Individual-type Die Block
With the individual-type die block, the block at each station is independent, providing a gap.
Because of this, the influence of the heat generated during forging is suppressed from reaching the next station.
In turn, thermal expansion of the entire die block can be controlled. This, in conjunction with coolant oil pipes within the die block, creates efficiency.
In addition, maintenance on the individual-type die block is easier to perform when tooling seizes.
