350 ton rotary forging press for forging aluminum wheel blanks with a diameter of up to 36 inches.
The warmed up aluminum billets are formed to a plate or a cup. Due to the upper spindle, which is positioned at a small angle, the forming force always only acts on a partial surface of the workpiece. Due to the smaller contact surface, the forming force required is much lower than in conventional forging.
