Dies/Die Materials

Complex designs, high-strength steel BMW, Audi, Hella Producing innovative impressions One injection mold Melting and refining Heat treatment Lights, motors, action Rapid response and high accuracy

Additive manufacturing for die repair Void closure in large open-die forgings IR thermometer/pyrometer usage Warm forging process variables

Easy to apply, dries in air Dries in air, requires no curing step High lubricity, extends life of moving parts

Each die connected to a standard manifold Disconnect manifold, remove/replace die

Freely programmable PLC monitors robot and controller Two-channel axis positioning Operator can enter the work cell any time without danger

Specially designed for high-temperature applications, like forging die exchange

Researchers seek an industrial-scale, three-stage process for precision parts, with the efficiency and finish-product quality of flashless forging.

Longitudinal axis symmetrical pre-forms Three types of defects EC funds research Process monitoring

The only exhibition+conference to focus exclusively on the forging industry is set for April in Cincinnati, and dozens of exhibitors are ready for the event.
