        Mid-West Forge has 10 upsetting forging machines ranging in size from 6 to 10 inches.  We also utilize 5 automated cold extrusion presses for the production process.  Our forging machines are equipped with tonnage monitors, piece temperature monitors, and are integrated using PLC's.     

Tool Room

Mid-West Forge includes a complete tool and die manufacturing facility.  Our machines include CNC Lathes, a CNC Machining Center, a horizontal boring mill, and a wide range of manual machine tools.  Our tool and die manufacturing facility produces our forge tooling, gages, and has the capacity to handle most plant wide repairs.                                                                                                                          

Robots

Robots are used to load and unload production equipment.  The robots are used to reduce operating costs and address ergonomic requirements for the future.  Mid-West is highly automated using miles of continuous automatic conveyors, walking beam conveyors, automatic loaders, automated guided vehicles, and robots to handle the several million axle shaft forgings produced each year.

Finite Element Modeling

Mid-West also incorporates computer-aided simulation of both the forging and extrusion processes.  This simulation allows us to perfect new or enhanced tooling designs before the first piece is made on the production floor.

Computer Aided Drafting / Design

At Mid-West we utilize both 2D and 3D CAD systems for all of our engineering functions.   We also employ computer programs that allow us to design both forge and extrusion tooling to meet our customers product requirements.

Water Treatment Plant

At Mid-West we focus in many areas that allow us to become an environmentally friendly company.  One example of this is our water treatment facility.
