In the manufacturing industry, servo forging presses and friction presses are two common mechanical equipment. There are obvious differences in five aspects, including mode of operation, working principle, control system, scope of application and efficiency. Understanding these differences can help manufacturing companies better choose and use the right equipment.

Servo forging press is an advanced forging equipment, which has the characteristics of high precision, high speed and high efficiency. The friction press is a kind of traditional forging equipment, which deforms the metal billet through friction to achieve the purpose of forming. Although these two kinds of equipment are indispensable in forging production, they have obvious differences in application scenarios, operation mode, working principle, control system, application scope and efficiency.

The first difference: different mode of operation

Servo forging press adopts servo motor as power source, realizes accurate displacement, speed and force control through precision control system, and realizes accurate shaping of metal billet. The friction press uses the friction between the friction wheel and the blank as the power source, and deforms the metal blank through the rotation of the friction wheel.

Second difference: It works differently

The servo forging press uses high-precision die and advanced forming process to accurately press and forge the metal blank, so that its shape and size meet the design requirements. The friction press uses the friction between the friction wheel and the metal blank to deform the metal blank so that it can achieve the purpose of forming.

Third difference: the control system is different

Servo forging press adopts advanced servo control system, which can accurately control the running speed, displacement and force of the equipment to achieve high-precision metal forming. The friction press adopts the traditional hydraulic control system to control the deformation of the metal billet by adjusting the pressure and stroke of the hydraulic cylinder.

Fourth difference: different scope of application

Servo forging press is suitable for mass production of small and medium-sized metal parts, with high precision and high efficiency and other characteristics, suitable for the production of high value-added products. The friction press is suitable for the forming and processing of large metal parts, and has better adaptability for the processing of some thick wall parts.

Fifth difference: different efficiency

Because the servo forging press adopts advanced servo control system and high-precision mold, it can complete a large number of production tasks in a short time, so it has a high production efficiency. The production efficiency of the friction press is relatively low, which is affected by the wear of the friction wheel and the adjustment time.

In summary, there are five major differences between servo forging presses and friction presses in terms of operation mode, working principle, control system, application scope and efficiency. The servo forging press is suitable for the mass production of small and medium-sized metal parts with high precision, high speed and high efficiency, while the friction press is suitable for the forming and processing of large metal parts. In the selection and use of these two types of equipment, manufacturing enterprises need to be comprehensively considered according to the actual production needs and product characteristics, in order to achieve better manufacturing results and production benefits.
