Production Equipment
We use state-of-the art hot forging equipment for our closed die forging process in the manufacture of the most durable and high quality parts available. We continually evaluate and upgrade legacy equipment and put new equipment into service in order to ensure we are producing repeatable, high quality forged components.
Our efficiency begins with our Quick-Change Tooling and Precision Forging System, which is an integral component for the manufacturing of multiple, complex part geometries. At the core of Viking’s technology, the quick-change tooling system allows for 30 minute changeovers. We achieve 1.67 CpK’s which eliminates the need to “chase the forging”, plus positive tool interlocks allow for less stock on the forging. Because of this process, our forgings require less machining.
