The robust semi-automatic machine with full flexibilty for professionals at low investment costs


Full flexibility at low investment costs. Every important feature can be fetched and affected throughout the casting process. Differential pressure casting as well as vacuum pressure casting are possible. The machine for an absolute expert with highest knowledge. Suitable from minimal amounts of silver up to more than 2 kg gold alloys in one cast. Available in the model lines "classic", "power" and "supreme", the VPC055 is ideal from smaller product batches up to 120 casts per shift.

Full casting flexibility

- Vacuum pressure casting and differential pressure casting technique invented by Schultheiss

- Individually influenceable casting process (any time)

- Optimum melt treatment owing to vacuum technique and strong inductive mixing effect

- Ideal temperature control due to professional control algorithms

- Automatic cast or manual operation can be chosen

- Direct-vibration-technology optional

 

Reliable & long-living

- All components are made for and tested on long-life cycle

- 30 years experience in engineering casting machines

- Completely water re-cooled – built for non-stop operation

 

Lower overall costs per cast

- Ideal investment costs

- Minor follow-up costs due to robustness and long life-cycle of the machine

- Process enhancement due to ultimately rapid cycle times of 4 minutes only

Control Features

tl_files/bilder/8_Features/gusskontrolle.jpg

Auto-Cast
digitally controlled casting for reproducible casting results with complete pressure and temperature control automatic

 

Superior Temperature Sensor
alternate temperature sensor with increased precision and regulation functionality; sensor is developed and produced by a third party sensor specialist

 

Casting Features

tl_files/bilder/8_Features/gusstechnik.jpg

Pressure Differential Casting more...
differential pressure system for significantly increasing the castability of capillary structures and filigree parts as well as for working with dense embedding compound

 

Max Speed Overpressure more...
fastest pressure build-up of overpressure worldwide - fast pressure build-up improves the mould filling as well as the surface quality; Schultheiss machines allow for the quick build-up of overpressure at simultaneous lowest inert gas consumption and therefore low running costs

  

Superior Melt System
direct temperature sensing in the metal, therefore fastest heating and avoiding of over-heating; easy filling of the crucible (also for bulky items); optimized heating and temperature control of small melting quantities; patented asymmetrical crucible

 

Flangeless Flask
possibility to use flangeless flasks; including flask lift

 

Protective Gas Regulator
enhanced protection of crucible and sealing rod due to adjustable inert gas flow gauge (alternatively fixed inert gas flow)

 

Metallurgy Features

tl_files/bilder/8_Features/metallurgie.jpg

Direct Vibration Technology more...
grain refining of the cast parts, therefore improvement of mechanical and optical properties; direct vibration patented system which allows to directly vibrate during and after pouring into the flask; therefore, significant enhancement of the grain refining as compared to the delayed Sweep Vibration of already partially solid parts

 

Mixing Booster more...
pulsing and swiveling of the liquid metal for optimized mixing of alloy constituents

 

Super Alloying
automatic alloying of the melt at high temperature (above the casting temperature) before pouring / casting

 

Inductive Power Mixing more...
inductive heating for good mixing effect; machines are designed for optimal heating frequency and high oscillating circuit quality (best in class)

 

Quality Control Features

tl_files/bilder/8_Features/qualikontrolle.jpg

Casting Process Control
to identify and assign weaknesses in the casting mould, the flask seal, in the process or in the casting / pouring; tool to raise manufacturing efficiency

 

integrated printer / RS232
casting report on reference and actual data; quality control and identification of weaknesses in the casting process; tool to ensure manufacturing efficiency; including RS232 connection (inside the machine)

 

System Diagnose Basic
information on cleaning and maintenance intervals

 

System Diagnose Advanced more...
log of all system data to assign and point out machine defects and operating errors; supervision of the system components for maintenance works

 

Sensor Monitoring
display menu for the sensors; VPC055, VPC066 and VPC100: water flow pressure, water return pressure, air; inert gas / pressure gas, chamber and cask position
