Gates and Riser Cutting Machines
Gates and riser cutting machines are specialized tools used in foundries and casting industries to precisely remove gates, runners, and risers from cast metal components. These machines are designed to automate the process of cutting and separating these gating systems, which are used to facilitate the flow of molten metal into molds during casting. Gates are the channels through which molten metal enters the mold cavity, while risers serve as reservoirs to prevent shrinkage and porosity in the final casting. Gates and riser cutting machines employ various cutting techniques, such as sawing, shearing, or plasma cutting, to efficiently remove these gating systems while minimizing damage to the cast component. These machines enhance productivity, reduce manual labor, and ensure consistent removal of gating materials, contributing to improved casting quality and overall manufacturing efficiency in the metalcasting industry.
