The future development trend of forging equipment

• Servo digitization and intelligence

CNC forging machinery has expanded from the initial rotary head press and plate folding machine to other categories and groups of forging machinery, such as CNC sheet metal linear shear machine, CNC laser cutting, plasma and flame cutting machine, CNC sheet metal bending machine, CNC profile bending machine, CNC sheet metal folding machine, CNC ring rolling machine, CNC hydraulic press, CNC screw press and so on. Ac servo motor has been widely used in forging equipment, speeding up the servo digitization of forging equipment, and promoting its further development to the direction of intelligence.

• Custom and personalization

Due to the pressure of resources and environment, the market competition of traditional universal forging equipment will become more and more fierce. As a manufacturer of forging equipment, it is urgent to upgrade and transform products. Forging equipment is developing from the current general type to the non-standard equipment for lightweight, high strength, corrosion resistance, high temperature resistance, low plasticity of new materials, new processes and special shape structure products.

• High performance and precision

The development of large aircraft, a new generation of warplanes, high thrust-to-weight ratio engines, large launch vehicles, long-life satellites and energy-saving automobiles requires the use of lightweight, high-strength and deformable materials with high specific strength, high temperature resistance and high specific die, which put forward extremely high requirements for the internal microstructure and mechanical properties of the workpiece after plastic deformation. The corresponding need for high performance forging equipment to meet its demanding workpiece performance requirements; On the other hand, lightweight structural workpieces with complex surfaces, thin walls, hollow variable cross sections, integral parts and ribbons have very high shape and dimensional accuracy requirements after plastic processing of forging equipment, and often require the realization of subsequent less and no chip processing. This requires forging equipment from the traditional "silly black rough" blank processing, to the production of high-performance and precision parts.

• networked

Global broadband, cloud computing, and cloud storage provide innovative technology drivers and a new physical environment for the evolution of manufacturing civilization. At present, it has changed from the post-industrial era focusing on single machine simple digital manufacturing to relying on big data, cloud service collaboration, sharing and sharing network collaboration operation services. The comprehensive cross-penetration of modern industry, industrial products and services, with the help of software, through the Internet and other networks to achieve the networking of products and services, new products and services will accompany this change. Software is no longer just written to control or execute specific work procedures, nor is it just written to be embedded in products and production systems. Traditional mechatronics refers to the organic integration of mechanical parts with electronics, and embedded software, and wireless networks make new product functions and features possible, and these new things are not included in the traditional definition of mechatronics. Miniaturization of electronic devices and leaps in the performance of computers and storage media have made today's small size and wireless capabilities possible. The Internet offers a new way of connecting individuals. Network intelligent manufacturing is the future of Chinese manufacturing, which is the product of highly integrated information network and manufacturing technology. The local area network production management, automatic control, remote fault diagnosis and maintenance service of forging equipment are inevitable trends.

• High speed

With the rapid development of industry, the demand for high-speed mechanical presses and fast forging hydraulic presses is increasing day by day, and the high-speed and even ultra-high-speed forging equipment has put forward harsh requirements for the machine itself and peripheral equipment: The moving parts have a reasonable structure, light weight, the frame needs to have excellent rigidity, the moving parts need to achieve the best balance, the high-speed stamping movement inertia, the impact of temperature changes on the accuracy, the moving parts wear resistance, the bearing texture must be excellent, the guiding system must be accurate, the mold needs to have a high life, the feeding device must be high precision, fast speed, reliable performance, It is necessary to solve the problem of high speed stamping vibration and reduce the influence of vibration on accuracy. Large and medium-sized fast forging hydraulic press in the automotive and aerospace fields more and more widely used, which large size servo motor, high pressure large displacement pump, valve and its hydraulic transmission mode and control system and other problems need to be solved.
