Currently, the wear of anvils on speed forging machines is mostly checked manually, using calibration gauges. In practice, an authorized worker, on the instructions of the machinist, measures the finished forging with a calibrated gauge and this dimension is compared with the final setting of the forging program. The problem is that the program information on the clamping of the anvils does not take their wear into account. During the forging of bars with diameters greater than 200 mm, excessive die wear frequently occurs. Worn dies subsequently measure the in process dimensions of the forged bars inaccurately. In response, a new measurement method has been proposed, utilising a laser camera to determine the intermediate dimensions of forged bars while accounting for die wear. This information is then used to correct the forging algorithm, thereby improving the accuracy of the final forging operations.
