FOUR-STRIKER FORGING PRESS

FIELD: plastic working of metals, possibly forging ingots and billets in hydraulic forging presses and radial-squeezing machines. ^ SUBSTANCE: press includes two holders of upper and lower strikers with inclined faces; two holders of lateral strikers having kinematics coupling with above mentioned two holders and also having inclined face; mounted on inclined faces anti-friction plates and four strikers. Press is provided with system for cooling strikers and their holders. Cooling system includes valve for supplying water, manifolds for feeding and draining water, pipelines and flexible hoses. In striker holders and strikers ducts are formed. Pipelines going out from water supply manifold are communicated with ducts of striker holders and of strikers. Said ducts at other side are communicated through pipelines with water draining manifold. Ducts of striker holders are arranged under zones of mounting anti-friction plates; ducts of strikers are arranged under their working surfaces. ^ EFFECT: increased operational time period of anti-friction plates and strikers due to removing excess heat from them. ^ 2 cl, 3 dwg
