Production Output
Operates at 35–45 pieces per minute (PPM).
Delivers 30–40 PPM for standard hex nut profiles.
Heavy-duty transfer design operates at 25–35 PPM.
Consistently forges large-diameter nuts at 20–30 PPM.
Process Stability
Servo-driven transfer positioning maintains repeatable workpiece alignment between forging stations.
Adjustable clamping force helps secure hot blanks without excessive gripping pressure.
Stroke adjustment up to 300 mm supports controlled forming movement across different press configurations.
Heavy-duty machine frames are designed to maintain structural rigidity under high forging loads.


Automation Systems
Rapid Changeover
Mechanical stroke (0–20 mm) and beam setup (0–120 mm) reduce line changeover time to under 45 minutes.
Simplified Maintenance
Standardized mechanical components allow routine shop-floor servicing without specialized toolmakers.
Fault Interlocks
Safety sensors automatically pause operations during workpiece misfeeds or sudden air pressure drops.
OEM Integration
Press Match Design: Custom mechanical interfaces-including manipulator stroke, bed layout, and die-center spacing.
Custom End-Effectors: Specialized grippers and transfer beams designed for complex nut geometries and high-strength alloy workpieces.
Control & Peripheral Integration: Native compatibility with Siemens, Allen-Bradley, and Mitsubishi PLCs, incorporating hardware interfaces for auxiliary heaters and sorting units.
Engineering Pre-Validation: 3D STEP models and 2D clearance drawings provided before manufacturing for layout verification.

FAQ
Q: Under what blank size and material conditions are the 35-45 PPM output figures for the 160K Series achieved?
A: The 160K Series reaches 35-45 PPM when processing standard M12-M20 carbon steel blanks under normal three-shift induction heating conditions; larger alloy steel blanks reduce output toward the lower end of this range.
Q: How does the under-45-minute changeover time compare to manual die-change methods on similar tonnage presses?
A: Manual die changes on comparable 160K-400K press lines typically take 2-3 hours, so our mechanical stroke and beam adjustment system cuts changeover time by roughly 70-75%.
Q: Can this equipment be integrated with induction heaters and sorting units from other manufacturers already on our production floor?
A: Yes, our mechanical and electrical integration service is designed to connect with third-party induction heaters, loaders, and sorting units already installed in your production line.
Q: Do you offer press and manipulator matching recommendations if we haven't finalized our press tonnage yet?
A: Yes, our technical support team reviews your target nut specifications and production volume to recommend the correct press tonnage and manipulator model before you commit to a configuration.
Q: What routine maintenance tasks can our own shop-floor staff handle?
A: Standardized mechanical components allow in-house staff to handle gripper replacement, lubrication system checks, and stroke calibration, while specialized toolmaker intervention is only needed for die refurbishment.
