Heavy Load Process Automation in the Foundry Industry
 
Task
Italy based Mazzucconi SpA, manufactures Foundry Automation for the Automotive Industry. They were challenged with designing and manufacturing a high availability system to automate a heat treatment process line that had to operate through an unattended shift pattern. The payload is very high at 3500 Kg and the cycle time required was also tight at 60 seconds. The process required the basket of components to be placed into the Oven and then after the heating process was complete, to transfer the Basket to the Quenching Bath. A new Basket will then be loaded into the empty oven. There are two key issues that the system had to deal with. Firstly, the basket of heated components had to be transferred within a set cycle time so that the components did not cool too much in the air before quenching and ruin the hardening process. Secondly, a new basket of components had to be swiftly loaded into the oven so that we did not lose too much heat whilst the oven door was open which would give a variable heating process and use additional energy to re-heat the oven.
Solution
GUDEL based its design around a special track motion module 25 meters long, fitted with a vertical column of 6 meters to which an offset arm was fixed with moving horizontal carriage on it. A Rotary axis fitted to the base of the column, allows the arm to rotate 180° to reach both the oven line and basket storage and collection points. The Gripper System was designed in conjunction with the customer to ensure a robust solution and incorporates protection for the drive motor from the local high temperature and all components are protected from rusting from the steam and water using stainless steel and metal coatings where required.
 
The standard Gűdel control package was easily adapted to suit the application. The operator interface is via a touch screen HMI giving an overview of the plant status and current production situation. The system includes part tracking and can easily incorporate new component requirements through the cell.
Scope of supply
The 4 axis special module is a combination of a special track motion using rollers supports type DRB90 to which is mounted a column of 6 meters height with a vertical axis counterbalance. The vertical axis has mounted to it a horizontal axis complete with moving carriage to which the gripper system is fitted. The rotary axis at the base of the column is driven by a GSP planetary gearbox.
 
All vertical and horizontal axes are driven by rack and pinion and the rotary axis by a slewing ring. GUDEL provided the control system and the software required for the system to operate with the ovens by Mazzucconi.
Result
The modularity of the GUDEL system enabled us to provide a robust and reliable system that enabled the customer to run an unattended shift pattern whilst ensuring the key operating criteria were met.
