Sand Prefill System
Sand Prefill System for applying bed sand to the flask. This enables cluster insertion prior to fill/compact. The prefill system allows more fill/compact time and/or faster cycle time. Also, a Cluster Insertion Station will be provided for the insertion of the assembled cluster into the flask. This allows the preferred orientation of the cluster for the fill/compact cycle, pouring and/or dumping process.
-
Flask Fill
The system will be designed using the most advanced technology currently available for controlling sand fill at the compaction station. The operation of this equipment will be integrated with and controlled by the compaction system’s control.
-
Airlock Cluster Insertion System
This system is capable of automatically loading one foam cluster into the flask at the compaction station for two complete cycles before reloading. The system includes a shuttle table, vertical lift and rotating frame assembly.
-
Coating Premix Tank
The premix tank will be located outside of the robot’s enclosure to provide normal operation, without interruption, during the operator’s loading of the premix tank. When required, the operator selects the desired coating tank, initiates and stops pumping the premix solution to the coating tank. This allows the operator to maintain control of the mixture level in the coating tanks.
-
Coating Tank
The Coating Tank is a vessel for dipping clusters in coating. Vessel, mixer, heating system, and controls are specifically designed for the lost foam process. The system provides more accurate control of the coating process for repeatability.
