General Overview
AMP 50 and AMP 70 Design Features
Bar stock to precision forgings at 70, 80, or 100 a minute Hotmatic Design Hotmatic Design (Continued) Feed rolls Shearing stations produce consistent, clean blanks Four full-function forming stations: moves a lot of metal Dependable and accurate transfer Forgings without any draft -- cam controlled ejectors Hotmatic cooling Fast tool changes Operation: fully automated, dependable Combination forging: each stroke produces two partsAMP 50
This machine is used for parts up to 92 mm (3.6 in) in diameter and initial weight ranging from 170 to 1700g (.37 to 3.75 lb). It has a forging rating of 8000 kN (800 t) and produces 100 parts per minute.
AMP 70
This machine is used for parts up to 145 mm (5.7 in) in diameter and weighing from 400 to 5000g (.9 to 11 lb). Its forging rating: 15,000 kN (1500 t). Output: 50 or 80 per minute.
Machine Specifications
Information:
One Hotmatic installation with a crew of four can produce what five forging lines and 25 people used to produce.
Labor Savings:
Labor savings of this order are nothing unusual: a German ball bearing maker replaced seven forging machines with a Hotmatic and cut his work force by 44 people on two shifts. These savings alone paid for the installation in less than two years. Less Loss of Raw Material:
But Hotmatics don't just save labor, they save raw material as well. A plant in England, for example, saved 2240 tons of steel the first year it used a Hotmatic. Hotmatic parts are much more precise than drop forgings, so less metal is wasted on machining allowances.

Less Machining:
And because the parts are more accurate and closer to the final shape, machining becomes easier. An American auto maker cut machining costs on transmission parts by 70% when he started producing the blanks on a Hotmatic installation.
Hotmatics are highly versatile and can be changed over quickly.
