ELECTRIC CONTROL

OF CASTING AND
PERIPHERAL SYSTEMS

Electrical interlocking according to requirement DIN EN1247 in radio operation

DIN EN 1247 states unequivocally, “Ladles must be equipped with safety devices to prevent ladle rotation. Such a device may only be unlocked immediately prior to pouring.“ Instead of philosophizing about the design possibilities “immediately before pouring“, we have developed an electrical locking device which makes it possible to remotely unlock the locking of the ladle even at great heights above molding boxes or casting pits which cannot be reached or reached only with difficulty. In combination with our electric ladle drive, tilting of the ladle is only possible in unlocked condition.

  • Electric linear actuator type KAZ
  • Electrically driven locking mimic
  • Locking point on the ladle
Weighing system
An exact determination of the melt weight and the transmission of the data in real time to superordinate recording systems or stationary displays are the basis of an optimal process. This data is of elementary importance for occupational safety protection and the quality of subsequent production processes.

With our weighing system in the load bolt of the ladle, you have permanent control over the weight of the ladle contents. Additional weighing systems on crane systems or forklift trucks are not required and therefore do not reduce the load capacity of the load handling system.

  • Permanent weight display in real time
  • No reduction of the permissible total weight of the load carrying system
  • Radio-based or wired data transmission
Dosing and wire-feeding systems

Due to a multitude of usable sensor technologies, the fully automatic sequence of processes in an ever increasing vertical range of manufacture is possible. We use such technologies in order to provide you with an optimal resource-saving process in production areas with safety issues or in highly sensitive areas.

The plant shown here, which consists of a dosing system for aggregates and a wire-feeding system with two wire-feeding machines, enables automated process sequences through such links. Using the melt analysis as a basis, further processes such as melt correction and melt treatment are automatically controlled and centrally monitored.

Independent of the operator, all production relevant data is transferred to the appropriate interfaces in real time. By connecting to a central network or operating data system via profibus connections, all parameters required for the manufacturing process can be analyzed, controlled and influenced.

Benefits for the operator:
  • Real-time process monitoring
  • Display of parameters such as melting temperature, melt analysis and weight
  • Computer-based independent evaluation and correction of the melt according to specifications
  • Documentation of the processes and creation of quality protocols per batch
