Metal forging is a very old manual manufacturing technology. In the traditional manual manufacturing process, the metal material is placed on the mold according to the desired shape and size, and then hammered to form. With the development of mechanization, informatization and digitalization, metal forging manufacturing has begun to embark on the road of modern production.
Mechanized manufacturing: With the development of science and technology, many modern equipment has been applied in the manufacturing of metal forgings. Forming machine, the use of pressure machine tools in the engine crankshaft, camshaft and other parts of large capacity production of good products to achieve advantages. At the same time, the hydraulic forming machine, air hammer and hammer forming machine and other models have gradually appeared, so that the efficiency of metal forging manufacturing has been improved.
Intelligent manufacturing: Automatic control system has been widely used in the manufacturing process of metal forgings. Intelligent process route control, quality inspection and robot application, improve production efficiency and quality, and create a huge market competitive advantage for enterprises. Among them, CNC machine tools play an increasingly important role in the manufacturing of metal forgings, which can not only improve production efficiency, but also ensure the accuracy and quality of products and shorten the manufacturing cycle.
Digital manufacturing: The use of industrial Internet technology to digitize all aspects of the metal forging manufacturing line. This enables a significant reduction in manual operations, resulting in increased production line efficiency, reduced costs, and improved visibility and real-time production data. At the same time, through data analysis, the production process and quality management can be optimized.
Green manufacturing: With the improvement of global awareness of environmental protection, more and more hardware forgings manufacturing enterprises began to pay attention to green manufacturing. For example, instead of traditional oil heat treatment and other environmental pollution processes, the use of “one machine dual-purpose” multi-functional forging equipment, to achieve “one molding” to reduce the number of processing measures, are in order to reduce environmental pollution from the source.
In general, the road to modernization of hardware forgings manufacturing is composed of mechanized manufacturing, intelligent manufacturing, data manufacturing and green manufacturing, which together have brought great changes and progress for hardware forgings manufacturing.
