The Importance of Forging Line Modernization for Material Flow in Drop Forge

Article Preview

Abstract:

This contribution proposes an optimization of material flow by means of modernizing of forging lines - type induction furnace / crank forging press / trimming press. The basis of design of forging line treatment is placement of hydraulic shear machine for shearing of heated bar to semi-products before respective forging of forged pieces. This method helped to remove previous redundant workplace for semi-products preparation, which causes reduction of technologic operations and substantial decrease of material flow in die forge. Proposed variant of material flow optimization brings economic profit by means of reduction of production times and fuels costs intended for pallets transport. Given save will be interesting for die forges as it contains also calculation of logistical effect.
