Reconditioning Gravity Casting Machines
Reconditioning and Modernization of Gravity Casting Machines
FISS supports foundries with the reconditioning, repair and modernization of gravity casting machines. The focus is on machine frame, hydraulics, electrical equipment, control system, gas installations, cooling distributor systems and safety guards – for reliable and safe continued use of existing casting machines.
Reconditioning for
- Gravity casting machines and casting systems
- Machine frame and bearings
- Hydraulic units, cylinders and hoses
- Control cabinet, PLC and sensors
- Gas installations, cooling and safety guards
Continue using existing machines
Technically upgrade gravity casting machines instead of replacing them
A gravity casting machine can be reliably reintegrated into the production process through targeted reconditioning. Depending on the condition, mechanical assemblies are repaired, hydraulic components renewed, control technology modernized or safety equipment adapted.
FISS supports such projects with technical understanding, project coordination and experienced partners. This allows repair, modernization, assembly, inspection and recommissioning to be coordinated cleanly.
Technical areas
Which areas of a gravity casting machine can be reconditioned
The FISS service covers several technical areas – from construction and hydraulics to electrical equipment, gas technology, cooling and machine safety.
Construction & Machine Frame
Repair of the machine frame, bearing replacement, sandblasting and painting.
Hydraulics
Modernization of hydraulic equipment, repair of hydraulic units, cylinders, hoses and steel lines.
Electrics & Control System
Control cabinet, SIEMENS S7 PLC, electrical installations, sensors and cards for temperature probes.
Gas Installations
Renewal of gas installations for die heating and installation from the gas network connection to the burners.
Cooling Distributor Systems
Production of cooling circuits for dies with air and programmed control of cooling times and air flows.
Safety Guards
Production of safety guards according to applicable regulations, also with automatic doors when robots are used.
Hydraulic modernization
Recondition hydraulic units and extend component service life
Modernizing the hydraulic system can improve reliability and extend the service life of important components. This may include repairs to pumps, pump control, filtration, temperature and fluid level monitoring as well as cylinder repairs.
Repair and renewal of hydraulic units
Cylinder repair with seals, piston rod and cylinder tube
Replacement or repair of steel installations
Replacement of hoses and temperature protection on exposed hoses
Production of a secondary filter circuit and adjustment of pump position if required
Control system & software
Modernization of electrical equipment and machine control
Electrical Equipment
Reconditioning and modernization of control cabinet, electrical installations on the machine, sensors and control components such as SIEMENS S7 PLC.
Software & Automation
Automation of the machine with simple cycle programming and storage of casting programs. Casting parameters such as melt temperature and die temperature can be set for machine operation.
Project process
From condition assessment to modernized casting machine
Assess Condition
Machine, assemblies, hydraulics, electrics, control system, gas and cooling systems are technically evaluated.
Define Measures
Repair, replacement, modernization and safety measures are planned according to the project requirements.
Carry Out Reconditioning
Machine frame, bearings, hydraulics, control system, gas installation, cooling and safety systems are reworked.
Check Function
The modernized gravity casting machine is checked and prepared for renewed use.
Your benefits
Why reconditioning a gravity casting machine can make sense
Preserve Existing Machine
The existing gravity casting machine can continue to be used and technically upgraded.
Improve Hydraulics
Modernized hydraulic units can extend the service life of important components.
Update Control System
PLC, sensors, electrical installation and casting programs can be modernized.
Control Process Better
Cooling times, air flows and casting parameters can be adjusted more precisely for operation.
Improve Safety
Safety guards and automatic doors for robot use can be implemented according to applicable requirements.
Clear Project Handling
FISS coordinates technical work, modernization and alignment with experienced partners.
