Forge pressing is the process of shaping a metal piece by applying pressure as it’s placed between two dies. You do this with a forging press, which is a machine that slowly applies pressure until a piece gets manipulated into a new shape. The method is preferred for its affordability compared to other forging processes. The press gives …
The Most Common Types of Forging Defects
Forging provides the best mechanical properties out of all manufacturing processes, but that doesn't mean it's faultless. Defects are common in forging, and most of them occur due to preventable errors or faulty processes. Let's look at some of the most common types of forging defects and how you can prevent them in your …
Tips for Implementing a 3D Bin Picking System
It's estimated that almost 40 percent of manual labor in manufacturing spends their time only on the repetitive task of moving parts from bins to feed machines. However, with the rise of robotic technology, repetitive tasks like these can be automated, cutting down on inflated labor costs. With this reduction in manor labor expenses, …
