The Verkhne-Saldinsk Metallurgical Production Association (VSMPO) and the Science-Engineering Center (in Chelyabinsk) have modernized the hydraulic system of the R800 radial forging machine at the association's production facility. The four-die machine, made by the company SACK, has a pulsator-type hydraulic drive for the dies and a hydraulic-intensifier-based system that compensates for errors in the dimensions of the forged product. The dies are installed on rotating levers. The goals of the modernization, scheduled to coincide with an overhaul of the machine done after more than 20 years of service, were as follows: an improvement in the durability of the machine; an improvement in its efficiency; broadening of its functional capabilities.
