Isothermal forging presses

Our isothermal forging presses are used to produce sophisticated and highly stressed components for high-tech products. The presses are designed for the highest requirements, such as aerospace, defense, medical technology, and more. Press speeds of 0.01 mm/s are achieved.

SIEMPELKAMP also supplies complete plants for isothermal forging. They include the furnace, the loading manipulator, the forging press, the die heating system, the hydraulic drive system, and the entire automation system. The plant control system monitors and documents the process parameters in accordance with the certification standards of the aerospace industry.

SIEMPELKAMP offers a modular system for configuring an isothermal forging cell, consisting of coordinated components such as the forging press, add-on structures for enclosing the cell, inductive die heating (upper and lower die), rotary-hearth furnace, universal loading manipulator, and more.

The isothermal forging cell is designed as an autonomous production unit. This system concept is prepared for additional modules that, for example, enable simplified tool changes. Heating of the next forging die and cooling of the die to be replaced in a nitrogen atmosphere can take place in parallel with the forging process. The chamber is operated with protective gas. We achieve high accuracy by preventing the stick-slip effect through special seals.
