Compare Core Machines and Core Making Processes
Core Making Process Control & Repeatability

• Optimized core box program/settings stored in memory - recall optimum settings every time & lock-out unauthorized editing = Process Control.
• Auto-System monitoring reduces operator involvement = Repeatability.
• Quick Change System eliminates setup variables = Control & Repeatability.

Maintain Scheduling Accuracy

with process control & repeatability.

Core Making Cost Control

with repeatable settings & setups; consistent quality; high productivity; reduced waste, energy usage, & emissions; and scheduling accuracy.

Core Making Productivity & Utilization

• Two stations running two different jobs simultaneously = High Utilization.
• Short setups, machine speed, and consistent quality = High Productivity.
• Optimized recallable settings for each box = Consistent Quality & Productivity.
• High reliability, locally available parts, easy maintenance access, and a low level of operator involvement = High Productivity & Utilization.

Core Making Energy Usage & Emissions

• Higher productivity & utilization = Fewer Machines Required.
• Fewer machines = Lower Core Making Energy Usage & Related Emissions.

Two Station Core Making Productivity Example

• Cycle time: Right side = 40sec. & Left side = 30sec.
• 120 Seconds = 3 Rt. side & 4 Lft. side cycles = total 7 blows.
• 2 minutes = 7 Blows on HMC vs. 3 or 4 on a Single Station machine.

Semi-Automatic Core Making Operation

• In Auto-Mode all the operator does is cycle start and unload cores.
• In between unloading there is often time to clean, paste, and/or assemble.
• Heat-up one side while other side is in production.

Core Making Flexibility

• Multiple short cycles on one side during one long cycle on the other side.
• Constant demand job on one side, multiple short runs on the other side.
• Two piece core run one per side simultaneously & assembled between unloading.
• Satisfy 2 customers’ demands at once.
