Ready for the future!
The right machine for every application
Our casting plants are already prepared for the requirements of the future such as Industry 4.0. The program control unit, the interfaces, and the GSM modem enable communication with other systems. For instance, remote control, online software updating, and robot integration in the casting process are all possible.
Novel filling system
Thanks to its novel filling system, the new VC 680V vacuum pressure casting machine ensures maximum efficiency. With this innovative filling technique, it is no longer necessary to open the melting chamber for the next batch of metal. An automatic metal sensor signals when the material is missing in the feeder and needs replenishing.
Pneumatic bell lock and automatic locking system
The melting chambers of all VC systems are closed with a pneumatic system. VC 650 V and VC 680 V are also equipped with an automatic locking system.
Advantages
- lower personnel costs
- more consistent casting quality
- better process stability, less waste
- optimized overlapping casting
- up to 20 casting cycles per hour
- high energy efficiency
- longer service lives for consumables
- minimized metal loss
- replenishment without loss of pressure
Refilling without loss of temperature and pressure
The refill system with programmable dosing makes it possible to introduce the next batch of metal without the need to open the melting chamber. This ensures that the melting chamber temperature remains high and unnecessary loss of energy is avoided. Most importantly: No oxygen enters the melting chamber so the chamber does not need to be evacuated again and refilled with inert gas. This makes for faster casting cycles; the crucible and sealing rod benefit from the largely constant atmosphere and temperature and have significantly longer service lives.
Ready for future standards
An additional pressure tank integrated into the plant provides for even faster overpressure build-up for activation of the TurboPressure PLUS function.
Controlling the pressure conditions – important for the perfect casting result
Automatic vacuum and overpressure in the melting and cuvette chambers
The vacuum in the melting chamber ensures that the metal is degassed and prevents unwanted oxidation during melting (an oxygen-poor atmosphere is particularly important when melting copper-containing alloys). The vacuum in the cuvette chamber improves mold filling, especially when casting delicate parts, and prevents annoying air pockets. In addition, the system switches to overpressure in the melting chamber, thus increasing the pressure difference.
Oxidation reduction after casting
This special system eliminates the risk of oxidation while the cuvette cools.
