Forging is the controlled defamation of metal into specific shapes by the use of compressive forces. These forces are applied through tools driven mainly by hammers. They form the work piece by high-velocity impact. However, this can be extremely dangerous and one has to be very careful in following the safety protocol. If you want to stay in one piece when the shift ends. In this video, we can see one of the most powerful hammers in the forging industry called – “The Axe”. This hammer can lay into any material that needs to be formed with force, and it has a lot of it, 3-tons of it.
Those 3 tons of force are enough to do some serious industrial crushing. As we said, you need to be extremely careful around this powerful machine. If you are not careful enough, you can end up with fewer limps. The longer you watch this thing operating, it becomes more and more terrifying to watch. It`s really one devilish piece of machinery. The sound it produces is diabolical as well. We really can`t fathom how this workers are not using hearing protection. The precision of this industrial crusher is staggering as well. Check out this amazing Russian hammer that is definitely one of the most powerful in the forging industry.
