The speech of Fagor Arrasate presented the conditions that forging companies have to meet in the developed countries in order to successfully compete with the emerging countries. During the presentation, the advantages obtained by the combination of servo driven units working together with simulation programs were explained. In addition, as a real example, a solution of the conversion of an outdated transfer press was presented showing, step by step, with a minimal impact, the improvement of the machine into a more efficient and flexible production press with servo driven transfer and ejection systems.
