Programmed forging system with graphic interface

摘要

A forging system comprises a furnace with heating elements to heat a billet which is pressed against a die at a controlled rate and pressure. A signal processor controls the temperature, pressure and rate as a function of parameters entered on a keyboard the signal processor displays those parameters along with real time values of temperature pressure and distance for the billet in a graphical interface that includes a model of the billet and furnace with elements that change size during the forging processor. Forging pressure is displayed, in this interface, on an incremented bar.
