The movement of slide of large table hot die forging hydraulic press is interfered by many factors. The working plane of slide is prone to tilt, which seriously affects the service life of forging die and product quality. It is necessary to conduct real-time tracking measurement and rectification. In view of the shortcomings of the exist slide balance detection methods for large-scale hot die forging press, based on the tilt angle of the moving slider, a dual state detection method of the whole tilt and the deformation of the lower surface is proposed, and designing the sensor node layout that is suitable for this method. Based on ZigBee wireless sensor network, a balance state remote monitoring system of moving slide has been presented, which can detect the balance state of the moving slide in real time. Through the operation experiment of the slide of the large table die forging hydraulic press, the comparison between the remote real-time detection data and the actual working data of the slide shows that the detection accuracy reaches 0. 01 °, The results show that the detection method of the balance state of the slide and the remote monitoring system have certain reference significance for the normal operation of the hot forging hydraulic press.
