Fast, precise, and productive
Hitachi Metals operates the largest four-column open-die forging press in push-down design.
SMS group have designed and built an open-die forging press that fully meets the high customer demands in respect of forging temperature-sensitive materials , such as titanium alloys, tool steels, high speed steels, and nickel-based alloys.
The press features:
- Up to 90 MN forging force and 108 MN upsetting force
- Highly efficient, space-saving hydraulic system concept
- High-speed forging is possible thanks to the 18 installed high-performance hydraulic pumps
- ForgeBase® control software for optimized, reproducible forging results
- Vibration-isolating foundation, in order to minimize the vibrations emitted into the ground
The three-dimensional laser measuring system measures the surface temperature and the geometry of the forging in real time, and optimizes the pass schedule for homogeneous forging of the core zone.
