A tool installation aid for installing a tool into a press includes a holding console attachable to a press, and a tool-changing plate in or on which a tool is attachable, wherein the tool-changing plate can be placed onto a receiving element of the holding console, a drive device, drivable by a motor or manually, is disposed in the tool-changing plate and by way of which the tool-changing plate is displaceable on the receiving element in the direction toward the press to be transferred from the receiving element onto the clamping plate of the press, the drive device includes at least one driven first drive element, and the receiving element includes at least one non-driven second drive element, the first and second drive elements being operatively connected for displacing the tool-changing plate.

The present invention provides a forging and pressing production management method, comprising the steps of: A. acquiring at least one characteristic of a fed material; B. correspondingly selecting, according to the characteristic of the material, at least one of the temperature, the pressure or a mold from among operating factors of the forging and pressing process; C. transporting the material according to the selection result; and D. processing the material until a finished product is produced. The present invention 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.

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.
