The C22 AN Automatic Coreshooter is designed for the efficient production of cores utilizing cold-box processes with an emphasis on the gassing operation for curing. This machine incorporates advanced features for precision, safety, and user control, making it an optimal choice for manufacturers in the casting industry.
Key Features:
Hydraulic Clamping System: The machine features an adjustable right-side clamp that remains mechanically fixed after regulation. The left-side clamp incorporates a smart recognition system operated by a hydraulic proportional valve with electronic control for enhanced positioning accuracy.
Core Evacuation Belt:
The belt can move up and down, controlled by a hydraulic cylinder equipped with a position recognition system.
Bidirectional movement allows operators to place foam pillows on the belt to cradle delicate cores, minimizing the risk of damage during handling.
Hydraulic Ejection Unit:
Equipped with four chromium guides to ensure smooth ejection of cores.
The movement of the tape can be selected as unidirectional or bidirectional via a simple command sequence from the operator.
Safety Features: The machine is fully guarded with perimeter access doors, which are controlled by safety switches to prevent unauthorized access during operation.
Integrated Gas Generator: An optional gas generator is built into the cabinet for enhanced operational efficiency.
Hydraulic Unit: Includes an air/oil exchanger with a cooling capacity of 4500 kcal/hour and a flow rate of 40 liters/minute, maintaining optimal operating temperatures.
Control Panel:
The integrated control panel is equipped with a Siemens S7 PLC and an OP277 display, featuring multilingual software with programmable recipes. Users can adjust various parameters, including:
Type of Head Shot: Options include eyelet, hole, or inserts.
Insert Specifications: For example, different types of inserts such as insert 11.
Shooting Options: Single or double shooting with respective charging times.
Pressure Settings: Indicate required shooting, gassing, and purging pressures.
