Forging Press Repair & Rebuilding: Disassembly & Inspection
A forging press repair or rebuilding project at Campbell, Inc. begins with the disassembly, inspection and engineering of the parts and components. Parts are thoroughly cleaned, checked for wear, cracks and dimensional integrity. An inspection report is provided detailing our findings and calling out anything that may impact the project or cause a change in scope or cost.
Forging Press Repair & Rebuilding: Welding of Parts
Due to the hight cost and low availability of replacement parts repairing damaged or worn forging press parts is a very productive and cost effective idea. Our forging press repair work involves welding worn, damaged or broken parts. We are able to perform weld repairs on cast iron, cast steel, forged or fabricated steel parts. Cracks are cut out and then welded or brazed. Successful forging press repair welding involves proper preparation, preheat, the selection of welding materials and welding proceedures used is critical as is the stress relieving of the part. We at Campbell Inc. have refined our steps and procedures over the years to provide the highest quality welding services in the industry for forging press repair.
Forging Press Repair & Rebuilding: Machining of Parts
Forging press repair involves machining on welded parts, fabricated and cast parts or forged material. We understanding the proper clearances and tolerances demanded by the different forging presses. Our engineering staff will work with you on selecting the best materials for the different forging press parts to insure the longevity of the finished components.
Forging Press Repair & Rebuilding: Assembly & Testing
When rebuilding forging presses or repairing forging press parts the finished components will first be checked for size and quality before the sub assemblies fit together. On forging press rebuilds the sub assemblies will then be installed in the frame, adjusted for proper running clearance and operation. Rebuilt forging presses will be test run in our plant before final customer run off and acceptance.
Forging Press Repair & Rebuilding: Controls, Lube Systems, Clutches & Upgrades
Forging press rebuilding will typically include installing new controls, lube systems, pneumatics and some times automation. Often, rebuilding forging presses that are older will provide a better return on investment than newer presses because of their heavier construction and durability. A good heavy older press can be returned to OEM running specifications and then be upgraded with all the latest in controls and operating systems that the new presses have and provide the customer with a great value for their investment.
