Automation Trends in Shaft Forging Processes

Forging processes are undergoing a profound transformation towards automation to meet the evolving demands of industry. Traditional forging relies on manual operation, facing issues such as low efficiency and insufficient precision, making it difficult to meet the requirements of modern manufacturing for high-performance shaft parts.

Automation technology, through the integration of intelligent equipment, significantly improves production efficiency and product quality. For example, advanced processes such as radial forging employ coordinated control of multiple hammers to achieve uniform material deformation, reduce waste, and enhance component reliability.

In the future, automation will drive forging towards a "lights-out factory" model, supporting small-batch customized production, reducing energy consumption and costs, and becoming a key support for high-end manufacturing.
