For users of gravity die casting equipment, this means reduced manual intervention of operators during the core setting phase as well as less need for auxiliary equipment such as supports.

Previously, an operator would position the core manually on a dedicated support, paying particular attention to the correct positioning of the core. With the new system, cores no longer need dedicated supports that would have to be built or bought especially. This, and the reduction of manual intervention, translates into cost and time savings in the production cycle.

How it works
Through a 3D scan, the system detects the type, position and orientation of the cores on the tray. The information is given to the robot that automatically orientates the gripper to pick the next core.

Where different castings are produced, and consequently different cores are needed, the system is able to recognise the right type of core and introduce it correctly into the production cycle.

During the core picking phase, the system also checks the integrity of the core. If it is intact, the core is passed on and positioned for the core setting operation; if it is defective, the robot automatically ejects the core from the production cycle and transports it to a waste unloading area.

The solution is part of Italpresse Gauss''s Industry 4.0 efforts, providing cutting-edge systems ready for integration - to meet the needs of customers who are looking to use digital technology well to maintain their competitive edge. 压铸展-铸造展-2020第二十一届广州国际压铸、铸造及工业炉展览会-中国最受关注的压铸铸造展会-巨浪展览 -The 21st China(Guangzhou) Die-casting, Foundry & Industry Furnace Exhibition -Die-casting exhibition, Die-casting expo,2020 Die-casting exhibition, 2020 Die-casting expo, China Die-casting exhibition, China Die-casting expo, Foundry exhibition, Foundry expo, 2020 Foundry exhibition, 2020 Foundry expo, Industry Furnace exhibition, Industry Furnace expo, 2020 Industry Furnace exhibition, 2020 Industry Furnace expo, China Industry Furnace exhibition, China Industry Furnace expo
