A Virtual Process Layout For Serial Automotive Production
Tekfor Cologne deploys Simufact.forming to achieve a quality, cost-efficient forming simulation

New CAM Program Cuts Machining Times
At a fast-expanding, high-volume automotive forging operation, a simple switch to Delcam’s PowerMILL reduces machining times for finished closed-die forging by 40%.

Accounting for Heat in Hot-Forging Process Design
ABP Induction and Simufact research, develop, and present new technology for simulating the effects of billet heating in the hot forging process.

Forge Fair 2010 Preview
The only exhibition+conference to focus exclusively on the forging industry is set for April in Cincinnati, and dozens of exhibitors are ready for the event.

Simufact, SMS Meer in Technology Partnership
Simulation software will be used to test, prove process technology

GE Supplying Inspection System to Chinese Rail Wheel Producer
Taiyuan Heavy Industry aiming to build domestic marketshare

Predicting Defects
“Virtual forging shop” simulation program allows users to control all variables

Realizing Simulation
Cost and functionality are two primary reasons forgers cite for not adopting simulation software. Have the 27% of North American operations now using sim programs resolved those concerns? Do they know something that the other 73% should learn?

Enterprise Software Brings Form, Functionality
FormTech’s choice standardizes IT across multiplant forging network.

Large-scale Inspection for Ring Gears
Dual-arm CMM measuring technology is combined with precision air-bearing mechanics, in a specially developed quality-control system for crane components.

Achieving Traceability on Piston Forgings
Bharat Forge America Inc. makes good use of a special dot-peen marking machine designed to operate on-the-factory-floor. to impart critical production-history data to each finished component.

Copper Forger Promotes Its Vertical Integration
Managing all production steps in-house — from receipt of material, through forging and processing, to delivery of finished components — results in increased quality, faster and more reliable delivery, and increased customer convenience, according to Weldaloy Products.

Integrated Simulation … Delivered
Two complementary technologies have been tightly integrated into a single product by Simufact, enabling end-to-end simulation of manufacturing processes.

Machining Forged Crankshafts
Customized inserts help an Audi drivetrain operation to machine six different crankshaft designs efficiently.

Using Robots for Die Weld Deposition
To keep forging dies in good operating condition, a new software controls the deposition-welding robot in a Cartesiancoordinate system.

Study Shows Superiority of Forged Crankshafts
Researchers demonstrate forged steel’s superior fatigue performance and durability versus cast iron in comparable, fully machined crankshafts.

Next Generation Inspection Sensor
High-tech, automated product inspection gets lighter, more versatile, and more powerful with new series of devices.

Lean Error-Proofing for Productivity Improvement
Error-proofing is an outgrowth of the quality movement, specifically the "zero defects" initiative. It is a team-based, plant-floor improvement strategy that focuses on production processes and operations.

Calculating reduction on rings
Q: Is there a specific formula to calculate reduction on rings and sleeves (rings drawn out on a pin)?

TECT Forges Ahead with Enterprise Metrology
Enterprise-wide capture and analysis of dimensional data drives operational and process improvements for titanium aircraft engine-blade manufacturing at this Cleveland forger.
