1 Casting Machine by Induction 1 POWERCAST INSTRUCTION MANUAL

2 2 POWER CAST 1700 INDUCTION CASTING MACHINE Technical information. Supply Tension: volts diphasic. Network frequency: /60 Hz. Maximum power: Watts Maximum current: amp. Maximum casting capacity: gr. Casting maximum temperature: C Water flow at 2kgr/cm²: liters /min Argon flow : liters / min Maximum refrigeration water temperature:- 35 C Maximum room temperature C Net weight: Kg. Width ,6 m Height ,53 m Depth ,72 m Package contains - Equipment. - 3 ceramic melting pots. - 3 ceramic receptors. - 5 ring mountings of several measures. - 1 water entrance hose. - 1 water exit hose. - 1 steel receptacle. - 1 water pressure inspection device. - 1 bracket. - Instruction manual. - Warranty certificate. Equipment with argon device is accompanied by one more hose and 2 brackets.

3 3 Functioning principle Heating Induction of a magnetic electro field of the metal to be casting promoting its heating and consequently fusion without utilizing any fuel or supporter of combustion (oxygen, acetylene, etc). Induction bobbin in tube water cooled with vertical movement. Injection Centrifuge bring into action by electrical motor with velocity and acceleration control. Active balancing adjusted by counterweight and scale device. Fixing of the casting ring by pression allowing the utilization of all formats, including rings powered by decentralized canal. BENEFITS Safer. Economic It produces high quality homogeneous casts It practically eliminates the necessity of reworking Easy handling It does not occupy much space It reduces the waste of material Does not oxidate the alloy and buttoms can be used

4 4 Crucible Special ceramics with lateral exit. Standardized dimensions. Ceramics receptor to receive the casting metal in case the crucible pierces. Crucible s base in ceramics with easy replacement. Casting room and centrifuge with lateral opening providing easy access to the centrifugal arm. Cabinet build by steel plate painted in epóxi. Centrifuge casting room, fixing arms, thread made by steel, protective apron made by inox 304 steel. Drawer in the base of the casting room to remove the residues. Refrigeration system by circulating water bring into action automatically. Argon system: injects argon automatically in the casting metal improving its characteristics. This system can be or not utilized. If the choice is to use it is only needed to connect an argon tube with pression regulator. Controls Power control (fusion time) Velocity control of rotation of the centrifuge arms. Acceleration control of the centrifuge arms. Fusion temperature set point. Preheating button. Start button Stop button. Temperature measurement Infra red sensor from 900 to 1700 C with digital painel indication and sonorous Alarm when the set up temperature is achieved. Injection (centrifuge) Manual handspike Security All the security and operation parameters are checked and the equipment is blocked from keep going with the operation in case anything fails. The problem information is indicated in the digital painel.
