Automation Systems for the Steel Casting / Foundry Industries.

METAL CASTING INOCULATION

We have designed a number of special-purpose wire delivery systems. The smaller unit with six (6) drive rolls can handle up to 3/16" dia or 5mm dia. This unit has been used to inoculate castings with cored wire and has also been used to deliver solid aluminum wire to a six strand continuous steel caster. The control offers safeguards to warn of "out-of-wire" and slippage. These signals can be used to stop an automatic DISI casting line.

Inoculation system to deliver 10 to 25 mm wire

The larger unit is much heavier duty with the capability of handling wire diameters of 10 to 25 mm. This control utilizes an encoder to measure wire speed and was tied into the operating PLC for the casting line. Wire speed and length could be regulated by the system's PLC control.
