Foundries are increasingly implementing data-driven process automation to achieve long-term goals such as higher quality, lower waste, maximum runtime and minimum cost. Modeling and casting are fully integrated into digital synchronization and seamless casting, which is especially valuable for short runs of just-in-time production and for castings that frequently change shapes.
As automated systems handle molding and pouring seamlessly into each other, the casting process becomes faster and more consistent in producing high-quality parts. The automatic pouring process includes pouring temperature control and each sand mold inoculant feeding and completion confirmation. This will improve the quality of each casting and reduce the rejection rate. Due to the trend toward just-in-time production, customers with a DISA molding line often need to change plates frequently in a short period of time. With equipment such as DISA's automatic plate changer or quick plate changer, the replacement can be completed in less than a minute.
