Add to that our capac- ity to produce shell or cold box cores to match any casting design, and the many possibilities available with Charlotte become very evident. A modern in-house pattern shop ensures seamless tooling development, whether our customers have existing equipment requiring up-fit or if they are starting from a draw- ing with a solid model. A Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM) is used to verify dimensional ac- curacy of both finished castings and tooling. Charlotte maintains a competitive advantage on the casting produc- tion side by using a 70-ton-per-hour melting facility and automatic pouring, as well as coor- dinated hot metal transfer
