1. An apparatus for forging comprising:
a machine frame; a first tooling member connected to and moveable relative to said machine frame, wherein a workpiece is coupled to and moves with said first tooling member, and wherein:
said first tooling member and said workpiece combine to define a first mass,said first tooling member and said workpiece have a first impact velocity at a first impact position, andsaid first tooling member and said workpiece have a first momentum at said first impact position; a second tooling member connected to and moveable relative to said machine frame opposite said first tooling member, wherein:
said second tooling member defines a second mass and has a second impact velocity at a second impact position,said second mass is at most twenty percent of said first mass, andsaid second tooling member has a second momentum at said second impact position; a first velocity sensor configured to detect at least said first impact velocity; a second velocity sensor configured to detect at least said second impact velocity; and a controller configured to adjust at least one of said first impact velocity and second impact velocity such that said second momentum is within twenty percent of said first momentum, wherein: said second tooling member impacts said workpiece positioned on said first tooling member within an impact zone defined by said first impact position and said second impact position, and a position of said impact zone relative to a first initial position of said first tooling member and a second initial position of said second tooling member is variable. |
