Attendees included representatives from companies across England, Scotland and Northern Ireland, such as Castings P.L.C., Drysdale Brothers Ltd., Grainger and Worrall Ltd., William Lee Ltd., Joseph & Jesse Siddons Ltd. und Linamar Light Metals Belfast Ltd. The seminar provided in-depth training on core shooting techniques, tool requirements, sand conditioning, and safety protocols, accompanied by a factory tour.
A key focus of the event was the future of core manufacturing technology, including groundbreaking advancements in 3D printing and data-driven control systems. Customers gained valuable insights into the possibilities of automation and the use of data-based control systems including AI support to optimise production processes.
Rudolf Wintgens, Managing Director of Laempe Mössner Sinto, emphasised the importance of technological progress:
‘We are in a time in which core manufacturing technology is reaching new dimensions. The use of 3D printing and data-based control systems will revolutionise our production processes and at the same time support our environmental and energy goals.’
The seminar also highlighted the latest innovations in binder processes, including increased adoption of solvent-reduced organic binders and inorganic systems for the cast iron sector. These advances are driving both sustainability and efficiency improvements in manufacturing.
Hands-on exchange and the latest trends were the focus
Bob Sims, Managing Director of Laempe+Sims, the UK and Ireland representative, added:
"Our training sessions not only provide technical knowledge but also prepare our customers for future challenges. Technologies like 3D printing allow for cost-effective production of complex cores, giving businesses a crucial competitive edge."
Attendees valued the practical discussions on tool requirements, the gassing process, and machine maintenance. Customer feedback on the use and maintenance of the core shooters has also been received and will be considered in any design changes or new machine designs moving forward. Laempe Mössner Sinto demonstrated its role as both a technology leader and a forward-thinking partner in the continuous advancement of core manufacturing.
Future-focused technologies such as 3D printing for small series and complex components, as well as energy optimization, were key elements of Laempe’s strategy. Attendees gained a comprehensive understanding of how these technologies can be applied to their own production lines, providing significant competitive advantages.
This event further cemented Laempe Mössner Sinto’s position at the forefront of global core manufacturing, not only through its cutting-edge technology but also through its commitment to providing clients with the latest knowledge and solutions.
