Indutherm VC Large-Scale Series: Capacity & Power
Our large-scale vacuum pressure casting machines are the industry standard for precision casting, particularly with aluminum alloys and high-performance metals. These systems are the premier choice for complex geometries and low-to-medium volume production where traditional die-casting is not cost-effective.
Revolutionary Vibration Technology
Available on all "V" models, the Indutherm Vibration System is a breakthrough in metallurgical quality. By applying targeted vibration during the casting process, the system ensures:
- Superior Form Filling: Improved material flow for intricate details.
- Enhanced Material Density: More uniform grain structures and significantly reduced porosity.
- Refined Metallurgy: Up to 50% smaller grain sizes, reducing the risk of hot cracks and breakages.
- Better Mechanical Properties: Improved tension and elasticity, making post-processing faster and more efficient.
Performance & Efficiency
| User-Centric Design | Engineered for ease of use with minimal training required. Features rapid-change crucible and stopper rod systems to minimize downtime. |
| Advanced Control | RS 232 interface technology allows for full data logging, real-time monitoring, and printed process certification. |
| Atmospheric Precision | Automatic vacuum and overpressure control in both chambers prevents oxidation and eliminates air pockets. |
Versatility Across Industries
From automotive components and medical technology to orthopedics and fine art sculpture, the VC 1000, VC 3000, and VC 12000 deliver top-tier performance. Specialized Magnesium versions are also available, built to the strictest safety requirements for handling reactive metals.
Turbulence Reduction Software (TRS)
The integrated TRS system facilitates a faster, more consistent metal flow. By smoothing the transition of molten metal into the mold, it prevents plaster mold erosion and ensures that no investment fragments become trapped in your final casting.
