The article discusses the possibilities of introducing selected aspects and problems in the robotization of the workstation in the hot die forging process, the production of the yoke forging carried out on a crank press in a manual system. The implementation of the developed solution was performed to increase the production efficiency without lowering the quality and mechanical parameters of the produced forgings and with preserved durability of the forging instrumentation. The conducted investigations included numerous aspects of the whole process line, with a special consideration of the adjustment of the currently realized technology to the working conditions of the robots in reference to the ejector system ensuring proper collection and relocation of the forgings by the manipulator grippers in the consecutive operations. The conduct also included the selection and localization of the robots and the grippers solutions, as well as the changes in the tool construction aiming at adjusting it to the gripper pins as well as collecting the hot charge material from the heater. Implementing robotization into one of the most difficult production processes aimed at replacing the role of a human by transferring the competences from the operator of the die forging process onto a supervising person, where all the activities are realized automatically, thus eliminating the effect of the human factor on the quality of the manufactured product. Additionally, the robotization of the forging process brought a lot of tangible benefits, such as stability and repeatability of the process (reduction of reject rate), as well as increased efficiency and quality of the forgings.
