On September 18, the Technical Seminar on Developing New Quality Productivity hosted by the Aerospace Material Forming Branch of China Forging and Stamping Association was successfully held in Jingdezhen, Jiangxi Province. Academician Wang Huaming, Academician Yuan Shijian, as well as experts and scholars from aircraft OEMs, aero-engine manufacturers, component suppliers and other upstream and downstream enterprises in the aerospace industrial chain, renowned universities and research institutes gathered at the event. They jointly discussed new trends and approaches in aerospace material forming technologies, injecting new momentum into the high-quality development of the aerospace industry.
The conference boasted an impressive lineup of speakers, including two academicians, leaders from multiple chain-leading enterprises and technical pioneers, who delivered special presentations in sequence. As the only private enterprise among the presenters at this conference, Dr. Yu Jun, Technical Director of Newwish, shared the technical exploration titled Breaking Traditional Design Concepts and Innovating the 10,000-Ton Servo Direct-Drive Electric Screw Press.
Market research indicates that complex aerospace structural components are rapidly evolving toward larger size, integral forming and superior performance, and their production mainly relies on large forging equipment. Nevertheless, existing heavy-tonnage forging machines still have obvious shortcomings in terms of efficiency, cost, labor dependency and intelligence level. Newwish presented solutions in this report, highlighting the application achievements of the J58ZK 10,000-ton servo direct-drive electric screw press for large and complex aerospace structural components:
High Tonnage High Efficiency Production Capacity
Featuring no transmission links, high-torque direct drive delivers high energy output and rapid response to production cycles. It achieves large-tonnage forming capacity while improving production efficiency.
Towards Near Net-Shape Forming Process Improvement
It enables precise control over blow energy, slide position, motion sequence and deformation process. Compatible with diverse materials, structures and processes, the equipment improves dimensional consistency and process stability, laying an equipment foundation for high-precision and high-consistency forming of large complex forgings.
Energy and Material Saving Cost Control
Adopting direct drive for high efficiency and on-demand energy output, the machine does not need to maintain high-speed flywheel rotation under non-working conditions. It reduces forging allowance, saves materials and cuts the subsequent machining workload. Without mechanical transmission components, maintenance costs are lower, comprehensively bringing down material and processing costs.
Controllable Perceivable and Traceable Intelligent Expansion
Built on digital control, the equipment features a high level of automation and intelligence. It connects equipment data, process data and product data, making the forging process perceivable and traceable, and providing data support for process optimization and quality control.
Breaking traditional design concepts, this advancement represents not merely an increase in tonnage, but a rethinking of the power, structure and control modes of large forging equipment. Newwish will continue to follow the technical route of servo direct drive, and keep exploring for forging equipment with larger tonnage and higher performance.
