A hydraulic free forging press is used for open die forging and heavy metal forming. It shapes heated metal between open dies, allowing the workpiece to be moved, rotated and repositioned during forging.
This process is useful for producing large and customised forged parts. Common applications include shafts, rings, discs, cylinders, bars, blocks, flanges and heavy industrial components. The press can support operations such as upsetting, drawing out, stretching, flattening, piercing, bending and preforming.
A hydraulic free forging press provides controlled pressure instead of impact force. This helps improve deformation control and makes the machine suitable for large workpieces that require stable forming conditions.
The correct press should be selected based on billet size, workpiece weight, material type, forging temperature, production output and workshop layout. For heavier applications, a forging manipulator and travelling worktable may be required.
Wiz Machinery helps customers source hydraulic free forging press solutions according to real production requirements. The machine can be supplied as a standalone press or as part of a complete forging line with furnace, manipulator, hydraulic power unit and control system.
For industrial metal forming, the right hydraulic open die forging press can improve productivity, reduce manual handling and support flexible forging production across different workpiece types.
