Automatic forge rolling machine

Abstract

An automatic forge rolling machine relates to metal-working equipment. The present invention can be most advantageously used for rolling workpieces prior to finish forging in mass production of various parts and articles. The herein proposed forge rolling machine comprises two stands each accommodating two shafts carrying roll-forging dies and a means for feeding a workpiece to said dies, said means being provided with a guide for the workpiece and a conveyer having a hauling member which carries a pusher for advancing said workpiece, and means for braking the workpiece before it is engaged by the roll-forging dies. A braking member of the braking means is disposed substantially above the guide means for advancing the workpiece being worked, said braking member being spring-biased towards the workpiece. The mechanism for tensioning the hauling member, carrying the pusher of the conveyer, is positioned behind the roll forging dies, as viewed in the direction of the workpiece travel, and is made so that the tensioning of the hauling member is maintained constant in the direction of the workpiece travel, thereby providing accuracy of an initial position of the pusher ahead of the workpiece braking means. Such an arrangement prevents self-feeding of the workpiece to the dies and enables the workpiece to be fed to the latter at prescribed time intervals, thereby ensuring high quality of the finished product.
