The development of a fuzzy control system for a closed-die hot-forging machine is described. Details of the input and output fuzzy variables and the fuzzy inference procedure are given. Results obtained using the fuzzy control system are presented. These demonstrate the ability of the system accurately to control the amount of energy delivered to the workpiece to keep it within narrow tolerances without overloading the die.
