Automatic Corrector of Forming Operations on High Speed Forging Machines

Abstract

When forging rods with diameters larger than 200 mm, excessive wear of the anvils often occurs. Worn anvils then inaccurately measure the continuous dimensions of forged bars. In response, it has been proposed to develop a new aiming method, which should use a laser camera to determine the inter-operational dimensions of the forged bars, taking into account the wear of the anvils. This information would be used to correct the forging algorithm and thus to refine the final forging operations.
