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.
