Abstract:
A metering unit (14) for molten lead is paired with the molding cavity (13) of a molding block (6). The metering unit (14) includes a cylinder (1), to which molten lead is supplied via a blockable line (8), and a piston (2), which can be lifted in order to transfer molten lead into the molding cavity (13) in order to cast pole connectors onto battery plate lugs.

Abstract:
An apparatus for forming metal castings, particularly with hydraulic connection between the holding furnace and the mold and a method performed by the apparatus, the hydraulic connection comprising: at least one duct (36) for connecting the holding furnace (11), which contains the molten metal ready for molding, to one or more inlets (12) for introducing metal into the cavity (13) of a corresponding mold (14); and a piston pump (15), interposed between portions (20, 21) of the duct (36), for pumping a controlled quantity of metal through the one or more inlets into the cavity, the piston pump being connected to an electronic control unit (16).
Abstract:
A production method for a component having integrated channels for internal fluid guidance, having a first region, which is connected to a second region, and wherein the channels extend both through the first region and through the second region. The geometry of the component is modified to the technological characteristics of both production methods. The first region is produced by a method for casting using lost models without undercuts, and proceeding from the first region, the second region is built up using an additive manufacturing method.
Abstract:
A casting plunger for a casting unit of a casting machine, includes a casting-plunger shut-off valve integrated into the casting plunger, having a valve seat and a valve body interacting therewith, wherein the shut-off valve, in an open position, enables a flow of a melt material through the casting plunger during a melt suction operation and, in a closed position, blocks said flow during a mold-filling operation. The casting plunger has a plunger sleeve, which is placeable against an inner wall of a casting cylinder of the casting unit and contains the valve seat, and a plunger ram which contains the valve body. The plunger sleeve and the plunger ram are movable axially with respect to one another by a predefinable valve stroke.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a device for supplying casting installations with molten metal. Said device comprises a crucible into the melt of which a dosing pump dips and supplies a discharge tube (12) communicating therewith with melt. The discharge tube (12) and the pump tube (11) are interlinked via a U-shaped connecting tube (15) to give a one-piece crucible insert. The discharge neck (13) of the discharge tube (12) is mounted so as to be swivelable about the axis (30) of the discharge tube. The inventive design allows for a simple maintenance and production of the dosing device. Moreover, the crucible position no longer has to be adapted to the position of the casting installation.
Abstract:
There is provided a method for melting a material rod in a material melting and holding apparatus of a metal molding apparatus where the material melting and holding apparatus provided for the metal molding apparatus includes a furnace body of a melting and holding furnace, and a melting cylinder for a material rod and a material supply cylinder for directly supplying the material rod into the furnace body provided in parallel with each other on the furnace body, upon startup of molding, the material rod is melted using the melting cylinder prior to supplying the molten material from the melting cylinder into the melting and holding furnace, and the material rod subsequently supplied from the material supply cylinder to a bottom portion of the furnace body is submerged and melted by the molten material, thereby maintaining the submersion melting in the melting and holding furnace after the startup of molding.
