Modal Analysis of Hydraulic Press Frames for Open Die Forging

AbstractDynamic behavior of the forging machines is necessary to explore due to the increasing of speeds on large forging hydraulic presses for open die forging. The paper describes the modal analysis of two selected presses, which represent the most common designs of hydraulic presses for forging. The first press is with double-column frame CKV 50 with the force 50MN and the second one is with four-column frame CKV 170 with the force 170 MN. Further are described the simulations of oscillation, which was excited by time-dependent work force. Results of analysis are compared with measurement in the real operation
