Introduction: An automated, or flaskless, molding machine uses the same principles as the conventional casting mahcines. An automatic machine automates the insertion of the match pla
te, the filling of the mold with sand, the compression and separation of the two halves (called the cope and drag) and the removal of the match plate. The machine then sends the prepared mold down a conveyor for pouring.
The �heart� of the foundry is the automatic molding system and the �heart� of the molding system is the molding machine. It is imperative that the molding machine be of a design that will consistently and reliably produce quality molds at or above the required rates. EMI has the ability to provide molding machines of �tried and proven� design concepts incorporating the most current controls capabilities to ensure foundries their best opportunity for a reliable and profitable operation.
Selection of the automated molding machine: The type of molding process selected to produce a particular part is influenced by many things: the complexity and specifications for the part, material requirements, allowable part tolerances, the number of parts to be molded, and the economic restrictions of the project.
When it comes to metallurgical capabilities to determine the optimal gating and risering system,computerized solidification modeling can be use. This saves time and money by eliminating the trial and error often associated with casting a new or intricate part. Once your part is approved for production.
Application: All types of casting process
Advantages:
- Moldign machines can be custom made that are easily understood and maintained.
- Molding systems increases the rate of production upto 300 molds per hour.
