Congratulations on the successful installation of the first set of shelling line equipment in India! The positive feedback and satisfaction from the end user are great indicators of how well the technology is being received in the market. OTDS system has made significant strides in improving shelling processes for investment casting foundries.

JOC Machinery Co., Ltd. was founded in the year 2000, an engineering company specialized in manufacturing and exporting of machinery parts and fully complete manufactured equipment. The ranges of products and services covering railway freight car and railway industries, construction and building machinery, petroleum machinery, power cable production lines, electric power fittings, industrial valves and etc. have been exported to more than forty countries and regions of the world. The owned investment casting foundry is main production base.

JOC Machinery focus on innovation with products like the OCTOPUS robot seems to be addressing some key challenges in the industry, like increasing production capacity, improving quality consistency, and reducing defects such as welding repairs and scrap. The fact that this technology has already been successfully implemented at Uni-Metals foundry further validates its effectiveness and value in real-world conditions.

The OTDS system, which includes key components such as OCTOPUS (9-Axis CNC automatic shelling and gripping & hanging robot), Transfer Robot, Drying Line, and Wax Storage Line, offers a comprehensive solution for automating the shelling process in investment casting foundries. The system is designed to enhance production efficiency, quality consistency, and overall automation levels within the casting industry.

OCTOPUS robot, as the core equipment of the OTDS system, was developed over several years by JOC Machinery and UNI-METALS, and has been in production since 2022. One of its most notable features is the ability to automatically identify and grip the wax trees from the drying line, coat them with slurry, control the slurry, and apply rainfall sand (float sand). After coating, the robot automatically hangs the wax trees back on the drying line. This process not only streamlines operations but also significantly enhances production precision and consistency.

OTDS system allows for greater flexibility in performing complex coating tasks. Its advanced control system can precisely regulate the thickness of each slurry layer and adjust the speed of coating and uniformity of the sand layer. These features not only improve production efficiency but also optimize the quality of each batch, greatly reducing defects and the need for rework during the casting process.

Additionally, the OTDS system boasts an easy-to-learn operating interface and a design that simplifies maintenance and adjustments. This allows operators to quickly master the system, reducing the need for extensive technical training. The system’s design also makes maintenance more convenient, minimizing downtime and further enhancing production efficiency.

Since its implementation in 2022 at UNI-METALS’ foundry, OTDS has received highly positive feedback and has proven to be effective in optimizing production processes. This technology has not only improved operational efficiency but also enabled the digital transformation of investment casting. It allows foundries to operate in a more efficient, precise, and stable manner.

The success of OTDS marks the beginning of a new era of automation and intelligence in the investment casting industry. As this technology continues to gain traction, it is poised to become the preferred solution for foundries around the world, bringing greater economic benefits and technological leadership to casting enterprises.
