Core
Making
Core making is a craft that
combines the latest technology with more traditional practical
processes. Our core making capability is essential to
achieving on-time delivery, and we supply our customers'
needs for cores utilizing coldbox, shell or baked oil
processes.
Sand cores are used in the molding process to shape the
casting for the customer's product. We manufacture
isocure, oil and shell cores using automated equipment
and manual fabrication. The sand recipe is controlled
by an automated Muller system to ensure uniformity and
quality. Sand is delivered to the core machine where
it is activated by gas injection and compressed into the
desired shape using core box patterns. Additional machining
may be required to assemble or finish the core. Cores are inspected to ensure quality castings. Bar code
labels are used for inventory management. |
