FORGING PROCESSES Schuler offers the entire process development from a single source, including consulting and training services. To determine the best economic solution to produce quality parts, development of the forging process begins with part design, and must simultaneously consider material selection, process technology, production stages and die processes. The part design and process plan form the basis for calculating the economic efficiency in the project planning phase. This means that the decision to use a forging process has been decided. Furthermore, the process plan provides information...

Forging processes Full forward extrusion Backward extrusion Lateral extrusion Reduction is a forging process in Extrusion is a single or multi-station Ironing is carried out by pulling the which the workpiece is forced through production process for creating both workpiece through an ironing ring an opening in the die, fully or in part, hollow and solid bodies. The process with the help of a punch. The wall involving a reduction in its cross thickness of the hollow body is section. Tapering of solid bodies direction of material flow: forward, reduced in this process. results in a reduction in...

Forging processes Closed die forging is a forging process Upsetting and open die forging are Piercing is used for incorporating in which dies move towards each also forging procedures. Upsetting is holes and openings into a workpiece, other and cover the workpiece in principally used for preliminary which can have a wide range of whole or in part. The heated raw shapes and sizes. Trimming involves material, which is approximately the contrast to closed die forging, the removing surplus material (flash) shape or size of the final forged part, workpiece is not completely enclosed is placed in the...

Forging proceSSeS Forging proceSSeS ProceSS develoPmenT The object of developing the part design and process plan is to ensure that economical production can be achieved. it is necessary to consider the specific application and production situation. For example, if the production volumes are low, then the objective is to achieve a process with only a few forging stations, and to plan for more complex secondary machining. An effective part design and process plan relies on know-how and practical experience. During development of the process plan, the decision is made which forging process or which...

FORGING PROCESSES Die with inner punch and outer punch. DIE CONSTRUCTION . in practice, a critical part of die development is the configuration of the punches and dies. not only the punches and dies are accommodated in the die holder, but also the other die elements. Modern forging dies are configured for various stations. This means additional forging, calibration, punching or trimming procedures are possible in the same operation (using four- or five-station die sets commonly found in operation today). Special dies, such as closing dies, can also be used. This significantly reduces production...

Forging processes Forging processes Cooling device Die cooling and lubrication systems for warm and hot forging. DIE COOLING AND LUBRICATION. In warm and hot forging presses, effective cooling and lubrication systems are required. The shown solutions can provide optimum lubrication placement. In addition, the duration of the cooling and lubrication process can be optimized. This is an advantage compared to other systems such as linear manipulators, swivelling systems or systems that are mounted on transfer rails.

FORGING PROCESSES PART FEED AND TRANSPORT SEQUENCE ANALYSIS. In the analysis of part handling, the path of every motion axis (slide, ejector and transfer) is coordinated. The data acquired in the handling analysis, such as travel distance and movement start /end points can then be transferred directly into the machine control. THE OBJECTIVES OF THE PART FEED AND TRANSPORT SEQUENCE ANALYSIS ■ implementing a design with the maximum transport ■ Quick and safe die commissioning safety and max. output ■ increased stroke rate / output ■ collision-free transport of parts from station to station...
