LOW PRESSURE CASTER T
The Fill LOW PRESSURE CASTER T is a low-pressure casting machine for producing high-quality aluminum castings. In addition to offering more clamping surface and stroke with a smaller footprint, it also provides unique advantages in terms of cleaning, coating and maintenance. The mold is easily visible and accessible from the operator’s side.
The concept
The core is loaded into the mold automatically or manually. After closing the mold, it is filled with aluminum using the low-pressure casting process. Once the casting has solidified, the upper part of the mold is lifted and swung open, and the casting can be removed automatically or manually,.
If necessary, the upper part of the mold can be moved toward the operator after swinging open, which greatly increases accessibility for maintenance purposes (coating). Similarly, the lower part of the mold can be swiveled toward the operator for maintenance purposes.
Features
- Compact design
- Low height compared to conventional LPC machines
- Upper part can be swiveled (open book position)
- Lower part can be swiveled
- Coating / cleaning position can be freely selected depending on operator height
- Shorter cycle times due to fast mold opening (9 seconds opening time)
- Closed force frame through pinning
- Mold change from above possible with indoor crane
- Mold change possible with forklift
- Mechanical synchronization of upper part demolding stroke
- Automatic docking of cooling circuits
- 60 cooling circuits
- Automatic clamping of upper and lower mold part
- Measuring system ejector
