Indutherm VC Series: Advanced Precision Casting
The Indutherm VC series offers a versatile range of casting systems, from semi-automatic units to fully automated industrial solutions. Designed for uncompromising quality, these systems use sophisticated functional details to optimize every cast based on its individual metallurgical properties.
Optimized Workflow & "Overlapping" Casting
Efficiency is at the core of the VC series design. By utilizing separate locking systems for the melting and cuvette chambers, the machine enables an "overlapping" pouring process:
- Simultaneous Processing: While a finished cuvette cools in the vacuum chamber, the next batch can be filled and heated immediately.
- Time Savings: Significant reduction in cycle times compared to traditional single-chamber systems.
- Pneumatic Handling: Equipped with pneumatic bell locks and automatic chamber lifts for flange-free cuvette removal and ergonomic operation.
Intelligent Program Control
Achieve certified production quality with minimal training. The VC series features a full-text LCD control panel that simplifies complex casting cycles:
| Cycle Memory | Store up to 100 unique casting programs for consistent results. |
| Alloy Presets | Pre-programmed parameters for leading alloys including Legor, Heraeus, and Pandor. |
| Data Logging | Integrated data printer and RS 232 interface for precise process documentation. |
Advanced Pressure & Oxidation Management
The VC series masters the atmospheric conditions required for a perfect cast:
- Automatic Vacuum/Overpressure: Degasses metal in the melting chamber to prevent oxidation (crucial for copper alloys) while enhancing mold filling in the cuvette chamber.
- Turbo Pressure PLUS: Delivers a rapid, precisely timed pressure build-up—perfect for delicate filigree or stone-in-place casting.
- Turbulence Reduction Software (TRS): Ensures a consistent metal flow, protecting the plaster mold from erosion and preventing inclusions.
- Oxidation Reduction: A specialized system that protects the cuvette from oxygen exposure during the critical cooling phase.
Future-Ready Integration
Equipped with advanced interface management, the VC series supports remote maintenance and service, ensuring your equipment stays updated with future industrial standards and networking capabilities.
