What started as DemShe Products in 1988 has emerged from a 2007 bankruptcy as Demshe Forge, a Canadian supplier of parts primarily to the oil and gas industry. With its “small” and “heavy” forges co-located on their Ontario site, the company is positioned to supply both small and large parts to its customers.
Robotic die spray systems offer forge shops the most options and flexibility to solve die spray issues. Additionally, there exists a variety of spray tip and nozzle designs that, when properly integrated, can help maintain quality and consistency from one forging cycle to the next.
Measuring the strain on load-bearing members of hydraulic forging presses is one way to diagnose potential equipment trouble before it becomes a major downtime incident. Using linear variable differential transformers and related hardware, a distribution-of-forces system can alert equipment operators to potential problems.
In the past, the proper induction heating of forging billets presented challenges to the forger that could only be resolved through trial and error. Now, by using advanced computer simulations to model the heating and forging processes, hot-forging designers have powerful tools to reduce the guesswork and unit costs.
