A hydraulic open die forging press is often used together with a forging manipulator when the workpiece is large, hot or difficult to handle manually. The manipulator clamps the billet and allows it to be moved, rotated and positioned during the forging process.
This combination is especially useful for large shafts, rings, discs, cylinders, bars, blocks and heavy industrial forgings. During open die forging, the workpiece may need many repeated forging passes. A manipulator helps the operator control the billet position and improves safety around the press.
The hydraulic forging press provides controlled forming force, while the forging manipulator supports movement and rotation. Together, they help improve production efficiency, workpiece positioning and repeatability.
A hydraulic open die forging press with manipulator can also be combined with a heating furnace, travelling worktable, charging equipment, hydraulic system and control system to form a complete open die forging line.
Choosing the right configuration depends on billet weight, workpiece length, required press capacity, material type, workshop layout and production target. The manipulator must be suitable for the size and weight of the workpiece, not only the press capacity.
Wiz Machinery can help customers source hydraulic open die forging press systems with suitable manipulator options. For heavy forging production, the right combination of press, manipulator and furnace can make the process safer, more efficient and more consistent.
