- Adaptability and flexibility
- Cost savings and improved economic benefits
Improve production efficiency
- Work without taking a break
- Adapt to new production needs
Industrial robots for die casting machine can replace traditional manual operations to automate the casting process. It can significantly improve production efficiency in the die casting process.
Work without taking a break
Firstly, the robot can work continuously without taking a break, thus achieving 24/7 uninterrupted operation. This continuous working mode allows the production line to complete tasks at a higher frequency and reduce production cycle time.
Adapt to new production needs
Secondly, Robots can also quickly adapt to new production needs.
For example, the industrial robots can easily reprogramm adapt to different product types and design changes. Thereby it can improve production flexibility. This flexibility enables manufacturers to respond faster to changes in market demand and improve overall production efficiency.
Improve automation
- Replace dangerous and repeat task
- Control of complex processes
The application of industrial robots in die-casting machines is an important means of achieving automation. Automation not only improves production efficiency, but also reduces reliance on manual labor.
Replace dangerous and repeat task
For example, robots can replace the dangerous and repetitive tasks that require a lot of manual operation in traditional die-casting processes. Thereby robots can reduce the labor intensity and work risks of workers.This automation not only improves production safety, but also reduces labor costs.
The foundry industry usually requires workers to perform high-intensity physical labor. And the industrial robots can replace these jobs, reduce labor intensity and operate risks. Moreover, the application of robots in high-risk environments also reduces the threat to worker safety.
Control of complex processes
The automation application of robots in the die-casting process also includes precise control of complex processes.
For example, robots can provide higher precision and control in the melting and die-casting processes. Thus ensuring consistency in product quality. This precise control capability enables robots to handle parts of various shapes and sizes. And also improving production efficiency and product quality.
Improve product quality and consistency
- Reduce product defects
- Precise control and monitor
Industrial robots can provide higher precision and consistency when performing post-casting cleanup (such as removing gates, parting lines, etc.).
Reduce product defects
The use of industrial robots in die casting machines can also significantly improve product quality. Robots can ensure high consistency in the production process, thereby reducing product defects.
For instance, robots can ensure the accuracy and consistency of each part, thereby reducing product defects. This consistency not only improves product quality, but also enhances customer satisfaction.
Precise control and monitor
Robots can also reduce waste in the production process through precise control and monitoring.
For example, robots can accurately handle materials, thereby reducing waste, improving production efficiency and product quality.
Through programming control, robots can accurately complete these tasks, thereby improving the quality and surface finish of castings.
Robotic casting
Robotic casting refers to using industrial robots to automate or assist in various stages of the casting process, including both metal casting (like die-casting and investment casting) .
Advantages of robotic casting
- Increased productivity and efficiency: Robots can perform tasks faster and more consistently than humans, leading to higher output.
- Improved quality: Precision control from robotic systems reduces errors, leading to more consistent and higher-quality parts.
- Enhanced worker safety: Robots handle dangerous jobs, such as working with hot metal, reducing the risk of injury to human workers.
- Greater flexibility: Automation allows for more flexible production, making it easier to meet fluctuating demand and adapt to different part types.
Adaptability and flexibility
- Handle various products
- Switch different product lines
Industrial robots are highly flexible and adaptable. They can quickly adjust work procedures and tool configurations according to different production needs.
Handle various products
Industrial robots are able to handle parts of various shapes, sizes and complexities, thus expanding the scope of die casting manufacturing. For example, robots can be quickly reprogrammed to adapt to new production needs, which allows manufacturers to flexibly respond to market changes.
Switch different product lines
In addition, robots can also switch between different production lines, thereby improving equipment utilization. This flexibility enables robots to cope with multi-variety, small-batch production requirements and meet the diverse needs of modern manufacturing.
Provide Automatic Solutions with Robot and Machine Teamwork
HAICHEN not only provides high-performance die casting machines but also has strong skills in robot integration. They build efficient and reliable “die casting machine + robot” production cells for customers.
Customer Need for Automation Upgrade
An aluminum part maker wanted to upgrade their manual part-removal and spraying line to an automatic cell. They needed more output and had to meet stricter safety rules.
HAICHEN’s Robot Integration Plan and Machine Selling Points
HAICHEN planned and set up a full automatic cell for them. It included a die casting machine, a six-axis robot, a sprayer, and a conveyor. This solution shows these teamwork selling points:
- Deeply Integrated Control System: HAICHEN’s machine control system and the robot controller share data and work together. The robot’s actions can start directly from the machine’s cycle signal. This connects them smoothly and reduces the delays or problems common in multi-system setups.
- Machine Design Made for Easy Automation: HAICHEN machines are designed with standard robot interfaces, safety signals, and enough free space around them. This makes robot setup easier and safer.
- Stable Die Casting Process is the Base: HAICHEN machines provide steady clamping force and repeatable injection profiles. This ensures stable part quality and cycle time. It is the foundation that lets the robot work efficiently and in good order.
