Sand core handling is a very delicate task and robots are perfectly suited for this application. Fragile, heavy and complex shaped cores can be handled by robots with precision . Some of the applications in sand core handling are
- Core pick and place from core shooters
- Core inspection
- Core trimming
- Core assembly
- Core dipping
Large sand cores used in commercial truck engine blocks can weight upto 400Kgs. These cores need to be handled for dipping and assembly. High payload foundry specification robots equipped with specialized grippers significantly reduce the breakage of cores.
BENEFITS OF ROBOTIC SAND CORE HANDLING
- Reduced breakage and chipping of cores
- Elimination of operators exposed to silica dust
- Precision placement of cores into moulds resulting in better quality castings
