The rapid forging hydraulic press is one of the most important equipment in metallurgical industry. In the actual design and application process, main cylinder and other collaborative module high precision forging machine is one of the important factors to guarantee the high quality of high precision forging. With the development of industry, forging precision forging machine of people also put forward higher requirements, traditional PID control technology has been unable to meet the requirements of high precision fast forging press. In view of this situation, we will present an adaptive fuzzy PID control method applied to the control of fast forging press, through the analysis of the MATLAB simulation and test, the results show that the adaptive fuzzy PID algorithm combines the simplicity and reliability of PID control with the intelligence and flexibility of fuzzy control，and the advantages of traditional PID control and adaptive fuzzy control are given.
