Automating the Casting Operation

Wagstaff AutoCast™ allows the aluminum producer to fully leverage the investment in Wagstaff casting equipment by optimizing conditions in the casting station and reducing operator exposure to molten metal. Maintaining consistent casting practices and controlling process variables is the key to casting high-quality rolling ingot and extrusion billet.

Wagstaff AutoCast provides the necessary consistency and repeatability through an integrated, scalable solution customized to meet the control needs of any size casting operation. Each AutoCast system consists of four basic elements: machine control, process control, process management, and human-to-machine interface (HMI).
