Molded into shape<br />
For over 7,000 years, humans<br />
have been using expendable mold<br />
casting to produce works of art<br />
and useful items that are made of<br />
metal. This procedure is still used<br />
today virtually unchanged from<br />
how it was traditionally done,<br />
in order to create one-of-a-kind<br />
objects such as bells or bronze<br />
statues. The technology has also<br />
been successfully used for decades<br />
for industrial manufacturing<br />
of mass-produced products<br />
such as engine blocks, truck axles<br />
or spoons. To produce the molds,<br />
many foundries utilize the efficient<br />
machines made by Laempe<br />
& Mössner, which operate using<br />
B&R technology.<br />
the high level of automation that is<br />
now achieved for mold production<br />
contributes to the fact that foundries in<br />
germany can also succeed in the highly<br />
competitive international market.<br />
Laempe & mössner gmbH are among<br />
the absolute specialists in the area<br />
of foundry technology. the machine<br />
manufacturer, based in Schopfheim,<br />
develops, produces and sells core<br />
shooters, core production lines and<br />
complete solutions for core-making.<br />
In foundry technology, cores are forms<br />
made of sand that are used to make a<br />
recess or cavity in a cast part. the core<br />
is placed in the mold at the location<br />
where the melted material should be<br />
prevented from entering when pouring.<br />
After the casting procedure, the<br />
sand core is destroyed mechanically or<br />
the sand is removed using a machine.<br />
25 liters of sand per shot<br />
Laempe & mössner have an extensive<br />
range of core shooters for the<br />
Core shooter machines from Laempe &<br />
Mössner are high performance machines<br />
for 24-hour continuous operation with hot<br />
or cold core hardening processes.<br />
Application<br />
automated production of cores. the<br />
"LB 25" is widely used in the automotive<br />
industry. It is used by nearly all<br />
well-known automobile manufacturers<br />
because it allows large quantities<br />
of cores to be manufactured<br />
economically. The machine can fill<br />
core molds that have volumes up to<br />
25 liters with molding sand using a<br />
single compressed air driven shot.<br />
the machine is also able to execute<br />
multiple shots in order to produce<br />
several cores in a tool or produce<br />
cores with a larger volume. >><br />
