Rotary forging press
350 ton rotary forging press for forging aluminum wheel blanks with a diameter of up to 36 inches.
The warmed up aluminum billets are formed to a plate or a cup. Due to the upper spindle, which is positioned at a small angle, the forming force always only acts on a partial surface of the workpiece.
Due to the smaller contact surface, the forming force required is much lower than in conventional forging.
Customer benefits with a rotary forge compared to a conventional hydraulic press
- Results comparable to a 4,000 t hydraulic press with the 350 t RFP
- Reduced production costs
- Reduced tool change costs
- Shorter tool change
- Reduced energy consumption
- Reduced maintenance effort
