The methods of shaping metal

UPSET FORGING

Upset die forging is a forging process where the diameter of the workpiece is increased by compressing its length. In this process, the metal is held securely in place while a die compresses it. The material flows outward and increases in diameter. This technique is particularly useful for forming heads on fasteners like bolts, or for creating features such as flanges on shafts.

OPEN DIE FORGING

Open die forging, also known as free forging. It is a process where a heated metal workpiece is placed between flat or contoured dies that do not fully enclose the material. The metal is repeatedly struck or pressed, allowing it to flow and change shape freely under the force of the hammer or press. Forgings are used for critical components because it strengthens the material.

CLOSED DIE FORGING

Closed die forging, also known as impression die forging, is a process where the heated metal is placed into a die that contains a cavity in the shape of the desired part. The metal is then hammered or pressed until it fills the die cavity, taking on its shape. The die typically consists of two halves that come together to fully enclose the workpiece, ensuring that the metal is confined and precisely shaped.

BENSCH FORGE MACHINING

CNC Machining and Die Making at the Core of Bensch Forge’s Innovative Manufacturing Process

CNC TURNING MACHINES

At Bensch Forge, CNC turning machines are essential for producing precise cylindrical components like shafts and round parts. The workpiece rotates at high speeds on a spindle while a cutting tool shapes it to exact dimensions. This ensures exceptional accuracy and consistency. CNC turning handles threading, drilling, and boring, delivering reliable parts that meet strict industry standards.

CNC MILLING MACHINES

At Bensch Forge, CNC turning machines are vital for producing precise cylindrical components, like shafts and round parts critical for propshafts. These machines rotate the workpiece at high speeds while a cutting tool removes material, shaping it to exact specifications. This ensures components are crafted with exceptional accuracy and consistency. CNC turning also handles operations like threading, drilling, and boring, ensuring all parts meet strict industry standards.

DIE MAKING MACHINES

At Bensch Forge, die making utilizes advanced machinery like CNC milling and EDM (Electrical Discharge Machining) to produce high-precision dies essential for shaping metal during forging. CNC milling creates complex geometries with tight tolerances, while EDM allows for fine details and smooth finishes. The precision of these machines ensures durable dies capable of withstanding the high pressures of forging operations.
