Foundry Metalcasting Weekly

CT Answers Complex Casting Questions

Computed tomography is becoming essential to quality control for metalcasting operations. An NDT software expert explains how and why.

Foundries worldwide benefit from CONVEYOR DYNAMICS vibratory equipment utilizing their Dyna Sync Dynamic Drive System™, the most advanced vibratory technology worldwide.

MAGMA Parent Acquires Flow Science Inc.

Combining the simulation platform with the CFD programs means “a significant potential for synergies … in product development,” along with continuous and targeted improvements and new products.

The Digital Foundry is Here

Digitalization offers the most effective way for metalcasters to gain the substantial advances most are looking to achieve, including lower scrap rates, higher productivity, better sustainability and improved equipment utilization.

What Does “Sustainability” Mean for Foundries?

Product lifecycles are the true measure – so choosing supplies and materials that support ecological, economic, and social goals will help foundries meet expectations.

Are You Churning Customers or Cultivating Them?

Reducing Sand Fines Using Transporter Technology

Dense-phase pneumatic systems handle sand more gently, cutting down grain fracturing and thus improving sand quality and effectiveness, and also reducing silica exposure.

Winter is Here, and Electric Reliability is Fading

The seasonal risk assessment for the electric grid is a rather grim forecast for this winter, and metalcasters should check their sources – including their backup generators – for cold weather operations.

Briquetting Fine-Particle Residual Materials

Converting grinding swarf, trimmings, and other metal-bearing waste into furnace charge material reduces tipping cost and minimizes the dust exposure during the process.

New Robot for Heavy Product Handling

The M-1000iA has a range of motion in every direction: its arm can extend upright or rotate backwards, with a 1,000-kg payload, a 3,253-mm horizontal reach, and a 4,297-mm vertical reach.
