Poughkeepise, NY, October 9, 2013: MPI, the worldwide leader in wax-room equipment <\/strong>once again made a splash at this year\u2019s ICI Technical Conference and Expo in Pittsburgh, PA. This year\u2019s theme revolved around the tremendous benefits that MPI customers are experiencing by incorporating automation<\/strong><\/a> into their wax room.<\/p>\n MPI\u2019s presentation focused on several automation<\/strong><\/a> projects including their full line of automated injection cells. MPI chose to profile their Model 20-06<\/strong><\/a> which is capable of producing wax patterns from the simplest commercial parts to complex patterns required by the medical and aerospace industries.<\/p>\n MPI also featured the Model 20-14, MPI\u2019s second-generation Automated Pattern Assembly System. The 20-14<\/a><\/strong> allows customers the flexibility to perform high quality, precision robotic assemblies from basic jobs to sophisticated multi-piece wax assemblies including single crystal turbine blades.<\/p>\n Booth visitors were also impressed to learn that operation of MPI\u2019s automated cells did not require any robot programming knowledge because the robot controls are integrated into the easy-to-use touch screen interface.<\/p>\n Also popular at the MPI booth were the 3-dimensional cubes that MPI gave away. The cube could be opened in multiple directions which provided a visual tour of MPI\u2019s 20-14 automated pattern assembly system<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n MPI extends its gratitude to the Investment Casting Institute for putting on a great show and to all the wonderful people that stopped by to learn more about MPI automated cells<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n About MPI: MPI is the worldwide leader in wax-room equipment and has been involved in the investment casting industry since 1972. As the acknowledged leader in wax-room innovations, MPI has developed and introduced more systems and products than all of our competition combined.<\/p>\n MPI\u2019s mission is simple \u2013 to be the most technically advanced supplier of wax-room equipment in the casting industry and to provide customers with throughput solutions that yield the highest return on their equipment investment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Poughkeepise, NY, October 9, 2013: MPI, the worldwide leader in wax-room equipment once again made a splash at this year\u2019s ICI Technical Conference and Expo in Pittsburgh, PA....

Interest in automation<\/strong><\/a> at the show was sky high.\u201d<\/blockquote>\n
\u201cBecause of the number of automation<\/strong><\/a> cells MPI currently has in operation we have been able to quantify the truly amazing results that can be achieved,\u201d said Jeff Rich, GM, MPI. \u201cOur automation<\/strong><\/a> partners are seeing increased casting yields of up to 30%, reduced scrap by 50%, cycle times that are 2 \u2013 5 times faster, and perfect patterns and assemblies 100% of the time.\u201d<\/blockquote>\n
