Robotic Casting Finishing

Application

Robotic Gate Removal

Automate Foundry Finishing to Improve Safety and Product Quality

In metal foundries, removing gates, runners, and risers from sand castings is one of the most demanding finishing tasks. It’s hot, heavy, and difficult to perform consistently by hand.

Robotic casting finishing automates these processes, using durable metal foundry tools and high-torque spindles to safely remove excess material, reduce rework, and deliver cleaner, ready-to-machine castings.

What Makes Robotic Casting Finishing Different?

Robotic casting finishing uses high-powered servo spindles and cutoff tools to remove gates, runners, and risers left behind after the metal casting process.

Unlike manual grinding or sawing, robotic systems maintain constant force and cutting speed, ensuring uniform removal without damaging the casting surface.

PushCorp’s heavy-duty spindles withstand the impact loads and vibration of aggressive cutoff applications, while compliance devices maintain consistent contact on irregular shapes. The result is smoother, safer, and more repeatable foundry finishing—no matter the alloy or cast part geometry.

Foundry Casting Finishing Application Types

PushCorp’s robotic foundry finishing systems handle ferrous and non-ferrous castings with consistent, repeatable performance. From aluminum castings to ductile iron and steel parts, robots automate gate removal, cutoffs, deflashing, and deburring to improve safety and deliver cleaner, more uniform components.
