APG Clamping Units: Reliable, Sturdy and Long-Lasting

The modular arrangement of the clamping units for the automatic pressure gelation allows to adapt the equipment exactly to the customer’s needs. For example, the core pullers (top, bottom, lateral) and the tilting of the machine around one or two axes can be integrated as option or installed later. It is also possible to provide the unit with a quick-clamp system for fast and easy mould change.

All systems are provided with a very sturdy and warp resistant machine frame, which is optimized for the occurring changes in load. The massive moving carriage suspends from precision guidances, ensuring absolute parallel closing as well as clean and smooth opening of the sensitive clamped casting moulds.

Thanks to the modern and intuitive control, just one click is necessary to change the screen and edit parameters quickly. Functions like cylinder positions, heating parameters (temperatures and PID values) and hydraulic pressure are clearly visible. All process-relevant steps can be selected from a library and stored as program along with the other parameters.

The simple and modern mechanical machine arrangement minimizes the necessity for maintenance and repair. No components are used that are subject to excessive wear. Therefore, the down times per year as well as costs arising for maintenance and service are very low.
