Automatic Casting Production Line(core setting, pouring, parts taking)
Brief Automatic Casting Production Line
The equipment in the unit line (except articulated robots) is independentlydeveloped, processed and manufactured by our company.
This unit is an automatic production unit, which aims to complete the core setting, liquid aluminium quantitative scooping, automatic pouring, casting cooling and parts taking for customersThe automatic pouring unit of aluminium alloy castings consists of different types of pouring positions (2-4 foundry machines), feeding levels (two heat preservation furnaces), a set of core assembly devices, a pouring robot, a ladle cleaning station, picking up positions and other auxiliary parts. Each device is connected by a robot.
When pouring, the robot drives the pouring arm, and the servo motor on the pouring arm drives the pouring spoon to rotate to realize the pouring of liquid aluminium and the cleaning of the pouring spoon. The spoon can move freely and conveniently in the effec tive space. The spoon's rotation is used for pouring and quantitative scooping and cleaning. Each movement is driven by a servo motor to complete the corresponding transmission mechanism. The spoon has uniform speed and smooth movement in operation. The amount of soup remained unchanged with the change of liquid level, depending on the quantitative rotation angle of the positioning probe and spoon, and the repetition accuracy was high. Several foundry machines in the pouring unit can ladle different weight of liquid aluminium according to the setting.
The core setting and parts taking are completed by a down-looking Joint Robot. The lower core gripper and the back-to-back of the pick-up gripper are integrated, and the gripper is selected according to the equipment signal and the rotation of the joint robot head to complete the corresponding action. The robot can move in a straight line (servo control) on the truss to cover multiple casting stations. The down-looking robot has high flexibility, which can effectively avoid the breakage of sand core in the process of handling.
The whole unit line is equipped with perfect mechanical guardrail, photoelectric protection and signal interlocking protection.
In modern manufacturing, the demand for high-quality, lightweight, and durable metal components continues to rise across industries such as automotive, aerospace, and industrial machinery. Traditional casting methods often struggle to maintain dimensional accuracy and structural integrity under high-temperature conditions, especially when working with aluminum, magnesium, and other non-ferrous alloys. The High-Temperature Durable J338 Tilting Gravity Casting Machine addresses these challenges by combining robust construction, precise tilting control, and advanced thermal management to produce defect-free castings at scale.
Global manufacturing sectors are increasingly prioritizing high-precision and high-performance components. Engine blocks, transmission housings, structural brackets, and pump casings are examples of parts where material integrity and dimensional accuracy are critical. Conventional gravity casting machines may face challenges such as shrinkage defects, porosity, or thermal fatigue, especially under continuous high-temperature operations.
The need for durable, high-temperature casting solutions has led manufacturers to adopt specialized tilting gravity casting machines. By ensuring controlled mold filling and stable thermal management, these machines provide consistent quality and minimize scrap, supporting cost-effective production.
Tilting gravity casting leverages the principle of controlled molten metal flow into the mold by gradually tilting the crucible or mold. This approach reduces turbulence, prevents gas entrapment, and ensures uniform solidification. The J338 model integrates several key technologies:
High-Temperature Resistant Materials: Crucibles, riser tubes, and molds are lined with refractory materials that withstand repeated thermal cycles.
Precise Tilting Mechanism: Controlled tilt angle and speed ensure consistent metal flow, reducing defects and improving surface finish.
Thermal Management System: Sensors monitor molten metal and mold temperatures to prevent cold shuts, hot spots, and uneven microstructure formation.
Automated Monitoring and Control: Real-time data acquisition enables process optimization and predictive maintenance.
These technologies collectively enhance casting quality, operational safety, and machine reliability.
The J338 machine features a robust steel frame designed to withstand high-temperature operations and mechanical stress. Its tilting crucible or mold assembly is reinforced with heat-resistant and wear-resistant materials, ensuring long service life.
Performance highlights include:
Controlled tilting for smooth mold filling
High-temperature operation capability without compromising dimensional accuracy
Support for aluminum, magnesium, and other non-ferrous alloys
High repeatability and minimal cycle-to-cycle variation
The combination of precise tilt control and thermal stability enables manufacturers to produce complex castings with superior surface quality and structural integrity.
Several critical factors influence the quality and performance of high-temperature tilting gravity casting:
Tilt Precision: Incorrect tilt speed or angle can induce turbulence, air entrapment, or incomplete filling.
Thermal Stability: Temperature fluctuations in the molten metal or mold can cause shrinkage defects, cold shuts, or uneven microstructure.
Gating and Riser Design: Optimized gating ensures uniform metal flow and solidification.
Alloy Characteristics: Each alloy type responds differently to temperature and flow conditions, requiring adjustable process parameters.
Effective monitoring and automated control in the J338 mitigate these variables to achieve consistent high-quality results.
Selecting a reliable supplier for high-temperature tilting gravity casting machines is crucial. Key considerations include:
Quality of refractory and wear-resistant components
Experience with alloy-specific casting processes
Compliance with international safety and quality standards
Technical support for installation, training, and maintenance
A dependable supplier ensures minimal downtime, consistent casting quality, and long-term operational reliability.
Even with advanced machines, manufacturers face challenges:
Maintaining consistent quality during prolonged high-temperature operations
Managing thermal fatigue and wear in molds and crucibles
Integrating automated systems into existing production lines
Operator training to effectively utilize automated controls and monitoring features
Addressing these challenges requires a combination of robust machine design, skilled personnel, and disciplined process management.
The J338 model is widely applicable across industries requiring precision and durability:
Automotive: Engine blocks, transmission housings, suspension components
Aerospace: Lightweight structural brackets, housings, and control components
Industrial Equipment: Pump and motor housings, compressor components
Energy Sector: Castings exposed to high thermal cycling and mechanical stress
In these applications, the J338 machine delivers consistent casting quality, minimizes scrap rates, and supports high-volume production with superior efficiency.
The high-temperature tilting gravity casting industry is moving toward increased automation, digitalization, and sustainability:
Integration with manufacturing execution systems (MES) for real-time process monitoring
Predictive maintenance using sensor data to reduce unexpected downtime
Energy-efficient heating systems and optimized tilt mechanisms
Enhanced compatibility with recycled alloys and environmentally sustainable materials
Future development focuses on smarter automation, improved energy efficiency, and continued enhancement of casting quality under demanding high-temperature conditions.
