In recent years,with the rapid development of the forging industry,the requirements for forgings have become increasingly high,and various challenges have been posed to forging presses. Multifunctional forging hydraulic presses have emerged,which achieve three forging processes:free forging,precision extru-sion forging,and isothermal forging of aluminum alloy,magnesium alloy,titanium alloy,and high-temperature alloy parts on the same hydraulic press. This article mainly discusses the control system and methods of multifunctional hydraulic presses.
