FOUK Gripper Application Case in Die Casting Industry: Ningbo Zongxuan Robotics High Temperature and High Pressure Adaptation Solution

Application Area: Die Casting Automation | Client: Ningbo Zongxuan Robotics Co., Ltd. | Core Advantages: High Temperature Resistance + High Pressure Impact Resistance + Precise Positioning

Client Background: A Deep Cultivator in Die Casting Automation

Ningbo Zongxuan Robotics Co., Ltd. focuses on the R&D and integration of robots and die casting automation equipment, providing end-to-end automated solutions for die casting processes for clients in the automotive, home appliance, and other industries. Their die casting workpiece gripping process requires stable operation in harsh environments with high temperatures and high-frequency impacts, placing stringent requirements on the material properties and structural stability of the end grippers.

Core Pain Points: The Triple Challenge of High Temperature, High Pressure, and High-Frequency Impact

1. Extreme High Temperature Corrosion: In the die casting process, the temperature of the newly formed workpiece is extremely high, and molten metal easily splashes onto the gripper surface. Ordinary gripper materials are prone to thermal deformation and strength reduction, leading to decreased gripping accuracy.

2. High-Frequency Impact Damage: The die casting process is accompanied by high-frequency vibration and mechanical impact. Traditional gripper transmission structures are prone to loosening and wear, shortening service life and increasing equipment maintenance frequency.

3. Precision Affects Finished Product Quality: The clamping force stability and positioning accuracy of the grippers are directly related to the mold fit and the quality of the die-cast parts. The original grippers experienced precision drift at high temperatures, resulting in a high defect rate in the workpieces.

FOUK Customized Solution: A Precision Solution for High Temperature and Impact Resistance Addressing the extreme working conditions of the die-casting industry, FOUK has optimized the entire process from material selection and structural design to performance testing, creating specialized grippers suitable for die-casting scenarios:

1. High-End Materials for High-Temperature Resistance: Utilizing 7075 aerospace-grade aluminum alloy as the base material, this material combines high strength with excellent high-temperature resistance. Combined with a high-temperature anti-oxidation coating, it effectively resists high-temperature corrosion and metal splash damage, ensuring the structural stability of the grippers in extreme environments.

2. Optimized Impact-Resistant Structure: Innovative design of reinforced transmission components and buffer structures enhances the overall rigidity of the grippers, reduces the impact of high-frequency vibration and impact on core components, and improves the structure's fatigue resistance.

3. Precise Clamping System Guarantee: Integrating a stable clamping force control module and a high-precision guiding structure ensures the grippers maintain stable clamping force and positioning accuracy even in high-temperature environments, preventing product quality issues caused by accuracy drift.

4. Full-Process Performance Verification: Through tens of thousands of clamping cycle tests simulating die-casting conditions, the performance stability and reliability of the grippers under high-temperature and impact environments are comprehensively verified, ensuring suitability for actual production needs.

Application Benefits: Stable Performance Under Harsh Conditions

1. Improved High-Temperature Stability: The grippers exhibit no thermal deformation during continuous operation under the high-temperature conditions of die casting, maintaining stable material strength and effectively meeting the continuous operation requirements of customers' automated production lines.

2. Optimized Impact Resistance and Lifespan: The reinforced structural design significantly improves the impact resistance of the grippers, reducing equipment maintenance frequency and significantly extending service life compared to traditional grippers.

3. Guaranteed Finished Product Quality: Stable clamping force and precise positioning accuracy effectively reduce workpiece defects caused by gripper accuracy issues, helping customers improve the yield rate of die-cast products.

Thanks to its outstanding performance under extreme working conditions, this solution has become a core supporting product for Ningbo Zongxuan Robotics' die-casting automation equipment, fully demonstrating the adaptability of FOUK grippers in harsh industrial environments.
