A forging machine refers to a machine that uses methods such as hammering to make a metal material in a malleable state into a workpiece with a certain shape and size, and changes its physical properties.
The forging manipulator is an important equipment to realize the mechanization and automation of forging, which is mainly used to clamp forgings and cooperate with the forging host (press, forging hammer, etc.) to complete various complex free forging processes. The use of forging manipulators can reduce labor intensity, increase forging productivity, and improve product quality. At present, the forging manipulator has been widely used at home and abroad to realize the mechanization of forging, and the forging manipulator with advanced performance can also realize the linkage control with the forging host, so as to realize the automation of forging.
In order to meet the basic forging process requirements, the forging manipulator generally has the following 5 basic actions and 4 auxiliary actions. The five basic movements are: clamping/loosening, clamp rotation, parallel lifting of the clamp (or lifting of the front end of the clamp), tilting up and down of the clamp (or lifting of the rear end of the clamp), and walking of the car body. The four auxiliary actions are: left and right translation of the clamp frame, left and right side swing of the clamp frame, rotation of the bench, and telescopic clamp rod.
The left and right translation of the clamp frame body and the left and right side swing functions of the clamp frame body are mainly used in the full hydraulic four-link forging manipulator, and the forging manipulator with this function can make the eccentric forging relatively easy to place in the striking center of the forging equipment, and the flexibility of the forging operation is increased.
In the case of anvil split hammers, which are commonly used for free forging, this structural difference is further noticeable. In short, using a very heavy forging hammer end to work at high speed will produce strong impact vibration.
