MANUAL AND ROBOTIC OPERATION FOR A HOT FORGE

Abstract

The following paper explains Automated Robotic forging planning and development. The uncertainty introduced by manually operated methods is a key issue to address in the manufacture of forges. Individual operators prefer to use an individualized method, meaning that the performance differs depending on the speed of the operator, the amount of lubricant applied, and results are inconsistent. In addition, the automation of this process, as well as contributing to output volume increases, provides improvements in quality and in performance consistency in particular. The latter function (related to the stabilization of experimental conditions) for the research investigator-means that the automated method can then be used as a process monitoring device itself, without the ambiguity that tends to confuse the process improvements that can be derived from any particular change. So the automated system can be used to diagnose the process itself. Where manufacturing operations consist of manual and automated process improvements, for example the application of lubricant can be reflected back from the automated to the manual operations.
