Automatic casting for production of copper inserted lead parts at rates up to 60 cycles per hour. The process begins with an operator loading the copper inserts into the fixture and imitating the automatic process. The inserts are transferred to the pre-heat station, and then moved to the fluxing station, the inverted fixture is then moved to the tinning station, after which encapsulation of the part by the two mold halves ready for lead pouring. The lead is dispensed by the proven Wirtz LDS method, after cooling the gates are sheared off and ejected for reprocessing by the lead furnace. The finished parts are moved to the unload station. All the processes and controls by way of Programmable Logic Controls.
