Overhaul Low Pressure Casting Machines
Overhaul and Modernization of Low Pressure Casting Machines
FISS supports foundries with the overhaul, repair and modernization of low pressure casting machines. The focus is on machine frame, hydraulics, electrical equipment, control system, gas installations, cooling distributor systems and safety guards – for reliable processes and a longer service life of existing equipment.
Overhaul for
- Low pressure casting machines and systems
- Machine frame and bearings
- Hydraulic units, cylinders and hoses
- Control cabinet, PLC and sensors
- Gas installation, cooling and safety guards
Modernization instead of replacement
Technically overhaul and continue using low pressure casting machines
Low pressure casting machines consist of several closely connected systems: construction, hydraulics, electrics, control technology, gas technology, cooling and safety equipment. If individual areas are worn or technically outdated, a targeted overhaul can improve reliability and extend the service life of the system.
FISS checks the condition of the machine, defines suitable repair and modernization measures and coordinates implementation with experienced partners. This allows existing systems to be technically upgraded and safely reintegrated into production.
Technical areas
Which components of a low pressure casting machine can be overhauled
The FISS service covers the main assemblies of a low pressure casting machine – from machine frame to hydraulics, control system, gas installation, 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
Manufacture of cooling circuits for die cooling with air and program control of cooling times and cooling air flows.
Safety Guards
Production of safety guards around the casting machine according to applicable regulations, also with automatic doors when robots are used.
Hydraulic modernization
Modernize hydraulic units and protect components
Modernizing the hydraulic equipment can improve reliability and extend the service life of important components. This includes repair and renewal of hydraulic units, pump control, filtration, temperature and fluid level control as well as cylinder repairs.
Repair and renewal of hydraulic units
Cylinder repair with seals, piston rod and cylinder tube
Replacement or repair of the steel installation
Replacement of hoses and installation of temperature protection on exposed hoses
Change of pump position and production of a secondary filter circuit if required
Control system & process parameters
Modernization of electrical equipment and software
Electrical Equipment
Overhaul and modernization of control cabinet, SIEMENS S7 PLC, electrical installations on the machine, sensors and PLC cards for temperature probes.
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 renewed production readiness
Record Condition
Machine, frame, bearings, hydraulics, electrics, control system, gas and cooling systems are technically evaluated.
Plan Measures
Repairs, replacement, modernization and safety measures are defined according to the project scope.
Carry Out Overhaul
Machine frame, bearings, hydraulics, control system, gas installation, cooling and safety systems are reworked.
Check Function
The overhauled low pressure casting machine is checked and prepared for further production use.
Your benefits
Why overhauling a low pressure casting machine can make sense
Continue Using the System
Existing low pressure casting machines can be technically upgraded and continue to be used in production.
Increase Reliability
Hydraulic modernization and cylinder repair can extend the service life of important components.
Update Control System
Control cabinet, PLC, sensors and temperature monitoring can be modernized.
Improve Casting Process
Cycle programming, casting programs, melt temperature and die temperature can be set for operation.
Optimize Cooling
Cooling circuits, cooling times and cooling air flows can be adjusted specifically.
Improve Safety
Safety guards and automatic doors for robot use can be implemented according to applicable requirements.
