摘要:Looking at Forging Manipulators of different types.one can recognize‘fine differences’,whichare of importance during the forging process.Manipulators of Dango&Dienenthal in Siegen(DDS)incorporate a set of such’fine design features’,which distinguish them from others.However.where arethose’fine’differences?This will be easily explained and displayed within lhe presented paper.DDS hasdeveloped a certain design routine and an important philosophy to generate reliable products also for vervhigh loads in giant forge shops.based on the day.to-day experience with smaller machines,which havebeen built during the decades of machine development.Besides the reliable design.one should payattention to three key aspects:Accuracy-Acceleration—Accessibitity iS mainly in concern dunng thediscussion with forge masters in regard to those vital plant components.
