Vacuum Docking Machine
The pneumatic vacuum docking machine is a critical connection device between sand boxes and the vacuum system in a lost foam casting production line. It uses pneumatic drive technology to achieve fast, automatic, and sealed docking and separation between the sand box vacuum chamber and the fixed vacuum pipeline, establishing a stable vacuum environment. The reliability and stability of this device directly impact production line efficiency and final casting quality.
Core Functions
1. Automatic Docking and Separation:
Under production line takt control, the machine automatically connects the vacuum pipeline when the sand box reaches the designated position and disconnects after pouring is completed.
2. Ensured Sealing:
Provides high sealing performance at the vacuum interface during docking, maintaining the required vacuum level inside the sand box and preventing air leaks that could cause casting defects.
3. Adaptation to Production Line Rhythm:
Fully pneumatic or combined pneumatic–electrical control ensures fast response, meeting the continuous operation requirements of automated production lines.
This device is essential for maintaining a stable vacuum environment, ensuring consistent casting quality, and supporting smooth, automated lost foam casting operations.
