Hardware and software configuration of forging die for construction machinery

The development of construction machinery cannot be separated from high-quality parts manufacturing, and construction machinery forging die is the key to achieve this goal. It is through the combination of mold hardware and software configuration, to complete the accurate processing and forming of construction machinery forgings. This paper will introduce the hardware and software configuration of the forging die of construction machinery in detail.

First, mold hardware configuration

1. Basic parts: The basic parts of the construction machinery forging die include the die base, the upper and lower template, the guide post and the jacking rod. These parts bear the basic support and positioning functions of the mold, and high-quality materials and precision machining should be selected to ensure the stability and accuracy of the mold.
2. Mold material: The material selection of the mold directly affects the life and processing quality of the mold. In order to improve the wear resistance and strength of the mold, high-quality alloy steel is usually used as the mold material, such as CR12MOV, H13 and so on. At the same time, according to the characteristics and processing requirements of construction machinery forgings, other special materials can also be selected for mold production.
3. Cavity structure: The design of cavity structure should be reasonably optimized according to the shape and processing needs of construction machinery forgings. Reasonable cavity structure can improve the smooth opening and closing of the mold and the forming accuracy, and reduce the production of product defects.
4. Adjustable parts: In order to adapt to various construction machinery forgings of different sizes, the mold usually needs to be configured with adjustable parts, such as adjustable guide posts, adjustable ejector rods, etc. These adjustable parts can be adjusted as needed to ensure that the mold can meet the size and accuracy requirements during processing.
5. Cooling system: Efficient cooling system is one of the necessary configurations of construction machinery forging die. Through the cooling system, the temperature of the mold can be reduced to a suitable range, improving production efficiency and product quality. The cooling system is usually composed of the water system and the air system, and the clear and reasonable pipeline layout and the selection of the appropriate cooling medium can effectively control the temperature of the mold.

Second, mold software configuration

1. 3D modeling software: In order to achieve the accurate design and modeling of construction machinery forging die, commonly used 3D modeling software such as SolidWorks, Creo, etc., is widely used. These software provide a wealth of modeling tools and functions that can help designers accurately create 3D models of molds, providing a basis for subsequent process planning and machining.
2. Finite element analysis software: The strength and stiffness of construction machinery forging dies are essential for their normal operation. Finite element analysis software such as ANSYS, ABAQUS, etc., can simulate the structure of the mold, accurately predict the stress and deformation of the mold in the actual work, and optimize and improve the structure of the mold through the analysis results.
3. CNC programming software: In order to realize the CNC machining of the forging die of construction machinery, CNC programming software is an essential tool. The commonly used CNC programming software such as Mastercam, PowerMill, etc., can generate CNC machining program according to the three-dimensional model of the mold, and realize the high-precision machining of the mold.
4. Mold flow path analysis software: For construction machinery forgings that need injection molding, mold flow path analysis software plays an important role. This kind of software, such as Moldflow, AutoCAST, etc., can simulate the material flow and possible defects in the mold injection process, and optimize and improve the mold structure according to the simulation results to ensure the quality of the final product.

In summary, the mold hardware and software configuration of construction machinery forging die is a very important part. Through reasonable configuration of mold hardware and the use of suitable mold software, we can efficiently manufacture high-quality construction machinery parts to meet the development needs of the construction machinery industry. Continuous technological innovation and optimal configuration will further promote the development and upgrading of construction machinery forging dies.
