latest company case about Zibo Tongpu Vacuum Equipment Co., Ltd. Certifications

The lost foam casting production line for machine tool castings features outstanding flexible manufacturing capability, enabling it to easily handle castings ranging from tens of kilograms to several tons. It is widely applied in the production of machine tool castings. Compared with traditional casting methods, lost foam castings offer clear contours and high dimensional accuracy, significantly reducing the workload of subsequent grinding and finishing operations.The molding sand used in this process can be recycled almost 100%, greatly simplifying the sand handling system, reducing energy consumption and solid waste emissions, and truly representing a green casting technology.

The machine tool casting lost foam production line performs particularly well in the following application scenarios:

1.Critical Components with High Precision and Lightweight Requirements

Machine tool castings produced by the lost foam process can achieve a qualified rate of over 98%. Casting accuracy can reach CT8 grade, while the weight is approximately 12% lighter than that of traditional sand castings.

2.Large Components with Complex Structures Requiring Integral Forming

The lost foam process enables the integral casting of complex internal cavities, cooling water channels, and oil passages, effectively avoiding dimensional deviations and assembly issues caused by the use of combined sand cores.

3.Small-Batch, Multi-Variety Production and R&D Prototyping

By eliminating the need for costly wooden patterns, the lost foam process significantly reduces the costs and risks associated with product development or production transitions, allowing for a rapid response to market demands.

Distinctive Characteristics Compared with Other Lost Foam Casting Lines

Compared with other lost foam casting production lines, machine tool casting lines have specific features that place different requirements on line layout and equipment selection:

1.Larger overall casting dimensions

2.For certain castings, in-flask molding operations may be required

3.Large sand handling volume

The appropriate box handling and demolding method must be selected according to flask size

Overall, lost foam casting provides the machine tool manufacturing industry with a solution that achieves a better balance among precision, flexibility, efficiency, and cost. It is particularly suitable for the production of complex-structure, high-precision, or non-standard customized machine tool castings.
