The parts A R Casting produces are made in vulcanized
rubber molds like these.
|
|
|
Our technicians layout copies of the part to be made on a rubber
mold.
|
|
The rubber mold is then placed in a
vulcanizer. Heat and pressure produce a two-piece mold that
perfectly reproduces the items to be cast.
|
|
|
The mold is then loaded into the casting machine and molten metal
is poured through a hole in the center. Centrifugal force makes
the metal flow though all the passages of the mold.
|
|
After only a moment, the mold can be removed from the casting
machine and the halves separated, and the parts can be removed.
|
|
|
The last step in the production process is tumbling the parts
to deburr and polish them. A tub
is filled with an appropriate abrasive medium, and the castings
are added.
As shown below, either ceramic beads or metal shot are used depending
on the desired finish.
|
|
|
It takes years of experience to execute each one
of these steps correctly and efficiently- and that's what
A R Casting can bring to your job: expert execution and
quality finish. Every job we put out gets the same care, whether
it is a huge several thousand piece order or a small run
of your specialty design. Call us to discuss an estimate!
