Project Information

|
Hot forging steel parts is a common method of
producing complex high strength mechanical
assemblies for aerospace, military, or automotive
applications. High precision forgings may require
several sequential forging steps, requiring
alignment of an incomplete forged part with the
next set of forging dies. This alignment is
currently performed by hand using pry bars and
forklift trucks, and alignment is performed by eye
by an experienced operator. A system to measure the
alignment of a forging relative to the forging dies
in the press, and provide visual feedback to the
operator indicating degree of misalignment is
desired. A laser system has been implemented to
address these needs as well as a provided program
that will produce data Wyman Gordon can use for
future optimizations. An LED display is also
implemented to provide operators with quick easy to
read information on the position of the part.
