Highest levels of safety for certifiedproductionThe digital or program control of our machinesand the integrated data printer (standardequipment for VC 650 V, VC 1000 V, VC 3000 V)ensure a high level of safety and the possibi -lity of precise process documentation (importantfor ISO certified casting processes).Until recently flasks with incorrect or differenttemperatures were a safety risk. Duringcasting of very small or delicate parts thetemperature of the flask is of utmostimportance. The measurement of the flasktemperature (standard for machines fromVC 500 D onwards) is an important featurewith regards to safety. The temperature of theflask can be monitored to within one degree.Overlapping castingAll Indutherm machines have separate locksystems for the melting chamber and flaskchamber. This allows time to be saved by"overlapping" casting: while the flask remainsin the flask chamber for several minutes afterthe casting, you may fill in and heat up thenext charge.Vibration System• Vibration during casting generallyimproves material flow and mouldfilling.• Castings exhibit a higher and moreconsistent density• Porosity is substantially reduced.• Risk of hot cracks is reduced.• 50% smaller grain size• Castings have greater stress and elasticityproperties, making them easier to processfurther.In practice this means: higher and moreconsistent quality, less waste, less postprocessing,better deformability.A customer in USA has discovered that byusing Indutherm vibration technology thetotal production time including postprocessinghas been reduced by 25%(compared with the older VC 600).▲ porositywithoutvibrationRmwith VRmwithout VRp 0,2with VRp 0,2without V▲ porosity with vibrationgrain structuregrain structurewithout vibration with vibration*Au 18 ct: 750 Au,128 Ag, 122 Cuelongation limit ~12% bettertensile strength ~25% bettertensilestrengthN/mm 20,2%dischargeelongation= with vibration= without vibration19
