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.
