Typical Applications
Standard Industrial Hex Nuts: Forges M16–M48 heavy hex nuts designed for structural steel, power grids, and infrastructure.
Automotive Fasteners: Produces high-grade wheel nuts, lug nuts, and Class 8.8–12.9 suspension nut blanks.
Bearing Ring Blanks: Performs multi-station hot forging for inner/outer bearing rings up to 100 mm OD, eliminating thermal scarring.
Pipe Couplings & Lock Nuts: Forges high-pressure oil/gas pipe couplings, hydraulic union nuts, and serrated lock nuts.
Material Compatibility
Carbon Steel Alloys
Processes AISI 1020, 1045, and 1050 steel billets preheated to 1,000°C–1,200°C.
High-Tensile Alloy Steels
Forges 40Cr, 42CrMo, and 20CrMnTi alloys engineered for high-stress industrial applications.
Stainless Steel Grades
Accommodates SUS 304, 316, and 410 stainless steel billets under precise clamping pressure.


Working Principle
Induction Infeed & Clamping: Pre-heated billets from the furnace pass directly into high-speed pneumatic grippers.
Servo Progression & Lift: Dual-axis servo drives advance workpieces across stations 1–3 with a 120 mm vertical lift.
TDC Synchronized Retraction: Optical encoders monitor press angle, triggering gripper retraction 5° before Top Dead Center impact.
Part Discharge: Finished forging blanks drop into the discharge chute within a continuous 1.2-second cycle time.
Production Control
Industrial Protocol Integration: PLC controller supports native Modbus TCP and EtherNet/IP for direct integration into plant MES networks.
Multilingual HMI: 10-inch touchscreen (English, German, Spanish, Turkish) stores up to 50 operational parameter profiles for fast setup.
Real-Time Diagnostics: Continuous monitoring of line pressure, die temperature, and axis timing alerts operators before bad parts are forged.
Manufacturing Capabilities
Direct Manufacturer: Built by Quanzhou Sanye Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd. (Fujian, China), specializing in automated hot forging machinery.
Patented R&D: Holds State High-Tech Enterprise status with proprietary patents in multi-axis transfer systems and thermal gripper mechanics.
Factory Testing: Every machine completes a 72-hour full-load dry run before seaworthy export packaging.
FAQ
Q: Which export markets does the multilingual HMI (English, German, Spanish, Turkish) primarily support?
A: These language options directly serve our active customer base in the United States, Argentina, Türkiye, and other Spanish- and German-speaking industrial markets.
Q: What nut or bearing ring size range achieves the 1.2-second continuous cycle time?
A: The 1.2-second cycle time applies to M16-M30 hex nuts and bearing rings up to 80mm OD; larger M36-M48 heavy hex nuts typically run at 1.8-2.2 second cycles due to increased material transfer mass.
Q: What warranty coverage applies to the servo drives and gripper mechanics?
A: The servo drive system and gripper mechanics carry a 12-month warranty covering manufacturing defects, separate from consumable wear parts like grippers and transfer fingers.
Q: What is the standard lead time from order confirmation to completion of factory testing?
A: The standard lead time from order confirmation to completion of the 72-hour dry run and export packaging is 85-100 calendar days for standard configurations.
Q: What payment terms and methods are accepted for international orders?
A: We accept T/T and L/C payment methods, with standard terms of 30% deposit upon order confirmation and 70% balance before shipment after the customer approves FAT results.
