With the arrival of Industry 4.0, traditional forging methods, such as artificial hammers, have been gradually eliminated by modern forging plants because of their inefficiency, environmental pollution and waste of human resources. In order to better adapt to market demand, improve production efficiency and forging quality, many forging plants began to seek technological innovation. Crane Forgings, a leader in the industry, recently decided to introduce electric screw presses to optimize their forging process.

Second, problems and challenges

In the past, the crane forging factory has been using the traditional forging method, facing the problems of low efficiency, waste of human resources and environmental pollution. Moreover, due to its product characteristics, the accuracy and quality of forging requirements are very high, and traditional methods are difficult to meet these requirements.

Third, the solution

In order to solve the above problems, the crane forging factory decided to use an electric screw press for forging. This kind of press has the characteristics of high control precision and fast response. By pre-setting the pressure energy, the slider can be accelerated to fall, and then slowed down to pressurize the material at the set energy. In this way, not only can ensure the accuracy and quality of forging, but also greatly improve production efficiency.

Iv. Implementation process and results

Introduction stage: The crane forging plant conducted in-depth market research and technical research, and finally selected the electric screw press suitable for its production needs.

Training stage: In order to ensure that employees can skillfully operate the new equipment, the manufacturer provides professional training and technical support.

Implementation stage: After being officially put into use, the high precision and high efficiency of the electric screw press have been fully reflected. Compared with the previous, the accuracy and quality of forgings have been significantly improved, and the production efficiency has also been greatly improved.

Evaluation phase: After a period of use, the crane Forgings evaluated the performance of the electric screw press. The results show that this press not only greatly improves the quality and production efficiency of forging parts, but also reduces the production cost and waste of human resources.

V. Impact and benefits

Quality improvement: The high precision control of the electric screw press ensures the accuracy and quality of the forging, and greatly improves the pass rate of the product.

Increased efficiency: Thanks to the fast response and high efficiency of the electric screw press, the production efficiency of the crane forging plant has been significantly improved. Cost reduction: The use of new equipment reduces the waste of human resources and losses in the production process, thus reducing production costs.

Environmental contribution: Compared with traditional forging methods, the use of electric screw presses reduces environmental pollution and contributes to the sustainable development of enterprises.

By introducing the electric screw press, the crane forging factory has successfully solved the problems and challenges brought by the traditional forging method. This innovative case not only provides valuable experience for other forging plants, but also points the way for the development of the entire forging industry. Looking to the future, with the continuous progress and innovation of technology, we believe that the forging industry will usher in more development opportunities and challenges.
