A system for transporting material is provided. The system includes a container and a robot having a material-handling device for inserting the material into the container and removing the material from the container. The system also includes a track assembly having a track and at least one platform on which the robot and the container are mounted such that the robot and the container are movable along the track via the at least one platform.

A forging apparatus includes an ironing mechanism and a phase alignment mechanism. The ironing mechanism includes: a punch set, which is fitted into a cylindrical portion of a pre-processing material to be formed into the outer joint member, and is radially expandable and contractible, the cylindrical portion having grooves formed in an inner peripheral surface thereof; and a die having a hole into which the cylindrical portion is press-fitted. The phase alignment mechanism is configured to align phases of the grooves in the inner peripheral surface of the pre-processing material and phases of track groove portion forming surfaces of the punch set with each other before the pre-processing material is fitted to the punch set.

A forming apparatus includes a movable frame, a first arm that is supported by the movable frame to be capable of oscillating, a second arm that is supported by the first arm to be capable of oscillating, a holding unit that is capable of holding an object to be formed supported by the second arm, a first oscillating mechanism that applies an oscillating operation to the first arm, a second oscillating mechanism that applies an oscillating operation to the second arm, and a moving mechanism that applies a moving operation to the movable frame in at least one direction.

A forging and pressing production systems enables at least one material to be formed by hot melt and forging and pressing by itself without human operation, thereby completing the mass production of the material. Operating factors such as the pressure, temperature and mold required for formation are taken into account, and the identification requirements for the material are reduced, thereby realizing large-scale production.
