Mechanical equipment used for forming and separating in forging processing.
Forging equipment is mechanical equipment used for forming and separating in metal forging processing, also known as metal forming machine tools, and is mainly applied in the field of metal plastic processing .
. Its development began with the hydraulic drop hammer in the 14th century, went through stages such as steam hammer and hydraulic press, and formed an electric drive system by the end of the 19th century. After the 1960s, it gradually evolved towards high speed, automation and precision.
This equipment deforms metals by applying pressure and can be divided into two major categories: linear reciprocating motion type (forging hammers, mechanical presses, hydraulic presses, etc.) and relative rotary motion type (rotary roller shaft forging equipment), and is equipped with auxiliary devices such as forging manipulators and shears .
. Modern equipment adopts computer control technology and can be linked with mechanical arms and manipulators to build automated production lines. Typical models include 750,000 kn die forging hydraulic presses and high-speed cold heading machines, etc.
. The technical features emphasize a heavy-duty body structure, high-precision pressure control and safety protection system. The applicable materials cover carbon steel, alloy steel and non-ferrous metals.
Forging equipment is mainly used for metal forming, so it is also called metal forming machine tools. Forging equipment shapes metals by applying pressure to them. High force is its fundamental feature, so it is mostly heavy-duty equipment. Safety protection devices are often installed on the equipment to ensure the safety of the equipment and personnel.
There are many types of forging equipment. According to the different operation modes of the working parts, forging equipment can be divided into two major categories: linear reciprocating motion and relative rotary motion.
