Manual air, lubricant and water spraying system in forging presses seems to be inconsistent and the consumption of water and lubricant is higher. This project deals with the automation of a forging hammer and forging press, which senses the vibrations on the forging press and actuates the sprayer on the die. The proposed system was tested successfully on a forging press and observed significant results in terms of quality and acceptance rate.
