Recently, Nanjing Litai Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Litai Technology") based on the characteristics of the hot forging process and combined with its years of practical experience in serving the forging industry, has launched a series of hot forging dedicated ram head machines suitable for processing high-temperature billets. This equipment is mainly used for the end upsetting or local densification of hot metal billets, providing precise pre-forming for subsequent die forging processes, and is an indispensable supporting equipment in various hot die forging production lines. As a forging equipment intelligent manufacturing enterprise integrating R&D, design, and manufacturing, Litai Technology is helping forging enterprises improve material utilization and product forming quality through professional hot forging equipment.
Based on hot forging technology, focusing on blanking accuracy
In hot forging production, the ramming head (also known as upsetting or local upsetting) is an important blanking process. Its function is to locally upset the end of the heated long bar stock, so that the metal flow lines are distributed along the contour of the forging, improving the fiber flow direction of the metal, thereby enhancing the mechanical properties of the forging. At the same time, by reasonably distributing the volume of the blank material through the ramming head process, it can effectively reduce the flash loss in subsequent die forging and lower the material cost.
The R&D team of Litai Technology has a thorough understanding of the uniqueness of the hot forging process. They have specially optimized the equipment based on the physical properties of the high-temperature billets.
Heat-resistant structural design: The key components of the equipment are made of heat-resistant materials and undergo special heat treatment processes, which can withstand the thermal radiation caused by high-temperature raw materials, ensuring the stability of the equipment during long-term continuous operation.
Precise positioning mechanism: To address the softening and deformation characteristics of metal billets under high temperatures, a reliable clamping and positioning device was designed to ensure that the axis of the billet does not deviate during the thickening process and that the ends are formed smoothly and uniformly.
Efficient ejection structure: The mold installation and ejection mechanism have been optimized to facilitate the rapid ejection of high-temperature forged parts, reducing the dwell time of the blank in the mold, which not only protects the mold but also enhances production efficiency.
Automation integration, integrated into the forging production line
LITECH Technology has been dedicated to assisting forging enterprises in building automated production lines. In the research and development of the hot forging head machine, the company fully leveraged its technical advantages in robot integration and automated control:
Automation of loading and unloading: The equipment can be equipped with dedicated high-temperature-resistant mechanical arms or sliding mechanical arms, which can automatically complete actions such as unloading from the heating furnace, feeding the billets into the die head machine, and removing them after forming, achieving unmanned operation.
Interlinked control with the press: The PLC control system is used to achieve signal communication and timing matching between the heating furnace and the die forging press, ensuring smooth operation of the entire line and preventing the decline in billet temperature from affecting the quality of the forged parts.
Online inspection reservation: The equipment can reserve a visual inspection interface to monitor the dimensions of the billet after the die head, providing data support for subsequent quality control.
Improve material utilization and reduce production costs
By using the LITECH thermal forging head machine for blanking, significant process advantages can be achieved:
Material utilization rate improvement: By precisely controlling the volume and shape of the billet, the consumption of forging flash can be reduced, thereby effectively increasing the material utilization rate.
Extended mold life: The billet after pre-forming is closer to the shape of the forging, and when entering the final forging mold, it is subjected to more uniform force, which can reduce local wear and impact on the mold.
Energy consumption reduction: Reducing trim waste means that the load of the subsequent trimming press is reduced, and it also decreases the generation of scrap materials, thereby lowering the overall energy consumption.
Rich industry experience, enabling precise hot forging
Since its establishment in 2016, Liete Technology has served over 5,000 factories in China, accumulating extensive experience in fields such as forging oxide skin cleaning machines and forging automated production lines. The company is located in Henglu Economic Development Zone, Nanjing City, with a modern production workshop covering over 6,000 square meters, possessing the full-chain manufacturing capabilities from mechanical processing to complete machine assembly. Relying on the industry-university-research cooperation, Liete Technology has a professional team with excellent skills, capable of providing customized ramming machines and配套 solutions based on the specific forging piece requirements of customers.

Looking to the future, Nanjing Litai Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd. will continue to focus on the field of hot forging equipment. Based on its professional hot forging ram machines, it will combine automated production lines and green environmental protection technologies to help forging enterprises achieve intelligent transformation and upgrading, and contribute to the high-quality development of China's forging industry.
