Die Casting Automation

The relationship between manufacturing and automation is nothing new. Automated processes have been a key part of manufacturing operations since Henry Ford introduced its first assembly line. Today, with the increasing sophistication of robotics and the development of artificial intelligence, automation is playing a larger role in manufacturing than ever before. So what role does automation play in die casting? 

Thanks to modern technology, the benefits of die casting automation will only continue to grow. Read on to learn how automation can be made to meet your company's die casting needs.

Benefits of Die Casting Automation

At first glance, automation in metal casting may seem unnecessary. You melt the metal in a furnace and pour it into a mold to cool it. However, automation can actually streamline this production process and significantly reduce your operating costs. 

Automation can help metal parts processing machines run more efficiently. For example, if the machine does not need to run at peak performance, a load-sensing trimmer can make the machine run faster, thereby increasing productivity. Automated operation of die casting machines also provides more uniform cycle times and more consistent coating patterns. In addition, ensuring that the machine runs only when needed and as often as possible will reduce wear and tear, resulting in longer machine life and less maintenance.

In addition, automation provides tremendous safety benefits by minimizing worker contact with molten metal and hot parts. Other benefits of die casting automation include

Speed:

When using automation, part-to-part cycle times are faster, resulting in increased productivity. In addition, you won't have much disruption to the process because the robot doesn't need to eat lunch or go to the bathroom. 

Less waste:

Because automated processes are so precise, they generate less waste, which saves you money in raw materials and cleanup requirements and simplifies quality control.

Consistency:

Automated processes on die casting lines help ensure that you get the same results every time, even with precision operations.

Fewer people:

Automation allows a single operator to run multiple machines associated with the die casting process, resulting in increased safety and savings in personnel costs.

Lower labor costs:

The use of robots reduces labor-related costs, such as health care and workers' compensation costs.

Continuous improvement:

Automation makes it easier to make rapid "breakthrough" process improvements or incremental improvements over time.
