Testimonial

Tobias did an outstanding job working with our press
crew and maintenance team to help us implement a
more automated process resulting in significant cycle
time reduction and reduced process variation. We
quickly recognized the benefits this automation will have
on the overall maintenance of our equipment as well.
His insight and interactions with the press operators was
highly impactful and we look forward to continued
partnership on future projects.

Getting us into the ‘full automatic’
mode is a huge step forward for
productivity, consistency and part
quality. This achievement is critical to
our future success.
Once again, we very much appreciate
your efforts!

easy2forge is an excellent tool that helps us to meet the
high quality standards for aerospace parts in a serial
production. The use of easy2forge not only guarantees
highest productivity in production but also supports us during
the development process for new products. With the
simulation capabilities of easy2forge we are able to reach
our goals in weight optimization and near net shape design.

easy2forge enables us to forge all products in full automatic
mode including even die shift. The generated programs can
be used out of the box without any modification. The forging
process is fast and precise.
New programs are available at the press immediately.
Calculating a new product is very easy and takes only a few
minutes.

We have very high acceptance from the press operators
using easy2forge programs. Managing the manipulator jaw
height is much easier with easy2forge. This and the
homogenious deformation clearly has a positive impact on
the straightness and the quality of the bars.
Furthermore we significantly reduced production times. This
will certainly have a positive effect on production costs and
energy costs.

This is an essential part of the AFRC’s wider activity on creating a digital-twin framework for forging operations. We have managed to forge a part with an ‘easy2forge’ predicted schedule loaded on Future Forge; the fastest schedule/operation so far! This is an important milestone towards a fully automatic forging process, at a scale comparable to industry, with a potential of designing desired microstructures.
Special thanks to Tobias Fister for his time, patience and his tremendous knowledge of forging. We found these two days extremely useful and looking forward to future collaborations and a fruitful partnership.
