In the forging production line, the press often works in conjunction with other equipment to perform subsequent finishing operations.TrimmingFunction: After the final forging process, a ring of excess metal, known as "flash" or "burr," remains around the forging. The press can be equipped with a trimming die to precisely remove this flash, much like a punching machine, resulting in a forging with clear contours. This is precisely the function of the previously mentioned "Trimming Machine," which can sometimes be performed by the same press.Piercing / PunchingFunction: For forgings that require a central hole (such as nuts), the press can be used to punch out the thin layer of material (called the "web") in the center of the forging, creating a through hole.Sizing / CalibratingFunction: After the previous processes, the forging may have slight deformations. The press can perform a final sizing or calibration to ensure the dimensional accuracy and shape of the forging fully meet the requirements.
