The Quiptec "Grind-Aid" provides a modern foundry cleaning room with an innovative machine to clamp, position, and rotate a large range of differing casting shapes, sizes and weights. Careful attention to detail has produced a high quality, rugged machine which eliminates most of the manhandling of castings necessary during snag-grinding and cleaning operations.

Casting Manipulator

Features

  • Two-axis positioning produces three-dimensional movement of the casting. Almost any desired position may be obtained for optimum operator efficiency.

  • The casting is clamped on the face-plate by a spring-powered mandrel and released pneumatically, allowing for quick clamping and release. The casting is held to the faceplate with a pull force up to 4000 lbs.

  • When special tooling for specific applications is used, the exposed faceplate with pre-machined fixing holes provides a variety of locating options. Custom engineered tooling for unique or specific user requirements is also available.
