In the process of forging metal, part of the energy is used to shape the metal, while the remaining energy is transmitted to the ground, causing significant vibrations. As more high-precision testing equipment and machine tools are installed around forging hammers, it has become an international standard in the forging industry to install spring isolators and viscous dampers at the base of forging hammers.
Spring support is the standard solution for all closed-die forging hammers. Only for machines like drop hammers or other forging hammers that allow only minimal working displacement, is it necessary to add concrete foundation blocks as additional mass, as shown in the diagram.
