c and 101d) are treated with a cryogenic or heat or sub-zero temperature to avoid distortion in shape or profile at an end of a flexible shaft, during an operating condition. 8. The swaging die holder as claimed in claim 1, wherein a die holder (101a, 101b, 101c and 101d) is varied in numbers depending on a required shape and size at the end of flexible shaft. 9. The swaging die holder as claimed in claim 1, wherein the swaging die holder further comprises of at-least one packing slip, wherein the packing slip (108) is placed in between the recess (105) and the insert (106), wherein the packing slip (108) is placed when an insert (106) face is worn out, during a swaging operation of a flexible shaft. 10. The swaging die holder as claimed in claim 1, wherein the recess (105) is in a shape of dove tail (105a) to accommodate the insert (106).
