Cold Forging Transfer Press CFT From 400 - 1,200 Tons
Press Information
Press Information & Overview
Cold Forging Transfer Press, CFT Overview
The AIDA CFT, Cold Forging Transfer Press, employs a unique transfer mechanism. Because it is completely different from transfer processing of sheet metals, the timing of punch up-stroking, knockout stroking, and transfer motion for automating cold forging processing is a critical problem to be solved. Timing adjustment of the lower knockout, however, makes transfer processing possible. Two-dimensional, three-dimensional, and grip transfer mechanisms are optionally available.

AIDA CFT Cold Forging Transfer Press Features
- Consistent product precision with uniform quality
- Material flow is smoother by continuous processing and strength is improved
- Storage space for semi-finished products is reduced
- Safety is enhanced because automation and setup time is drastically shortened
- Easy die changing thanks to die lifting equipment
- Improved product accuracy and longer die life are results of minimal slide inclination caused by eccentric load
