In warm & hot forging, parts are heated above 750ºC. This heat produces a large dimensional change in the forged part and requires a high quantity of lubricant. FAGOR ARRASATE warm & hot forging presses are specifically designed to be protected against the aggressive environment and the lubricants involved in the forging process.
The eccentric kinematic chain (servo or conventional) offers the most appropriate features for processes where minimal contact time in the die area is required. This short contact time during the process reduces die wearing and creates more time for part transportation and for the die cooling and lubrication.
For some parts manufactured through a warm forging process, low speed near the bottom dead center may be required, for such instances, FAGOR ARRASATE has also manufactured knuckle joint kinematic mechanical presses to work in warm forging.
