Abstract: Casting is one of the important moulding processes in a manufacturing industry. Many investigations are being carried related to casting for increasing the efficiency & operator safety. Where efficiency is affected parameters like permeability, collapsibility, adhesiveness etc... Automation in this field helps to improve the foundry & its accuracy of a cast part. So, a pneumatically controlled rammer has been developed to control the sequential movement of double acting cylinders which is further automated by 5/2 way pilot operated direction control valve and 3/2 way Roller limit switches for movement of rammers. The dead weight of the rammer has been increased to 12.5 Kg. So, we are able to achieve effectiveness in ramming with limited time.
Keywords: 3/2 way flow control valve, 5/2 way pilot operated direction control valve, Double actuating rammer.
