has installed an LAX Cyclone oven. “Cores dry faster at lower operating temperatures and have improved the process greatly.” Five-horsepower, 700F (371C) turbine fans in each
zone provide efficient airflow at a low operating cost. Te Cyclone’s body has 3/16-in. welded plate construction and 6-in. mineral board insulation. Te heating system consists of direct fired Maxon APX excess air-fired burners with UV scanners to monitor the flame and an FM-style ventless gas train. Te Cyclone oven also can be equipped with a flat wire mesh belt that rides on a slide bed constructed of mild steel powered by a variable frequency drive to control feed rate. “Te industry needed a more energy efficient, low main-
tenance oven that offered complete process control,” said Jeffrey C. Mitchell, president, LaX Engineered Solutions.
“We are confident this fills that need.” ■ Visit

Metalcaster Leverages Simulation, FEA For Fast Conversion 铸造企业利用模拟、有限元分析实现快速生产
Monarch Industries Ltd., Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada,
places a premium on speed when exploring converting weldment conversions to castings. In 2013, this emphasis on quickly dealing with the early stages of a project led the ductile iron caster to successfully convert a component for agricultural tillage equipment manufacturer Wil-Rich, Wahpeton, N.D. Previously constructed with eight steel pieces (torch cut and bent or saw cut, then welded and machined), the component is a double disc ripper that is the main mount- ing structure for the shank assembly to be attached to the tillage unit frame. It also contains three of the major pivot points for the trip assembly. Monarch Industries, after receiving a solid model of the weldment, created an initial cast design that addressed fit, form and function within a week.
Monarch工业公司（加拿大曼尼托巴省温尼伯市）在 将焊件改为铸件的研究中以速度为先。2013年，对于项 目早期阶段快速发展的重视使该球墨铸铁铸造企业为农 耕机具生产商瓦佩顿的Wil-Rich公司成功改革部件。 之前，该部件由8块钢片组成（火焰切割、弯曲、锯 痕、焊接和机加工），是一个两片式粗齿锯，并且是与 农具整体机架连接的手柄组装的主体安装结构。 Monarch工业公司在接收到焊件的实体模型后，提 出了一个最初的铸件设计方案， 在一周内解决了匹配、形状和功 能等问题。满足了客户的一些需求 后，Monarch工业公司同步开展了 有限元分析和模拟实验。 “我们的有限元分析是一流
每个干燥区域的5个马力，371℃的涡轮风扇以较 低的操作成本提供有效的气流。气流烘箱箱体有3/16 英寸的焊接板结构，6英寸的矿物绝缘板。加热系统 包括直接加热的Maxon APX额外的空气燃烧器，其紫 外线扫描仪可监视火焰，以及一台调频式无孔燃气火 车。气流烘箱还可以在低碳钢的滑床上装配一条扁线 网带，通过变频驱动控制加料速度。
“铸造行业需要可提供完整工艺控制的具有更高能 效和低维护成本的烘箱，” LaX工程解决方案公司董 事长Jeffrey C. Mitchell说，“我们相信气流烘箱可以
满足这些需求。” ■ 了解更多信息，请访问
