The work presents the possibilities of applying modern measuring techniques, classic and coordinate measuring techniques in the forging industry (various stages of technological sequence), with the use of various measuring tools, instruments and machines applied in workshop metrology. The work points to different aspects of measuring techniques used mainly for two groups of objects, emphasizing their important role in the context of safety (achieved forgings-products) and the significant measurement problems due to the extreme conditions in industrial hot forging processes. The first group comprises various measurements of forgings (control during and after forging and mechanical treatment). The second group includes measurements of the forging equipment involving a broadly understood quality control (geometrical characteristics, surface quality etc.), often combined with comprehensive control and durability analysis of forging tools. The work analyzes the possibility and validity of applying scanning techniques for direct control of the quality and change of the geometry of the tools in industrial forging processes, without the necessity of their disassembly, and also measurement systems of temperature, forces and displacement in forging processes.
