Casting machines used in the jewelry industry are special equipment that generally enables metal alloys to be melted and poured into specific molds. Here are some of the casting machines commonly used in jewelery making:
1. Induction Casting Machines: Induction casting machines use the principle of induction heating to melt metal alloys quickly and homogeneously. These machines quickly heat and melt metal parts with high-frequency electric current. Induction casting machines generally provide high precision and efficiency.
2. Small-Scale Casting Furnaces: Furnaces can be used in jewelry workshops for smaller-scale casting processes. These furnaces are used to heat and melt metal alloys to specific temperatures. They usually run on gas or electricity and are available in a variety of capacities.
3. Vacuum Casting Machines: Vacuum casting machines use vacuum pressure to prevent air bubbles in the mold during the casting process. These machines are used to obtain high quality and homogeneous casting results. Vacuum casting machines are generally preferred for the production of sensitive and complex parts.
4. Die Casting Machines: Die casting machines are used to pour metal alloys into molds under pressure. These machines are ideal for the production of parts that require higher strength and tighter tolerances. Die casting machines generally have high production capacities and are suitable for mass production.
Each of these machines is designed for different casting needs and production volumes. Jewelry workshops take into account factors such as production capacity, precision, cost and ease of use when choosing the casting machine that best suits their needs.
