<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To keep the thickness of products constant when forming by orbital forging. <P>SOLUTION: In a control means 34 that controls the operation of an oscillating rotation drive means 18 and a lifting drive means 28 during the forming of a workpiece W, a load value f1 applied on an oscillating part 12 is understood. In a load control section 36 of the control means 24, the process of eliminating the elastic deformation caused to each of an upper mold 16, a lower mold 26, the oscillating rotation drive means 18 and the lifting drive means 28 with the load of the workpiece W being formed as the forming of workpiece W progresses is understood from the reduction of load value f1 applied to the oscillating part 12. The load control part 36 assesses, from the change in the load value f1 applied to the oscillating part 12, the timing when the elastic deformation caused to each of the upper mold 16, the lower mold 26, the oscillating rotation drive means 18 and the lifting drive means 28 is eliminated and the shape of workpiece W becomes desired product accuracy, and releases the load to the workpiece W. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
