The second factor is clamping range. The manipulator jaw must suit the billet diameter, shaft size or forged part shape. V-shaped jaws are common for round billets, while custom jaws may be needed for special workpieces.
The third factor is the main forging machine. Clamp height, track gauge and manipulator layout should match the open die forging press or hammer.
The fourth factor is automation. Some plants need manual or semi-automatic operation, while others require CNC control and integration with a forging line.
Wiz Machinery can review your billet size, forging process and layout to recommend a suitable WM CNC forging manipulator.
