There are significant differences in the functions, working principles, and application scenarios of different types of precision casting equipment. Here are some main differences: the differences between different types of precision casting equipment
1. Function and purpose
Equipment type, function, and purpose
The sand mixer is mainly used for mixing molding sand or core sand, mixing old sand, new sand, molding sand binder and auxiliary materials evenly, and is a key equipment for preparing qualified molding sand.
The sand dropping machine uses vibration and impact to separate the molding sand and castings in the mold, and is an important equipment in the cleaning process of castings. The difference between different types of precision casting equipment
Shot blasting machines use high-speed projectiles thrown out by shot blasting machines to clean or strengthen the surface of castings, while also performing sanding, core removal, and cleaning. They are widely used in the treatment of metal surfaces such as castings and forgings.
Core making machine is a casting equipment used for manufacturing cores, which can be divided into various types according to different core making methods, such as shock core making machine, extrusion core machine, and shooting core machine.
The molding machine is mainly used for manufacturing sand molds, preparing qualified sand molds by filling sand and compacting molding sand, and is an important equipment on the casting production line. The difference between different types of precision casting equipment
The pouring machine is a device designed to introduce liquid metal into the mold cavity, including sprue cups, sprues, runners, and inner runners. Its design and performance directly affect the quality and production efficiency of castings.
Pressure casting equipment (such as vacuum die-casting machines) melts metals or alloys under vacuum inert gas protection, and fills the mold cavity at a high speed under high pressure to solidify the metal or alloy under pressure and form castings. It is suitable for casting batches of rings, handicrafts, etc.
Continuous casting equipment (such as continuous casting machines) continuously pours molten metal into a crystallizer, causing solidified castings to be continuously pulled out from the other end of the crystallizer, thereby obtaining castings of any length or specific length. It is commonly used in the production of long castings of metals such as gold, silver, and copper.
Centrifugal casting equipment (such as DIY mini casting machines) is equipped with a rotatable vacuum chamber, which melts and pours various metal materials in a vacuum argon protection environment through induction heating. It is suitable for making small castings such as metal jewelry. The difference between different types of precision casting equipment
2. Working principle
Sand mixer: By the relative motion between the grinding wheel and the grinding disc, the material placed between the two is crushed and mixed evenly through the action of rolling and grinding.
Sand dropping machine: uses vibration and impact principles to separate the molding sand and castings in the mold.
Shot blasting machine: uses high-speed projectiles thrown by the shot blasting machine to impact the surface of castings, achieving the purpose of cleaning or strengthening. The difference between different types of precision casting equipment
Core making machine and molding machine: Depending on the specific core making or molding method, corresponding mechanical actions and process flows are used to achieve the manufacturing of cores or sand molds.
Pouring machine: By designing a reasonable pouring system, liquid metal is introduced into the mold cavity to form the desired casting shape. The difference between different types of precision casting equipment
Pressure casting equipment, continuous casting equipment, centrifugal casting equipment: These equipment have their own unique working principles, such as pressure casting equipment relying on high pressure to hydraulic the metal into the mold cavity; Continuous casting equipment produces long castings through continuous casting and drawing; Centrifugal casting equipment uses centrifugal force to solidify and form molten metal in a rotating mold.
3. Application scenarios
Different types of precision casting equipment are suitable for different application scenarios and casting types. For example, equipment such as sand mixers, sand dropping machines, and shot blasting machines are widely used in various casting production lines for sand preparation, casting cleaning, and other processes; Pressure casting equipment, continuous casting equipment, centrifugal casting equipment, etc. are more suitable for the production of specific types of castings, such as jewelry, handicrafts, long profiles, etc.
In summary, there are significant differences in the functions, working principles, and application scenarios of different types of precision casting equipment.
