They Can Take The Heat - Foundry Robots

A foundry is type of fac­to­ry that melts and forms met­al into dif­fer­ent shapes and forms. Because foundries deal with melt­ed met­als, it is often a hot and dan­ger­ous envi­ron­ment for human work­ers, which is why robots are per­fect for the job. Foundry robots are able to work in this haz­ardous envi­ron­ments with­out being affect­ed by the conditions.

Humans have worked in foundries for decades. Unfor­tu­nate­ly, the human body is sus­cep­ti­ble to all kinds of issues that go along with high heat envi­ron­ments, like burns, heat stroke and exhaus­tion. Com­pa­nies have devel­oped robots that have spe­cial coat­ings and are able to work in this kinds of envi­ron­ments, allow­ing human work­ers to move to less haz­ardous con­di­tions in the factory.

When robots are able to take over for foundry work­ers, the health lev­el in the fac­to­ry should improve over­all, as should the pro­duc­tiv­i­ty of the shop. Because of the con­di­tions, work­ers may move slow­er in the hot con­di­tions, which is not an issue for foundry robot­ic sys­tems. Robots made for foundries are able to work at top per­for­mance 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. This means that they don’t need vaca­tions or sick time, and man­u­fac­tur­ers do not face the same pos­si­ble slow­downs or pro­duc­tion inter­rup­tions that might be com­mon with human work­ers in a foundry environment.

Do you have a foundry that is beg­ging to be auto­mat­ed? Are you inter­est­ed in learn­ing more about foundry robots and what they can do for your fac­to­ry? If this is the case, then you should give Robots​.com a call.
