Forging processes
DREHER Automation is reliable partner for massive forming and solutions for extreme conditions and the toughest requirements, providing a flexible and fast solution concept for the demand-driven feeding of the blanks from the furnace to the forming press.
Depending on the application, feeding of the blanks into the forging press could be vertically and/or horizontally.
Additionally it is possible to integrate additional processes, such as pre-rolling or the discharge of blanks.
As a rule, parts are transported to the forging press either by a robot or a transfer system (one-sided/double-sided).
In this context, robots are the more flexible solution and transfer systems are the faster automation solution for forming process.
The stability of the tools (forging dies) and the quality of the components to be produced play an extraordinary role in the forging process.
In the die spray sector, together with well-known German manufacturers the die spray systems could be integrated into overall so lution.
The die spray system can be integrated into the transfer rail or moved into the press area using a spray manipulator/handling robot.
Either way – the right choice always depends on the blank and the available space of forging press.
DREHER Automation has developed a consistent control concept based on Siemens components for various handling tasks.
This has resulted in an integrated automation solution in close cooperation with Siemens.
It consists of the Simotion D motion control system, inverters from the Sinamics S120 family and the latest generation of energy-efficient servo motors from the 1FK series.
