en.Wedoany.com Reported - Lanzhou LS Heavy Industry Co., Ltd. and Lanzhou LS Superalloy New Materials Co., Ltd. are redefining the intelligent path of high-end forging through deep synergy between "equipment and process."

The core of this synergy lies in the seamless integration of equipment manufacturing capabilities with forging production processes. The 125MN intelligent fast forging unit developed by LS Heavy Industry and the first domestically produced 18MN radial forging unit are not general-purpose equipment. Instead, in collaboration with LS Superalloy, they have tailored exclusive forging process curves specifically for the characteristics of difficult-to-deform and crack-prone materials such as superalloys and titanium alloys. By optimizing core parameters, they achieve "near-net shaping" under precise control, directly enhancing the quality and material utilization rate of the final forgings.

Building on this foundation, the collaboration between the two parties has further advanced towards deep synergy in full-process digitalization and intelligent manufacturing. Through advanced process layout, the 18MN radial forging unit, 125MN fast forging unit, heating furnace group, and straightening machine are integrated into one system. Relying on informatization, automation, and precision measurement and control technologies, a full-process automated production system from heat treatment and fast forging cogging to radial forging precision forming has been established. Data connects different units within the workshop, and through seamless integration with APS and MES systems, the planning, management, diagnosis, and optimization of the entire production process are achieved.

This model of "fast forging-radial forging collaborative operation plus intelligent control" enables the hardcore equipment of LS Heavy Industry and the advanced processes of LS Superalloy to achieve a synergistic effect. It not only enhances the diversified supply capacity of high-end forgings but also provides support for the independent controllability and upgrade iteration of the domestic high-end equipment and new material industry chain by creating a benchmark project for intelligent manufacturing and digital workshops in the forging industry.
