Something about a Railbound Forging Manipulator

Abstract

Heavy payload forging manipulators are mainly characterized by large load output and large capacitive load input. The relationships between outputs and inputs have greatly influenced the control and reliability. Forging manipulators have become more prevalent in the industry today. They are used to manipulate objects to be forged. The most common forging manipulators are moving on a railway to have greater precision and stability. They have been called the rail-bound forging manipulators. In this paper, one presents the general aspects of a rail-bound forging manipulator, like geometry, structure, general kinematics and forces of the main mechanism from such manipulator. The kinematic scheme shows a typical forging manipulator, with the basic motions in operation process: Walking, the motion of the tong and buffering. The lifting mechanism consists of several parts including linkages, hydraulic drives and motion pairs. An idea of establishing the incidence relationship between output characteristics and actuator inputs is proposed. Self-forging systems have the ability to achieve an open, fast, direct forging of products that are often heavy and heavy but also bulky. Open forging productivity is generally very high, it is determined not only by the capacity of forging press but obviously dynamic handling by forging manipulator. The most prominent and qualitative forging machines are the DANGO and DIENENTHAL series, equipped with high dynamic devices and specially designed to operate on heavy forging presses. They ensure the reliability and repeatability of all forging cycles. Even a modernization of existing forging machines with D&D machines will improve the capacity and quality of these facilities. D&D handlers allow to forge nearly clean shapes and guarantee superior surface qualities, thus saving energy, improving production and saving costs during the machining of parts. Savings due to shorter process times and reduction of reheating cycles result in shorter recovery time.
