Other Forging Machine

Wedge Drive Device

A pneumatic tool used with a forklift to drive wedges into and out of forging hammer dies, replacing the traditional sledgehammer method with adjustable, single-operator force control.

Wedge Drive Device

Overview

About this machine

The key driver addresses the limitations of the traditional drop hammer method used in forging factories: it lacks controlled striking force and direction, risks damaging the wedges and creates safety hazards when several operators are involved.

Anyang’s solution can be used with a suitable forklift to drive wedges on forging hammers. It functions as a pile machine driven by compressed air: the hitting head performs a quick hit with a corresponding strike energy.

The device is to be used for driving mounting wedges in and out of forging hammers, in combination with a suitable and permissible forklift. Operation requires two-handed operation and should be performed by only one operator.

Features

Design features and technology

01

Strike energy adjustment

The slide valve is the central control element for adjusting the wedge tool. Positions 1–6 allow strike energy adjustment from light to heavy, with position 6 providing maximum strike energy.

02

Compressed air supply

The compressed air supply shall be guaranteed to be clean, dry and to have continuous pressure as far as possible.

03

Two-handed control

Two-handed operation protects the operator during work.

In use

Applications

  • Driving mounting wedges in and out of forging hammers
  • Use in combination with a suitable and permissible forklift

How to order

  • 1The working area shall be completely isolated from the area behind the machine.
  • 2No one behind the machine.
  • 3Only the forklift driver and the operator can be in the isolated areas.
  • 4Operators must wear the required protective clothing.
