Open Die Forging

Macrodyne Open Die Forging Presses

Macrodyne open die forging presses are built to accurately shape a wide range of materials into the desired configuration using relatively simple tools and flat dies, resulting in lower production costs and higher mechanical properties for the forged parts. Our rigid press structure, combined with accurate guiding arrangements and a large pressing area, provides high forging accuracy for any open die application.

Our presses equipped with advanced control systems give enhanced control over the formation of the forged metal workpieces and deliver better design versatility. Our presses can handle the ever-increasing product diversity and energy-efficient manufacturing through programmed controls integration.

Adaptable and High-Performance Presses for Open Die Forging Applications

Macrodyne hydraulic open die forging presses feature heavy, rigid press frames with deep, heavy fabricated slides with high guide ratios. The high guide ratio feature results in precision guiding, parallel slide motion, and eccentric load capacity.

Our presses offer systematized coordination between the plant design and other related systems like press manipulators to give productivity and repeatability.

Part Temperature Control Packages ensure billet temperatures are within the specified range required by the specific application. These packages are also typically provided with billet temperature reject chutes to accommodate the automatic removal of billets that do not meet process requirements.

They are also available with a wide range of features including:

  • Programmable pressing and stripping speed,
  • Programmable pressing and stripping tonnage,
  • Ram position control and monitoring via position transducer
  • Fully programmable Accumulator Drive for ultra-high pressing speeds
  • Closed loop motion control
  • independent punch wedge adjustment setting
  • Vibration dampers, etc.

 

Our hydraulic presses are idle for the following Open Die forging applications:

  • Upsetting
  • Cogging
  • Ring blank forging
  • Drawing/solid forging
  • Piercing
