The horizontal forging machine is an end forging machine for upsetting bars and tubes in the horizontal direction. The horizontal forging machine has 3 kinds of motion mechanisms. The punch (punch) reciprocates in the horizontal direction. Generally, 4 to 6 die chambers can be set. It is used for the forming mechanism of the upsetting process such as accumulation, upsetting, punching, and flanging, and is also the main force-applying mechanism. Movable die: It can be opened and closed up, down or horizontally to hold long bars and bear the end upsetting force. Cutting mechanism: used to separate the forging from the long bar.

The horizontal forging machines are driven by a crank-slider mechanism. Due to the large workpiece, the upsetting force and the clamping force, the machine needs to have sufficient rigidity to ensure the accuracy of the flat forgings.
Before the horizontal forging machine is started, the bar is placed in the cavity of the fixed die, and is positioned by the front plate to determine the length of the deformed part of the bar. Then, step on the foot pedal to activate the clutch. The crank-cam mechanism of the horizontal forging machine ensures that it works in the following order: during the advancement of the main slider, the side slider drives the movable die to quickly clamp the bar, the front plate retreats, the punch contacts the hot blank, and makes It deforms plastically until it fills the cavity. When the machine returns, the movement sequence of each part is: the punch withdraws from the die, the movable die returns to its original position, the punch returns to its original position, and the forging is taken out from the die.
