Understanding Forging Press Technology: Types and Applications
The forging press industry has evolved significantly, with various technologies designed to meet specific manufacturing needs. Understanding these different press types is crucial for selecting the right equipment for your operation. MAIKONG offers comprehensive solutions across all major categories.
Hydraulic Forging Press Systems
Hydraulic presses utilize fluid pressure to generate force, offering precise control and consistent pressure throughout the stroke. These systems excel in applications requiring controlled deformation and are ideal for materials that demand slower squeezing operations.
- Adjustable force and speed settings
- Excellent for open die forge applications
- Ideal for isothermal forging processes
- Available in capacities from 17 to 40 tons
- Lower die contact time for extended tool life
Mechanical Forging Press Technology
Mechanical presses employ a motor-driven system with an eccentric crankshaft that delivers a constant stroke length. These presses achieve maximum force near the bottom of the stroke, making them perfect for precision forging operations.
- Higher production rates (up to 70 strokes per minute)
- Best suited for low-profile forgings
- Automatic ejection capabilities
- Reduced draft requirements
- Less operator skill required compared to hammers

Upset Forging Technology: Specialized Shaping Solutions
Upset forging, sometimes called heading, is performed on horizontal forging machines known as upsetters. This specialized forging press technology excels at enlarging and reshaping specific sections of bars or tubes, creating complex profiles with exceptional material properties.
The Upset Forging Process
In its simplest form, hot upset forging holds heated stock between two half dies while applying pressure to the end of the stock in the direction of its axis. This pressure causes the metal to upset (spread) through controlled displacement. Modern upset forging machines employ multiple pass tooling to produce complex shapes with remarkable accuracy and consistency.
Applications of Upset Forging
- Shaft-type parts production
- Headed bolts and fasteners
- Flanged shafts and components
- Cluster gears manufacturing
- Wrench sockets requiring simultaneous upsetting and piercing
- Center or offset deformation requirements
MAIKONG Upsetter Advantages
- Multi-pass tooling capabilities
- Precise die alignment systems
- Automated material handling
- Programmable force control
- Quick-change die systems
- Enhanced operator safety features
