𝗣𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝗻 𝗱𝘆𝗻𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗰 𝘄𝗲𝗶𝗴𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗮𝘂𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗽𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗺𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀   In large-scale foundries, automatic pouring machines control the filling of molds from ladles containing molten iron. These highly sophisticated installations rely on numerous sensors and motion axes to ensure a stable and repeatable pouring process. At the heart of this process is one critical parameter: real-time weight measurement. Together with our partner EASYsa, Digi Sens load cells are integrated directly on the pouring ladle and provide continuous weight data throughout the pouring cycle. Via a dedicated acquisition system and EtherCAT communication, highly dynamic measurement data is delivered in real time to the pouring control system. The control algorithms use this information to compensate for ladle movements, apply advanced filtering techniques, and predict flow variations during pouring. The result is exceptional pouring accuracy, even under demanding dynamic conditions. - Pouring precision of ±1 kg - Reduced residual metal on molds - Lower pouring weight and reduced overall metal consumption - Improved process efficiency and product quality   This project demonstrates how precise and reliable measurement technology can directly contribute to higher production quality and more sustainable foundry operations. A big thank you to the EASYsa team for the excellent cooperation and trust in Digi Sens measurement technology.   #DigiSens #Easysa #LoadCells #IndustrialAutomation #Foundry #WeighingTechnology #EtherCAT #ProcessControl #Industry40 #Engineering #Partnership
