Abstract
Today’s forging industry is subjected to an ever increasing pressure to manufacture complex net shape parts at minimum unit costs. One way of meeting this challenge is to combine a precision forging with a subsequent calibrating process. The Institute for Metal Forming and Metal Forming Machine Tools (IFUM) has developed an innovative tooling concept for calibrating processes which helps to raise the dimensional quality of the finished parts up to IT class 6 and to improve its surface quality as well as the process reliability. Moreover, IFUM has made initial investigations on applying this concept - named active deflection compensation - directly in precision forging processes with the aim of achieving further advances in accuracy.
