Forging presses: the master class
Presses for the forging industry are part of a special class and have to carry
out individual tasks. From its start-up, such a master class press has to operate
effi ciently and precisely for many decades. We meet this challenge with our broad
range of experience and a good sense for optimizations where such are needed –
in process as well as plant engineering.
Among our solid forging presses, open-die forging presses play an important
role. These presses stand for reliable operation, high repeat accuracy and ease of
service. With press forces ranging from 10 to 160 MN, this type of press produces
bars, disks, fl anges, shafts and all types of specifi c open-die forgings made of steel,
high-alloy steel, nickel-based alloys, titanium, and aluminum.
titanium alloys as preliminary products for subsequent processes.
With the press, Fushun is increasing its forging capacity to 30,000 t
(33,069 US tons) per year. For the collection of press data during
production Siempelkamp is using, for the fi rst time, the software
Prod-IQ Metal Forming which was specially developed for the
company’s metal forming division.
