The hydraulic forging manipulator works in coordination with the forging electro-hydraulic hammer, primarily used to clamp shaft workpieces and billets and perform forging operations. The manipulator adopts a sturdy frame with laterally connected side plates, is equipped with a clamping mechanism featuring jaw rotation functionality, and has a 360° rotation capability to ensure precise operation. All movements are hydraulically driven, and the traveling mechanism can be controlled via a motor or hydraulics as needed. The manipulator supports precise movement along three axes, including horizontal, vertical tilt, and longitudinal rotation, with step-adjustable movement speeds.
The forging manipulator offers three operation modes: manual, semi-automatic, and automatic. Through the control console, the operator can select manual operation or enable automatic mode to perform preset steps automatically according to the pulse signals of the forging electro-hydraulic hammer. Automatic control is achieved through a PLC system, ensuring precise and efficient operation.
This manipulator significantly improves production efficiency and forging quality, reduces labor intensity for workers, and enables mechanized production of forgings. The linear forging manipulator can perform operations such as large carriage travel, forward and backward lifting of the jaw frame, tilting, jaw rotation, and clamping and releasing. The rotary forging manipulator, in addition to the aforementioned functions, adds the ability to rotate the frame to accommodate more complex work requirements.
