MOULD REPAIR WORK CENTERS

Numerical controlled automation is being introduced to glass mould repair by Italian welding equipment supplier COMMERSALD s.p.a. This task had remained dependent on the manual application of spray-fused canisters and powder products long after other aspects of the manufacturing process had been automated.

Now Commersald Engineering believes that its Robo series of workstations can perform all the necessary functions of repairing moulds and other glass accessories. The welding equipment, complete with torches and power supplies compatible with various movements, planned and constructed entirely by Commersald Engineering, can be selected according to need. It is available in various configurations and with power ranging from 200-400 A.

All these work centres are managed by numerical control, (NC) with dedicated software for both management of movements and for welding parameters. Programming is ISO standard, the same as normal NC machines for removing shavings. Commersald claims to be leading European supplier of Plasma Transferred Arc plants, as well as focusing on developing new products and improving its machinery in every aspect.

It also places emphasis in the assistance it provides, often external, for customers. This includes customizing machines for their specific requirements.
