FAC Awarded for Aerospace Applications Forging Line
Jiuli has awarded the final acceptance certificate (FAC) for a hydraulic radial forging line to a metals industry technology supplier with North American locations. The plant has a press force of 18 MN for each of the four press cylinders, which will allow sophisticated materials for the aerospace industry to be forged.
"The new SMX forging line enables us to manufacture our products in a highly cost-efficient way. The high productivity and the wide range of products give us the necessary flexibility to respond quickly to changing demands," commented Luo Tongwei, project manager at Jiuli.
In addition to the SMX 900 / 18 MN as the core machine, the plant comprises two fully synchronized eight-ton forging manipulators and equipment for loading and unloading as well as for cutting, marking and cooling of forged bars. SMS group manufactured the plant to provide a forging strategy that is calculated on the basis of a comprehensive material database as well as the preset machine, material, geometry, and product-related parameters.
“SMS group has enjoyed a close working relationship with Jiuli for over ten years and has supplied them with different types of equipment during this period. We are looking forward to the further fruitful cooperation”, says Jia Hui, senior sales manager at SMS group.
