Tools of the Trade
The 100 year old forging process creates stronger parts than those manufactured by any other metalworking process. When combined with modern technology this proven process yields the strongest, most reliable and sophisticated parts available today. We meet our customers’ needs by operating a full range of equipment. The traditional hammers, anvils and bellows which served blacksmiths well in the past have transformed through modern technology. At Pacific Forge, we use only the most up-to-date equipment in order to produce superior, custom-made products. Whatever our customers need: we have the best tools to make it!
Hammers
Forms metal into shape with controlled high pressure impact blows.
• Steam-drop forging hammers ranging in size from 3,000 to 16,000 pounds
Presses
Forms metal into shape vertically with controlled high impact mechanical force
• 2500T Ajax mechanical forging press
Upsetters
A horizontal press.
• 2 ½ inch upset capability
Furnaces
Replacing the hearth and bellows are these highly controlled forge furnaces
• Calibrated to ANSI/NSCL Z540-1
• Certified to AMS H-6875.
The Pacific Forge Process
Customer Request
It all begins in the Engineering Department. Before any die is set, our customers sit down with our engineers to work through the initial design. We encourage concurrent engineering for design so our customers' requests are met with precision.
Mechanical Design
Once the project concept is determined, we take it through an extensive engineering and mechanical design process. Our engineers utilize Auto CAD 2016, CATIA V5-6 R2015, Desk Inventor 2016 and ForgING Simulation software to design dies, create blueprints, and simulate the forging process prior to the actual production run.
Simulation Process
Our engineers use modern technology to solve all potential problems before the part is completed.
Production
We use state-of-the-art machinery for product production. We perform secondary processes on site including grinding, shot blasting, hardness testing, magnetic particle inspection, trimming and coining.
