This research introduces an advanced forging method to produce the door frame of the wind turbine tower. The advantage of the new forging method is the increase of raw material utilization ratio and the energy saving. In the conventional method, the door frame is hot forged with a hydraulic press and machined out lots of material because of the big difference between forging shape and final mac...

Cooperating with heavy forging press, the heavy-duty forging manipulator is used for handling the workpiece during the free-forging process. Therefore, the size accuracy of the forgings is related to the dynamics performance of the forging manipulator. This paper aims to study the dynamic performance of DDS heavy-duty forging manipulator. The kinematics model is firstly built to predict the tra...
