Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a high-productivity casting system for the production of aluminium-alloy castings or the like.
  • a high-productivity automatic casting system comprises a casting manipulator, a core-assembly manipulator, and a discharging manipulator, arranged for interlinking a plurality of casting machines, usually constituted by machines for die-casting.
  • a typical lay-out of high-productivity casting systems envisages an in-line arrangement of the casting machines.
  • An example of a casting system with in-line arrangement is illustrated in the document No. US 6725903 , filed in the name of the present applicant.
  • the casting manipulator, the core-assembly manipulator, and the discharging manipulator are mobile along respective guides parallel to the array of the machines.
  • a drawback of the in-line arrangement is represented in that, with an increase in the number of the casting machines, it is frequently necessary to provide more than one manipulator for execution of each operation (casting, core-assembly, and discharging).
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a high-productivity casting system that will enable the problems of the known solutions to be overcome.
  • a further object of the present invention is to provide a casting system with high flexibility and that will enable the use of standard components.
  • the number 10 designates a high-productivity automated system for the production of aluminium-alloy castings.
  • the system 10 comprises a plurality of die-casting machines 12 arranged in two parallel lines 14, 16 facing each other.
  • the casting machines 12 can be of any known type used in the sector.
  • Each line 14, 16 comprises a plurality of machines 12 aligned with one another in a longitudinal direction.
  • the machines of the two lines 14, 16 are preferably arranged in a specular way with respect to a plane of vertical symmetry.
  • the machine 12 of each line 14, 16 faces a corresponding machine 12 of the opposite line.
  • the system 10 comprises two horizontal guides 18, 20 extending in a rectilinear direction between the two lines 14, 16.
  • the bottom guide 18 rests on the ground whilst the top guide 20 is carried by a portal-frame structure 22 that rests on the ground by means of a plurality of columns 24.
  • each guide 18, 20 is constituted by a horizontal and rectilinear rail.
  • the top guide 20 is preferably superimposed on the bottom guide 18.
  • a casting manipulator 26 and a core-assembly manipulator 28 are mobile along the bottom guide 18, whilst a discharging manipulator 30 is mobile along the top guide 20.
  • This arrangement could be reversed; i.e., the discharging manipulator could be mobile on the bottom guide and the casting and core-assembly manipulators on the top guide.
  • Each manipulator 26, 28, 30 is able to interlink the casting machines 12 of both of the lines 14, 16.
  • the manipulators 26, 28, 30 are of an anthropomorphic type.
  • the use of anthropomorphic manipulators is an advantageous characteristic of the present invention since said manipulators are standard devices available on the market at a relatively contained cost.
  • other types of manipulators can be used, for example, cartesian manipulators with at least one rotating axis, or polar manipulators.
  • the casting manipulator 26 is pre-arranged for picking up a casting ladle filled with the liquid metal coming from a furnace 32 or 34 and for pouring the liquid metal into the casting mouth of the machines 12.
  • the casting manipulator 26 picks up the casting ladles from two turntables 33, 35, in which the casting ladles are filled with the liquid metal coming from the furnaces 32, 34.
  • This particularly innovative solution enables the casting ladle to be filled irrespective of the presence of the casting manipulator, which can consequently carry out, at the same time, other operations regarding its own working cycle.
  • the casting manipulator is usually the one, amongst the three manipulators (casting, core-assembly, discharging manipulators) with the longest cycle time, this solution results in a further increase in productivity of the entire casting system.
  • the core-assembly manipulator 28 is programmed for picking up the cores from a turntable 36 or 38 and for positioning the cores in the machines 12 when these are in the position of open dies.
  • the discharging manipulator 30 is programmed for picking up the solidified castings from the machines 12 after opening of the dies and for depositing the finished castings in a discharging station 40.
  • the operation of the casting, core-assembly and discharging manipulators is known to a person skilled in the sector and hence does not require any detailed description.
  • the arrangement of the casting machines 12 in two lines 14, 16 facing each other enables the travel of the manipulators 26, 28, 30 to be halved with respect to a system with the same number of machines arranged all in line.
  • the smaller travel of the manipulators enables reduction in the time of the operating cycle of the manipulators, given that the time of transfer from and to the casting machines 12 is shorter.
  • the shorter cycle time of the manipulators enables interlinking of a greater number of machines with a single manipulator for each operating step (casting, core-assembly, and discharging).
  • the system 10 moreover comprises an overhead guide 42 for each line 14, 16.
  • the overhead lines 42 extend over the respective line 14, 16 of machines 12 and serve to support respective lifting devices, which can be used for replacement of the dies of the casting machines 12.
  • the overhead guides 42 are carried by respective columns 44.
