Adapting Automation Systems for High-Volume Foundries

March 13, 2016
For two different foundries, automation makes it affordable to process high volumes of castings with the process quality and proficiency that individual grinders cannot maintain.

Safer, more efficient grinding and deburring, with reduced errors and improved safety, thanks to offline programming. Comau and Evolut SpA show the range of their automation capabilities for two different foundries."These operations have different levels of complexity, not only in terms of the specific pieces to be processed, but also the material that must be cut or deburred. This is why the use of the most suitable technology is always essential for us,” according to  Evolut SpA owner Franco Codini.
