High-Volume Auto Parts Foundry Gets a Robotic Revamp

摘要

Two heavy-duty robots optimize and simplify the task of pouring ductile iron When GF Automotive made the decision to rebuild its ductile iron foundry in Mettman, Germany, about five years ago, robotics were a critical element of its vision for increased efficiency. The plant was already more than a century old at the time, so the estimated $46.5-million project centering on a robotic pouring and handling was a that much more novel.
