Clutch-controlled screw presses are representatives of mechanical closed-die forging presses. The current NPS series operates with<br />
press forces of 4/5 MN to 25/40 MN. These presses produce bicycle blanks, rings, fl anges, axle stubs, housings, hand tools made of<br />
steel, aluminum, titanium as well as parts for medical technology.<br />
The clutch-controlled screw press has the highest energy potential of all mechanically driven forging presses. Therefore, this press type<br />
is especially well suited for forging extruded parts, axle stubs, and similar parts for which a high energy capacity is necessary.<br />
<strong>Siempelkamp</strong> has positioned itself as one of the world’s few highly experienced manufacturers of compacting presses. These presses<br />
have a press force of 90 MN and are used for the compacting of titanium sponge or chips. Compacted titanium sponge is the starting<br />
product for precision forgings used in the aerospace industry. The strict test criteria in the aerospace industry demand high product<br />
quality. Knowing how important quality is in the manufacturing process of titanium, corresponding orders for <strong>Siempelkamp</strong> com-<br />
pacting presses are our best reference!<br />
Compacting press for Ust-Kamenogorsk<br />
A <strong>Siempelkamp</strong> 2 x 90 MN compacting press for titanium sponge<br />
was installed at the Ust-Kamenogorsk Titanium & Magnesium<br />
Plant (UKTMP) in Kazakhstan in <strong>2009</strong>.<br />
The distinct feature of the new press is its double-sided action.<br />
Because it has a press capacity of 2 x 90 MN, it generates an<br />
extremely high specifi c forming pressure which so far is new for<br />
the compacting of titanium sponge in presses of this dimension.<br />
The resulting compacts have a high density and, consequently,<br />
are easier to process and lead to end products with a higher<br />
quality.<br />
The scope of supply contains the design, manufacture, delivery,<br />
the hydraulic system, a die change system with different press<br />
dies as well as the complete control system with visualization.<br />
Furthermore, the <strong>Siempelkamp</strong> team will perform several onsite<br />
services including the monitoring of the installation, the start-up<br />
and the calibrating of the entire press. The start-up of the press is<br />
scheduled for April 2010.<br />
