Famous names such as Eumuco and Hasenclever have represented the epitome of top performance worldwide for more than 50 years. Today, the know-how and technology associated with these traditional brands is pooled in SMS group's closed-die forging operations.
Whether you are interested in eccentric presses, screw presses, wedge presses, all upline and downline forming accessories, or the entire automation technology - SMS group offers everything you need for closed-die forging. What's more, with over 3,100 reference plants built worldwide, we draw on perhaps the greatest wealth of experience in this field.
Concepts
Closed-die forging
Where performance meets efficiency
Technology
iForge Traceability
Part tracking solution for every single forgingSMS group offers a unique solution for the digitalized and smart tracking of every single forged part, from which closed-die forging shops and their customers will benefit in the long term. The built-in sensors continuously collect process data, store them in an infinite database that is kept for the product throughout the whole process chain.
Drive technology
Closed-die forging presses with MEERtorque®High torque at low speeds
MEERtorque® is an innovation that applies advanced torque motor technology to reduce pressure dwell times.
30 Strokes per minute
Our MEERtorque® for forging presses works on the principle of separating the pure press movement from the energy supply. This is how it works: The forming energy is stored in a flywheel that rotates at up to 110 rpm. Next, when the stroke is applied, a torque motor accelerates the eccentric shaft and the ram to flywheel speed. Only then are these components coupled to the flywheel in a slip-free manner, so the press loses no energy.
Additively manufactured 3D spray heads by SMS group
Breakthrough in die maintenanceThe tools of closed-die forging presses are in part geometrically so complex that conventional manufacturing methods of spray heads reach their limits. This is exactly where additive manufacturing, also known as 3D printing, reveals its strengths.
Request for a 3D spray head
Define all the relevant parameters needed for your 3D spray head step by step: The dimensions of the spray head as well as the quantity and coordinates of the spraying points. You can also configure additional functions individually.
