Foundry Automation Applications
Machine Tending
Machine tending automation uses robotic arms to load and unload cast parts from CNC machines, furnaces, and molds. These systems eliminate manual handling near heat sources, reducing accidents and fatigue. Robots provide consistent positioning and cycle times, ensuring precise machining operations.
Casting Automation
Casting automation controls molten metal pouring, mold loading, and cooling processes using smart pouring systems and robotic precision. It minimizes metal wastage and prevents overflows or inaccurate fill levels. High-temperature robots precisely manage risers, sprues, and gating removal.
Forging Automation
Forging automation uses robots to handle billets, load furnaces, operate forging presses, and transfer parts between stations. These robots withstand high impact forces and extreme temperatures, enabling stable and repeatable forging operations. Automated systems optimize press timing and positioning,
Core-Shop Automation
Core-shop automation integrates sand core making, curing, handling, coating, inspection, and assembling using robots and controlled machines. It eliminates inconsistencies caused by manual handling and reduces core breakage during transport.
