A method for automatically cutting off a material passage part while reducing manufacturing cost and cycle time. This method includes preparing a cutting device capable of moving in an automatic control coordinate system, placing the molded article without fixing the molded article, detecting a shape of the molded article by a sensor, acquiring a position of the material passage part in the coordinate system, determining a position of a cut spot in the material passage part as a target position in the coordinate system, moving the cutting device in the coordinate system and disposing the cutting device on a work position for cutting the cut spot, and cutting the cut spot by the cutting device arranged on the work position.

A multi-arm hanging rail type casting cleaning robot comprises a traveling device, a rotating device, a lifting device, a working arm mounting seat, and four working arms mounted on an annular rail, wherein in addition to pneumatic grippers and magnetic cranes, cleaning tools such as pneumatic air picks and plasma cutters are further provided on end effecters of the working arms. The traveling device of the present invention adopts a four-point hanging supporting mode to realize long-distance stable traveling. Large arm adjusting cylinders and small arm adjusting cylinders are used to replace servo reducing motors to adjust postures of the working arms. The four working arms can jointly and synchronously work. The two pneumatic grippers, the two magnetic cranes, and the four cleaning tools can be flexibly transformed and replaced. The needs of cleaning operations can be satisfied.

A system for separating a part from a monolithic tree includes a camera positioned facing the tree and configured to identify a cut mark on a gate of the tree; and a cutter configured to cut the part from the tree at the cut mark. A method for separating a part from a monolithic tree includes marking the tree with a cut mark; identifying the cut mark with a camera; determining an orientation and a position of the cut mark; determining an orientation and a position of the tree from the orientation and the position of the cut mark; transmitting information on the orientation and position of the tree from the camera to a cutter; and cutting the part from the tree.

The present invention is related to a method for manufacturing a water cooling system (20) inside a casted cylinder head (10), the water cooling system (20) comprising an upper water jacket (21) and a lower water jacket (22) and wherein a transition channel (23) is located between the upper water jacket (21) and the lower water jacket (22). Further, the invention is related to a water cooling system (20) inside a casted cylinder head (10), comprising an upper water jacket (21) and a lower water jacket (22) wherein the upper water jacket (21) and the lower water jacket (22) are fluidly connected by at least one transition channel (23).

In molten metal jetting, where droplets of metal are jetted to 3D print a part, each layer may be traversed each successive layer with a normalizing grinding wheel or other leveling device such as a layer to level each successive layer, and/or the melt reservoir or printing chamber may be filled with an anoxic gas mix to prevent oxidation.

A thermally stable component formed of a tempered aluminum alloy casting which reduced costs is provided. The aluminum alloy typically has an elongation of at least 8% after casting, which is preferred for self-piercing rivet processes. The aluminum alloy leaves a casting facility in the as-cast (F temper) condition. The cast aluminum alloy is then shipped to another entity, such as an OEM, and is subjected to an artificial aging process, such as on the OEM's existing paint line, rather than at the casting facility. The artificial aging process typically includes electrodeposition coating and curing. The components that can be formed by the reduced cost method include lightweight automotive vehicle components, including structural, body-in-white, suspension, or chassis components, such as front shock towers, front body hinge pillars, tunnels, and rear rails.

A precast hole scab removing device is provided. The precast hole scab removing device is composed of a stand, floating columns, ejector pins, an air cylinder, clamp cylinders, supporting poles and the like. In use, a hole I and a hole II in a workpiece respectively match with a tapered part of a left floating column and a tapered part of a right floating column; by pressing down the workpiece, locating parts of the workpiece simultaneously match with the top end of a supporting pole I, the top end of a supporting pole II and the top end of a supporting pole III, a clamp cylinder I, a clamp cylinder II and a clamp cylinder III press the workpiece tightly, and at the moment, the workpiece is completely located; the air cylinder lifts down a lifting plate and the ejector pins through two guide pillars, the ejector pins are pressed into holes, in which scabs need to be removed, of the workpiece; and therefore, the scabs can be ejected out of the workpiece. The precast hole scab removing device can remove the scabs of precast holes of casting workpieces in use, the removing efficiency is high, the scabs are removed cleanly, and additionally, the precast hole scab removing device has the characteristics of high automation degree, simple structure, low manufacturing costs and the like.
