Servo forging press and casting machine are two important equipment in the manufacturing industry, they play different roles in the manufacturing process, there are significant differences. This paper will compare the servo forging press and casting machine from five aspects.

1. Manufacturing process

Servo forging press mainly adopts mechanical press or hydraulic press for forging, and realizes the metal forming process through the interaction of mold and blank. In the forging process, the servo forging press can accurately press and forge the blank, so that its shape and size meet the requirements of the mold.

The casting machine melts the metal and pours it into the mold to form the casting after the metal cools and solidifies. Casting methods can be divided into sand casting, metal casting, pressure casting, etc., each casting method has its own characteristics and scope of application.

Second, manufacturing accuracy

Due to the precision mechanical structure, the servo forging press can achieve the precise shaping and control of the metal blank through the high-precision mold and forming process, and the manufacturing accuracy is high, which can reach the millimeter level.

Due to the influence of molten metal and the limitation of control accuracy, the manufacturing accuracy of the casting machine is relatively low, especially for the complex shape of the casting, it is necessary to take corresponding technical measures to improve the accuracy.

3. Production efficiency

Servo forging press generally adopts automatic production mode, high production efficiency, and can complete a large number of production tasks in a short time. In addition, the servo forging press can also realize the simultaneous molding of multiple die cavities, further improving production efficiency.

Casting machine due to its production process limitations, the production efficiency is relatively low. Especially for large castings, it takes a long time for the pouring and solidification process, and the production cycle is long.

Fourth, energy consumption

The servo forging press uses electric energy as the main energy source, and the energy consumption is relatively low. In the production process, energy consumption can be reduced through reasonable process design and equipment selection.

The casting machine consumes a lot of energy to melt the metal, but also needs to consume energy to keep the mold warm and maintain the stability of the casting process. Therefore, the energy consumption of the casting machine is relatively large.

V. Scope of application

The servo forging press is suitable for mass production of small and medium-sized metal parts, and can complete high-precision molding in a short time. In addition, the servo forging press can also be used for sheet metal stamping and stretch forming processes.

Casting machine is suitable for large and medium-sized metal parts manufacturing and mass production. Due to the need to melt and pour the metal in the casting process, the application range of the casting machine is relatively wide. However, the production efficiency of the casting machine is low, and a lot of energy and time are consumed.

In summary, the servo forging press and the casting machine have significant differences in manufacturing process, manufacturing accuracy, production efficiency, energy consumption and scope of use. Manufacturing enterprises need to choose suitable equipment according to their own product characteristics, production scale and manufacturing requirements and other factors. In the manufacturing process, the reasonable selection and use of equipment can improve production efficiency, reduce costs and improve product quality, so as to create greater economic and social benefits for enterprises.
