Forging automation uses technology and machinery to automate the process of forging metal parts. This involves using PLC-controlled equipment to move the Billets/parts from the bulk loading to the machine. The billets then move to the Die, and the punch is fixed press. The press can be a Hydraulic or a Mechanical press. The form required of metal components into the desired shape or design will be in the Die.
Forging automation aims to increase efficiency by moving the billets automatically into the machine with a consistent working process. It reduces workforce costs, improves product quality and consistency, and enhances safety in the forging process.
Automation includes the robotics arm and programmable logic controllers (PLCs), pneumatic and Servo systems, and other advanced technologies.
