The Characteristics of Forging Workshop—Part Two

The working force of forging equipment is great, such as crank press, stretch forging press and hydraulic press. Although their working conditions are relatively stable, the force generated by their working parts is great. For example, 12000t forging hydraulic press has been manufactured and used in China. It is the common 100~150t press, whose power is big enough. If the mold is installed or operated incorrectly, most of the force will not act on the workpiece, but on the mold, tool or equipment itself. In this way, some errors in installation and adjustment or improper operation of tools may cause damage to machine parts and other equipment or serious personal accidents.
 
Forging tools and auxiliary tools, especially hand forging and free forging tools, clamps, etc., are various, and these tools are put together in the workplace. At work, tools are frequently replaced and stored in disorder, which inevitably increases the difficulty of checking these tools. When a certain tool is needed in forging and cannot be found quickly, similar tools are sometimes used, which often leads to industrial accidents.

The noise and vibration in the operation of forging workshop equipment make the workplace noisy, which affects people's hearing and nervous system and distracts attention, thus increasing the possibility of accidents.
