Longhua die casting robots can automate the die cast process by quickly and efficiently pouring molten metal into a reusable mold. Die casting machines are used in a variety of industries and while material handling is a natural application, casting and foundry applications can be challenging. 

Die casting Technologies Center devised a way around the problem of how starting up a series and development work can tie up machine capacity instead of allowing it availability for actual production. The company takes on outsourced tasks to get the die cast parts ready for production. Three Longhua 50KG die casting robots were used to transform an ordinary die casting cell into a fully automated manufacturing cell for a vehicle transmission. The Longhua die casting robots can remove parts, spray molds with a parting agent, and load thixocasting billets. They are mounted on top of the machine and spray the mold with a parting agent as soon as the controller releases the part. 

The robot grips the casting by the sprue and removes it from the mobile half of the mold after the mold of the die casting machine opens. The ejectors in the mold eject the casting after the robot controller switches the linear unit to soft axis mode. The robot holds the casting up to an inspection station with sensors to check whether the part is complete. Defective parts are sprayed with a red dot. The robot then sprays and blow dries the halves of the mold.

Longhua die cast and foundry robots are designed for a wide variety of applications, including casting extraction, core assembly, die spray cooling and lubrication, dross skimming, and molten metal ladling.
