The operation of a large
forging hammer is one of the hardest and most dangerous jobs in the industry. The workpiece is usually glowing hot, which means there is generally a
furnace in the close vicinity to the
forging hammer. Liquid metal, high temperatures, noise, sparks and heavy duty physical work are the types of conditions under which someone would work, if they were to operate a large forging hammer. For this reason, only skilled workers should be operating this hammer. Surrounding the
forging hammer, it is important to undertake coordinated, cautious and organised work. Temporary and semi-skilled workers do not really have a role to play in the operation of a forging hammer (besides cleaning and transportation). A
forging machine is a massive tool, which needs to be supported by a foundation. In addition to a furnace, there are lots of other devices and equipment that belong to a
forging hammer. A forging hammer is not a standard tool for machinery works. However, they are useful for companies that would like to provide custom metalworking services.
