Foundry Applications

The foundry industry has many complexities and often complex manufacturing processes. In addition, there are often assembly, handling, cleaning and finishing constraints for which the control and inspection mechanisms used quickly reach their limits.

In the more specific context of the casting steel, iron and aluminum parts, the manufacturing process requires at all stages, the implementation of controls during the process, checks of the various characteristics of the parts obtained as well as the control of tools and equipment used.

The need to be able to locate a part at any stage of the process so that a robot can pick it to integrate it into another process is a constraint that only adds to the complexity of the whole. Control of chassis, models, model plates, sandcore mold depends on the quality of the finished products. It is important from this level to control the degree of wear (friction of sand), cleanliness (lack of sand) and many other essential criteria
