Automation in Boring Mechanism

Abstract

The defects occur in sand castings post a great problem in foundry. In our project, two pneumatic cylinders are used to fully automate the boring mechanism in boundary. So we have selected the idea of fabricating “Automatic Boring Mechanism”. While methods to automate molten metal transfer from the furnace to the mold have been around for decades, the incorporation of automated pouring in job shops lags behind the adoption of automation in other areas of the metal casting facility for several reasons—alloy changes, cost, low volume, etc. However, the advantages of automated pouring exist for high production and job shop casting facilities alike. It leads to better control of temperature, pouring speed and pouring volume, and eliminates an unpopular and potentially hazardous job from the shop floor.
