Decoring Cell of a Raw Part Machining Line
Reference project
Project Description
The decoring cell demonstrates the “integration of various decoring machines from R. Scheuchl GmbH into a fully automated machining line” for a Bavarian automobile manufacturer. Via a lift, different versions of 3-, 4- and 6-cylinder crankcases are conveyed into the cell.
The process comprises two steps:
- Pre-decoring station: sand cores are first broken
- Main decoring: a robot positions the crankcases on Shake Champions 165 PSP R, where they are freed from the core sand by vibratory decoring
After decoring, a shuttle transports the parts to the downstream machining.
Technical Data
- Pre-decoring station: 2 casting fixtures, 3 traversable hammer consoles with 5 core-breaking hammers
- Main decoring station: 2× SC 165 PSP R, each with 2 pivoting hammers
- Machined parts: 3-, 4-, 6-cylinder crankcases with double casting
- Cycle time: 24 seconds
- Degree of automation: full automation with robot
- Sand discharge: sand guide plates and vibrating conveyor troughs
