The line is delivered as a complete package with configurable cycle-time performance down to 30 s, plant-wide process simulation for material-flow optimization, and a global service network to maximize availability.

After automated billet loading, an integrated sawing unit with an on‑board scale ensures dimensional control for every cut. Induction furnaces provide uniform heating and repeatable thermal conditions, while descaling equipment reliably removes surface scale prior to forging. Together, these features enhance process reliability and create optimal conditions for the subsequent forging step, consistently producing parts that meet the required dimensions and metallurgical properties.

The core machine of the line - the hydraulic piercing and drawing press - delivers tight forging tolerances through precise control of forging parameters and a robust machine design. Its outstanding feature is multifunctionality: upsetting and piercing occur in a single lower die, directly followed by a drawing operation, to produce the long, hollow, closed‑bottom workpiece that serves as the input for the nosing process . The press maintains repeatable force, speed and stroke, while a rigid frame, accurate guides and robust bearings minimize deflection and wear.

The hydraulic nosing press performs the final step, shaping the ogive on the hollow forging. Each workpiece is partially heated and automatically fed into the press for precise, repeatable nosing. The press features a high‑stiffness frame, a simple and robust design, and long operational durability, ensuring reliable production with minimal maintenance requirements.
