Shell Robot - Four-arm Shell-making Robot
DJXS-4P Four-Arm Shell-Making Robot: Advanced Investment Casting Automation
The DJXS-4P Four-Arm Shell-Making Robot (our 5th-generation patented innovation) is a high-performance solution designed to fully automate the mold shell-making process in precision investment casting. By integrating cutting-edge mechanical and electrical systems, this robot eliminates the inconsistencies of manual labor, delivering high efficiency and superior shell quality for modern foundries.
Precision Mechanical & Multi-Arm System
The DJXS-4P features a robust rotary base equipped with four synchronized robotic arms, each engineered for multi-axis movement:
Complete Process Automation: Seamlessly performs the entire shell-making cycle—including picking, dipping (slurry coating), dripping, and sanding (stuccoing).
Precision Motion Control: Each arm is capable of independent lifting, swinging, and high-speed rotation to ensure uniform coating thickness even on complex geometries.
Heavy-Duty Build: Designed with a compact footprint and stable structure to withstand the demanding environment of an industrial foundry.
Intelligent PLC Electrical Control
Equipped with an advanced electrical core, the DJXS-4P offers a user-friendly and highly repeatable operation:
Smart Interface: Controlled via a PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) and an intuitive touchscreen HMI, allowing operators to program and monitor shell-making recipes in real-time.
Stepping System Accuracy: Controls turntable rotation and arm movements with high precision, ensuring that every mold shell is produced with identical consistency.
Energy-Efficient Design: Operates on 380V, 50Hz power with an optimized installed power of 9–11 kW, reducing operational overhead.
Technical Specifications & Performance
The DJXS-4P is engineered to maximize throughput while maintaining a small factory footprint:
High Output: Achieves a production speed of 3–4 groups per minute, significantly boosting foundry capacity.
Workpiece Capacity: Handles a maximum size of φ450 × 500 mm and a weight capacity of up to 30 kg per group.
Labor Reduction: One robot can replace multiple manual workstations, drastically reducing labor intensity and safety risks.
Why Choose the 5th-Gen DJXS-4P?
Patented Technology: Benefit from our 5th-generation design, optimized for long-term reliability and lower maintenance.
Process Reliability: Automated dipping and sanding cycles eliminate human error, leading to fewer shell cracks and higher casting yields.
Turnkey Integration: Easily integrates into existing lost wax casting production lines to modernize your manufacturing workflow.
