Key Characteristics of Robots in the Founding and Forging Industry 

Foundry robots can perform demanding foundry and forging tasks, from precisely handling molten metal to polishing coatings and shifting heavy molds. They can withstand extreme temperatures and have a high payload capacity, enabling them to lift and manipulate molds and castings. Foundry robots also feature precise and repeatable movements for consistent operation. 

Benefits of Using Robots in a Foundry

Industrial robots can be used for many foundry applications, often leading to higher levels of productivity and energy efficiency while keeping workers safer from workplace hazards such as extreme heat.

  • Improved Worker Safety: Workers in foundry environments are exposed to difficult conditions and many safety hazards. High temperatures and molten metals can burn workers, and hazardous fumes can cause serious harm. Robots can safely handle castings, pour molten metal, and operate near furnaces, reducing or eliminating the risk of injuries to human workers. Robots also minimize direct human interaction with hazardous processes, increasing safety and reducing legal consequences that might impact your business’ reputation. 
  • Enhanced Efficiency and Productivity: Manually handling foundry tasks such as melting, pouring, molding, and solidifying poses safety risks and takes time, significantly increasing costs. Robots don’t need to take breaks; they work continuously without getting tired. They perform repetitive and labor-intensive tasks like molding, core making, and cleaning with consistent speed and precision, and can be used for forging a wide range of products. If you want to reduce (or eliminate) downtime and accelerate production cycles that lead to higher throughput, consider using robotic systems. 
  • Higher Quality and Precision: Molding and pouring defects can cause product quality problems, such as a mold mismatch. Blowholes can also form when there’s too much moisture in the mold. To prevent problems caused by human error, you can employ robots to execute tasks with exceptional accuracy, ensuring consistent casting quality and reducing defects. 

Advanced robotic systems can be programmed for precise movements and efficient foundry processes, increasing production, improving product uniformity, and reducing material waste. Contact us today for a quote on robotic solutions for your foundry business.
