By the China Heavy Machinery Research Institute (formerly the Xi'an Heavy Machinery Research Institute) design and technical director, Shanghai Heavy Machinery Plant Co., Ltd. manufacturing 16500 tons of free forging hydraulic press have been in Shanghai heavy machine factory installed, and successfully entered the commissioning phase. This marks the final stage of the construction of the production line of the world's largest free forging press, which is designed and manufactured by our country, and has completely independent intellectual property rights.

The oil hydraulic press automation degree is greatly improved, with forging 600 tons forgings of over capacity, the demand for large forgings for key projects to meet the large-scale nuclear power, thermal power, hydropower, ships, chemicals, machinery manufacturing, and other relations in our country economic construction and national defense and national security. The hydraulic machine in the development process of fully draw lessons from the successful development experience of domestic free forging hydraulic press by world advanced technology and method, and according to the actual situation of the domestic large-scale equipment manufacturing, from large castings and forgings material selection, processing, heat treatment,, transportation, installation, commissioning of all aspects, to capture the 10 key technologies, and there are a number of technological innovation, China's development has greatly enhanced the ability of large forging equipment. 16500 tons of free forging hydraulic press machine successfully developed, is in line with the development trend of international free forging hydraulic press, also meet the large free forging to numerical control, high precision and professional development needs. Oil pump direct drive valve control compressor is pump ready station transmission hydraulic press with forging speed controllability and control system reliability, energy consumption saving, economy of production and operation and maintenance convenience of use and other advantages, to leading technology, reliable performance, energy saving and emission reduction objective. Before China Heavy Machinery Research Institute and Shanghai heavy machinery plant joint has successfully developed the our country currently only 10000 tons and 12500 tons double action hydraulic aluminum extrusion equipment, is China's large industrial aluminum profiles production has provided a guarantee.

Jointly developed by China Heavy Machinery Research Institute and Shanghai Heavy Machinery Factory million ton forging and extrusion equipment effectively alleviate the situation of China's aerospace, defense, transportation, shipbuilding, electric power and machinery manufacturing, and other industry is badly in need of large forging products, significantly improve the production level of our country large-scale free forging and large industrial aluminum profiles, the development level of China's large forging equipment is located in the forefront of the international. To promote China's major equipment manufacturing industry technological progress and large forging equipment industry, and comprehensively improve China's major equipment manufacturing industry overall level is of great strategic significance.
