Indutherm Industrial VC Series: Large-Scale Casting Solutions
The VC 1000, VC 3000, and VC 12000 are engineered for industrial-grade applications, offering a market-leading value-performance ratio. These machines are the primary choice for automotive and medical sectors when parts require complicated geometries that are not suited for traditional die-casting.
Industrial Performance & Innovation
- Vibration Technology (V-Versions): The "V" versions include 100 casting programs and integrated vibration technology. This innovation reduces grain size by 50% and minimizes porosity, resulting in cast parts with superior tension and elastic properties.
- Turbulence Reduction Software (TRS): A proprietary system that facilitates faster, more consistent metal flow. TRS prevents critical parts of the plaster mold from breaking off during the pour, ensuring inclusions do not compromise the casting.
- Magnesium Casting Versions: Specially constructed versions meet strict safety requirements for the volatile process of magnesium casting, providing a secure environment for melting and pouring.
- Advanced Interface & Data: Equipped with an RS 232 interface, these machines allow for complete data recording. Users can access and print full process records for quality certification and industrial audits.
Large-Scale Technical Specifications
| Feature | Industrial Impact |
|---|---|
| Atmosphere Control | Automatic vacuum and over-pressure in both chambers to prevent oxidation in copper-heavy alloys. |
| Rapid Maintenance | Crucible and stopper rod changes can be performed in a very short time to minimize downtime. |
| Oxidation Mitigation | Specialized cooling systems reduce the risk of oxidation while the cuvette is cooling. |
| Application Range | Ideal for automotive components, orthopedics, machinery construction, and large-scale sculpture. |
From rapid prototyping to factory-floor production, the Industrial VC series delivers high-density, low-porosity results with minimal training required.
