Technical Features / Glossary Program control - Oxidation reduced casting - GSM Modem - Turbo-Pressure function - Flask temperature measurement
Control program
The standard equipment of the vacuum/presure casting machine V 600 includes a control program of 100 storing possibilities. The models VC 1000, VC 3000 as well as VC 12000 as P-versions may be equipped with the control program as an option.
| The control program guarantees not only a high service comfort but it also renders the whole casting process quicker and safer due to the exact reproducible casting results. The control of temperature, casting and overpressure/vacuum works automatically. All relevant parameters may be modified in the course of a casting cycle without interrupting the program. It is possible therefore to work out for every casting process the optimal reproduocible steps. Hundred different processes may be programed and filed over the built in printer. The turbo-pressure function starts precisely to a second and it guarantees optimal and regular results also in the case of filigree casting parts. The automatic mechanical functions as i.g. automatic opening and closing of the vacuum chamber enables the user to concentrate on the essential point: "the right casting". Eighty casting cycles (program 20 to 99) for standard alloys and filigrees, average and specially thick-walled casting forms are pre-programed. All parameters may be corrected individually and filed. |

Oxidation reduced casting
Specially when casting silver and red gold, the high copper containts may cause oxidation of the casting tree. Since August 2003 all machines from VC 400 onwards are equipped with a supplementary function which avoids this effect. All machines can be equipped with this option.
GSM Modem | ||
|---|---|---|
 | All INDUTHERM machines with an induction generator may be equipped with a GSM modem for remote service. INDUTHERM machines are in operation world wide, very often far away from INDUTHERM or from the next INDUTHERM sales representative. The GSM modem allows us to check all important parameters and connect them. Many possible operating troubles can be recognised soon enough and avoided. In the case of disturbances or of complicated casting procedures we can help quickly and easily. |
Turbo-Pressure function | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
 | The turbo-pressure function optimizes the casting of very small and filigree items and guarantees a perfect casting with stones in the jewelry production. Thanks to turbo-pressure a very quick and exactly defined pressure increasement is reached during the cast out. In the case of the VC 600 as well as in all P versions (with control program) the turbo-pressure starts automatically according to the program chosen and can always be started at the same time, precisely within a second. |
Flask temperature measurement | ||
|---|---|---|
 | Thanks to the digital control and recording over data printer as well as to the program control of our machines, we make it possible to reach a high process security and guarantee casting processes according to ISO Certificate. Up to now, the flasks with wrong or different temperature were a risk. When casting very small or filigree parts, the flask temperature is decisive. Very often, the temperature indicated on the melting furnaces is not precise enough. The flask may also cool down between the removal from the furnace and the beginning of the casting process. The supplementary measurement of flask temperature (standard from VC 500 D on) enables now the decisive security. The flask temperature can be precisely checked within 1° C. |
