Purpose:
The forging device enables cold forging and work with additional equipment in fully automatic mode. The blanks are placed manually on the loading table on the head side, from where, with the help of a robot arm, they are picked up and inserted into the forging axis. The forging piece is secured between the steady rest and the head holder. The clamping force is programmed according to the requirements of the forging process. The forging hammers and workpiece are cooled by coolant (water with anti-corrosion additive) during the forging operation, which eliminates unintentional heating of the component. The pre-forging is forged according to a pre-selected program. Once the forging is complete, the workpiece returns to the unloading position with the help of a robot.
