 Programmable
Tilt Power Units
The
Programmable tilt system is designed for
applications that require variable tilt
rates. Variable tilt rates can increase
your profitability by:
- Improving
Yield
- Improving
Metal Flow
- Reducing
Air Entrainment of the metal in
the metal stream
|
- Reducing
Inclusions
- Reducing
turbulances as the metal enters
the mold
|
The
system uses our time proven
hydraulic power unit. Refer to
Hydraulic Power Units pages
for standard unit details. The
system uses a PLC control and a
touch screen operator interface. The
unit can be configured to fit almost
any application, but most systems
are six valve. Normal circuits
include tilt, ram, front eject,
core, casting catcher in/out and
casting catcher vertical movement.
The proportional tilt valve is PLC
controlled with feedback from a
trunnion mounted potentiometer or
optional ultra sonic sensor on the
casting machine. Tilt rates are
programmed by drawing the desired
ramp curve on the touch screen with
your fingertip. The PLC can store up
to eight different ramps under a
four digit code. All manual
functions are included on the touch
screen and touch screens are
available in monochrome or color. |
