China Heavy Machinery Research Institute Co., Ltd. announced in 2017 that after several years of scientific research and technological innovation, they have successfully developed the world's largest forging manipulator. This forging manipulator named "Kirin Arm", with its strong clamping ability and high-precision positioning technology, once again demonstrates my country's leading position in the global forging technology field.

It is reported that the length, width and height of this forging operator are 25 meters, 10.9 meters and 8.6 meters respectively, and the weight is about 1160 tons. When working at full load, the moving weight can reach 1500 tons. Its core technical parameters are even more remarkable, and its clamping capacity has reached 300 tons, far exceeding the clamping capacity of 250 tons of the largest forging manipulator in the world. This major breakthrough not only improves the production capacity of China's large forgings, but also injects new vitality into the development of China's manufacturing industry.

As the world's first 3000kN/7500kNm large forging manipulator, "Kirin Arm" has completely independent intellectual property rights. Its overall technology has reached the international advanced level, and its core control technology such as clamping capacity and positioning accuracy is at the international leading level. This forging manipulator is a giant heavy-duty special robot with six degrees of freedom. With the forging hydraulic press, it can complete the forging of key products such as large tube sections, nuclear power rotating shafts, support rollers, etc.

This achievement of China Heavy Machinery Research Institute Co., Ltd. has been strongly supported by the national science and technology major special project "high-end CNC machine tools and basic manufacturing equipment special project. At the same time, it has also been highly appraised by the national major special acceptance team and the provincial science and technology department achievement appraisal experts. They believe that the successful development of this forging manipulator has played an important supporting role in promoting my country's large forging manufacturing and large forging equipment technology to catch up with the world's advanced level.

With the continuous development of the global manufacturing industry, the demand for large and super-large forgings is increasing. The forging manipulator of China Heavy Machinery Research Institute Co., Ltd. will provide strong support for the development of China's manufacturing industry. At the same time, it will also contribute Chinese wisdom and strength to the development of global manufacturing.
