Abstract: This paper deals with possibility of multidirectional forming. During design process of new de-
vice for multidirectional forming it is necessary to consider optimal usage of material and resistance
against loading during technological operation. Design of new equipment for multidirectional forging is
here performed. It is designed starting from idea of using standard hydraulic free forging press with up-
per drive as additional device. Forming with increased accuracy is nowadays highly requested by all
companies and producers have to improve design of forging machines. These better forged parts can be
produced with lower cost as normal parts. It is caused by fewer machining operations. New design of
multidirectional forming has better dynamic resistance. It is suitable for dynamic and shock loading. The
solution is done by using finite element method in all simulations. Also all simulations are validated by
comparing with real measurement during forging operation. The paper presents the basic design of mul-
tidirectional forging device and also the main parts that are checked in terms of strength and displace-
ment. Also, the whole device had undergone dynamic analysis. This analysis shows suitability for high-
speed forging with frequency up to 100 strokes per minute.
Key words: Multidirectional forging, simulation, measurement, hydraulic press, modal analysis, me-
chanical stress, multiway.
1. INTRODUCTION1
Multidirectional forming is a progressive and modern
way how to produce forgings with complex shape. It is
possible to make products which are not possible to make
using other technologies. Using multidirectional forging
produces less material waste material than conventional
machining of forgings [1−3].
4. CONCLUSIONS
Because our research centre already improved design
of the hydraulic forging press CKV 200 MN, this press
was chosen as suitable for adding new multidirectional
forging device. Also, the producer of this press wants to
add this to the portfolio.
We have done a structural design of the multiway de-
vice and validated all simulations by comparing one of
them with real measurement. The problem is that of the
pressure of hydraulic cylinder (42 MPa). This pressure is
not possible to fully meet the requirements of the as-
signment. To this device it is necessary to add pressure
multiplication that leads to working pressure at least of
60 MPa. At this pressure, the diameter of cylinders and
also whole multidirectional forging device can be
smaller.
It is obvious that adding the multidirectional forging
device will reduce the size of the working stroke of the
hydraulic press.
It should also be taken into account that during multi-
directional forging the columns of press are not only
loaded along axis on tension, but also bended. The
maximal Von-Mises stress is under maximal allowable

Application of multidirectional forging device is suit-
able for forging presses with wide distance between
columns in direction perpendicular to the axis of the
table.
In future, this basic design will be more precisely de-
veloped and with the aid of producer’s facilities a proto-
type will be achieved. It would be also possible to check
properties on reduced model mounted on our working
educational hydraulic press. Because factories producing
special forming machines are interested in this technol-
ogy, research will continue and also some results will be
covered by patent protection.
