Powerful, High-Precision Open-Die Forging Presses

Challenge

In the forging industry, high precision and productivity, perfect micro-structural material properties as well as flexible application, batch size and single piece production are required.

Conditions

• Open-die forging presses are capable of generating forces of well over 200 MN
• High production speeds with tight forging tolerances are required.

Scope

Reliable hydraulics for maintaining tight forging tolerances at high stroke rates and forging forces

Solution

• Setup of a comprehensive simulation model of the press with pressure supply
• Inclusion of the tank line to check the system for water hammer and cavitation effects
• If required, the model can be extended with a multi-body model of the mechanics of the press for co-simulation via FMI standard
