Loading of the transport trolley The complete unit: press, 2 manipulators, and the transport trolley
the requirement of the plant operator
to a large degree,” describes the project
manager Dirk Lessner. this precision is
supported by the CAF-forging program
Forge Master (CAF = computer aided
forging), which was also supplied by
Siempelkamp. the different forging
programs are stored in a database which
makes it convenient to handle the ap-
p lication.
From Baosteel to Goldsky:
Success speaks for itself!
With Goldsky, Siempelkamp is supporting
a new consortium which puts high
demands on the technical know-how as
well as the corresponding consulting and
engineering services of the plant supplier.
the 45 Mn open-die forging press
that Shanghai Baosteel International has
operated since 2004 was a decisive
reference for Goldsky. With its 2-column
open-die forging press by Siempelkamp,
Baosteel, the largest steel producer in
China, has the most up-to-date press of
this kind in China.
the magnitude and success of this
project emphasize the high quality of
Siempelkamp press systems and document
the large experience of the Krefeld company
in the areas of design, engineering,
and installation. “We are the only press
manufacturer of which the product spectrum
includes the entire process chain of
metal forming. Due to our extensive experience
with titanium and the individual
process steps, Siempelkamp has constantly
developed new press concepts which make
it possible to optimally use the potentials
of the material. thus, customers not only
achieve reliably reproducible material properties
but also near net-shape component
parts that need little or no subsequent
machining,” says Samiron Mondal, Director
Sales Siempelkamp Maschinen- und Anlagenbau,
Metal Forming.

“Praise in advance” in the form of a
satisfied customer is not everything.
We constantly strive to meet specific customer
needs with best solutions. there
were three quality factors that Goldsky
found especially convincing during the
work on the project “open-die forging
press”: the comprehensive know-how
involving the processing and forging of
titanium, the adherence to deadlines, and
the reliable equipment. Regarding the
Goldsky order, Siempelkamp asserted itself
against the strong local and international
competitors with these quality factors.
Many tools for an optimal product
the Krefeld teams provided targeted support
in many details during the project. A
general problem in the Chinese market
concerns the supply of assembly tools.
“the tools required for the assembly of
such a large plant are outside of the
normal range,” describes Dirk Lessner.
