Metal Casting Challenges Solved with Automation

Manufacturing of metal cast components is a highly labor-intensive process and hosts many safety concerns. With labor shortages affecting every aspect of manufacturing, it has become increasingly difficult to find employees for manual labor roles. With metal castings in most cases, almost every component requires a surface finishing process. The use of manual finishing tools is tedious and dangerous, causing lower part yield and variable part quality.

To solve many of these concerns and shortcomings robotic automation has quickly become the answer! With robotics introduced into metal cast manufacturing processes we can achieve:

• Increased employee health & safety
• A process that is repeatable and predictable
• Improved efficiency with abrasive media life management
• Reduction in scrap to increase part yield
• Overall unit cost reduction
