The paper presents selected results of the research related to the development and verification of a multi-purpose construction of forging mill suitable for the following processes: longitudinal roll forging, cross-wedge rolling, and steel bar cropping. Modern CAD/CAE numerical tools have been used to facilitate the design and analysis of the construction. The designed forging mill is characterized by high versatility due to the possibility of two different kinematic processes of roll forging (longitudinal and transverse) as well as semi-products waste-free cropping. Its technological capabilities are considerably higher as compared to the machines currently used in industry. Verification of adopted construction solutions was made during the commissioning tests. The achieved results have fully confirmed the usefulness of multi-task forging mill for rolling forgings and preforms as well as cropping process.
