Abstract

Due to the increasingly large investrents requested for tooling and equipment, the cold forging technology reeps its levels of competitiveness on the condition that a deep exploitation of the tooling systems is actJieved and forging machines are kept in operation as much of time as possible. The purpose of this research work is to evaluate the importance of the service life of components in the toolinq . systems with respect to production costs. Alternative tool maintenance and replacement policies are presented and discussed together with the techniques for their .simulation and evaluation. The effects of the implementation of preventive maintenance strategies extended toj the overall tooling system are highlighted in terms of equipment downtime and manufacturing costs.
