New programm control system
Thanks to a new control panel with real text LCD display, all programs and parameters are very easy and comfortable to set.
100 casting programs guarantee fast operation and consistent casting results. For all major alloys, e.g. for AGS, Alpha Plus, Heraeus, Legor and Pandora alloys, the parameters are preprogrammed.
That means for you in practice: from the first flask on, you can expect good casting results without making expensive pretests.
Turbulence reduction software
This is a new system for a faster and more laminar metal flow.
Turbo Pressure PLUS
The filling of the flask using fast overpressure allows the casting of very filigree parts and casting with stones. Now with reduced gas consumption and with an even faster pressure degree.
The Indutherm Vibration System
The vibration technology (pat. pending) is the most important of all technical features. Independent scientific studies show that:
- Vibration during casting is generally improving material flow and mould filling. The new sweep mode vibration system can even more: it considers that each casting tree and even each item of a tree has a different resonance frequence, depending on its shape and size. The sweep mode vibration generating variable frequencies covers all natural resonances.
- Castings exhibit a higher and more consistent density for all tested alloys and shapes.
- Porosity is substantially reduced.
- Risk of hot cracks is reduced.
- 50% smaller grains
- Castings have greater stress and elasticity properties, making them easier to process further.
In practice this means:
higher and more consistent casting quality, less waste, less post-processing, more possibilities for further processing.
A customer in the USA has discovered that by using Indutherm vibration technology the total production time including post-processing has been reduced by 25% (compared with the older VC 600).
