installed and serves more than 450 CoreCenters, cells that include all necessary components in core pro- duction and are capable of fulfilling a wide variety of orders. Now, LaempeReich has added an
additional level of service—this one at its U.S. headquarters. Dubbed the CoreRoom, the company’s newest business unit allows custom- ers and potential customers to see LaempeReich’s core production capabilities. It also allows Laempe- Reich’s engineering team to provide advice, support and demonstrations throughout the sales process. Te CoreRoom offers core trials and research and development. Te onsite Laempe LFB25 CoreCenters currently produce phenolic urethane cold box cores from a few ounces to 100 lbs. For customer core trials, the typical path includes significant
collaboration with LaempeReich’s team. Following the initial development of equipment, the customer sends LaempeReich existing shell coreboxes for conversion. LaempeReich engineers
then convert the tooling and place it in production to optimize the process and cycle time. Finished cores are shipped to the customer, who runs them in production for verification. Additionally, customers with equipment orders are able to send personnel to the Laempe- Reich CoreRoom for hands-on training in advance of installation. “Te customer will send a team here

Te CoreRoom also provides cores to metalcasting facilities
for prototyping, high production jobs and complex core assem- blies. It also supplies customers during assembly of coremak- ing machines and helps metalcasters fill voids for specific jobs they cannot run.
