As an important equipment for shipping manufacturing, isothermal forging hydraulic press plays a significant role in heavy forging production in the field of military defense and aerospace. In the process of design and utilize the isothermal forging hydraulic press, the reliability of the equipment should be guaranteed for a stable operation. On the other hand, the efficiency of design and experiment should be improved to cut the cost. Taking THP11D-20000 made by Tianjin Tian Duan Press Co., LTD as an example, this paper conducts a reliability analysis of its structure on the basis of workbench, which demonstrates that the major components of this equipment have met the reliability requirements. Difference between the result of finite element analysis and that of experiments is less than 5%, which provides effective methods and reliable basis for adopting the method of finite element analysis to explore the reliability of heavy equipment.
