Automated Loading and Unloading System for Fragile Foundry Cores

Loading and unloading foundry cores between production and subsequent processes requires careful handling because cores are fragile and geometrically complex. Manual handling creates operator dependency, ergonomic concerns and variation. The challenge is to automate safe transfer and accurate positioning while preventing damage and maintaining production cycle time.
