Function-Tested Wollin PSM 2 F Die Spraying Machine
The Wollin PSM 2 F die spraying machine, built in 2007, was cleaned and its mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, electrical and control-system functions were inspected. After the required components had been replaced and the machine reassembled, a final functional check was carried out in a dry cycle.
Which Wollin die spraying machine was function-tested?
The machine inspected was a Wollin PSM 2 F die spraying machine built in 2007, equipped with an SC1 control panel and two axes.
The machine has a vertical stroke of 1,300 mm and a horizontal stroke of 1,000 mm and is intended for die casting machines in the 400 to 750 t range.
Key machine data of the Wollin PSM 2 F
The PSM 2 F is designed as a two-axis die spraying machine for integration with cold-chamber die casting machines.

- Integration into the casting cycle
- Automated approach to the die
For 400–750 t die casting machines
The Wollin PSM 2 F is intended for die casting machines with a clamping-force range from 400 to 750 t.
- DCM range 400–750 t
- For cold-chamber die casting
- Integration into casting cells
- Automated die spraying technology
Which areas of the die spraying machine were inspected?
The documented scope of inspection covered not only the mechanical system, but also the hydraulics, pneumatics, electrical installation, electronics and control system.
Required parts were replaced after inspection and subsequently reintegrated into the machine.
Slides, bearings and mechanical parts
Slides, bearings and other mechanical components were checked for proper function.
Hydraulics and pneumatics
The hydraulic and pneumatic systems underwent a functional check.
Electrical installation and electronics
The electrical installation and electronic components were functionally inspected.
From cleaning to functional testing in a dry cycle
The documented work followed a clear sequence from preparation and technical inspection through to the final test.
Cleaning
The unit was first cleaned and prepared for technical inspection.
Inspection
Mechanics, hydraulics, pneumatics, electrical systems, electronics and controls were checked.
Spare parts
The specification of required original Wollin parts was prepared.
Reassembly
Required parts were replaced and the machine was then reassembled.
Dry cycle
Finally, the die spraying machine was functionally tested in a dry cycle.
Check slides, bearings and moving components
Moving components of a die spraying machine are regularly exposed to mechanical loads during production. The documented functional check therefore specifically covered slides, bearings and other mechanical parts.
Check movement function
The slides were inspected for mechanical function and freedom of movement.
Functionally inspect bearing points
Bearings and associated mechanical areas were included in the functional check.
Check vertical and horizontal movement
The two-axis system enables defined vertical and horizontal movements within the working area.
Replace required components
Components identified as necessary during the inspection were replaced.
Functionally inspect the supply systems of the die spraying machine
Hydraulic and pneumatic functions were inspected as part of the technical check in order to verify the machine sequences before the dry-cycle test.
Check hydraulic functions
The hydraulic system was included in the documented functional check.
Check pneumatic functions
The pneumatic functions were also inspected before the final functional test.
Inspect electrical installation, electronics and control system
For automated integration of a die spraying machine, electrical and control functions must operate reliably together.
- Electrical installation functionally checked
- Electronics functionally checked
- Control system inspected
- SC1 control panel included in the inspection
- Axis functions checked
- Required components replaced
- Machine reassembled
- Final dry-cycle test
Final functional check without a production process
After completion of the inspection and replacement work, the Wollin PSM 2 F was reassembled and tested in a dry cycle. This allows machine movements and basic functions to be checked without an active casting process.
Test axis functions
Vertical and horizontal machine movements can be functionally checked during the dry cycle.
Check control sequences
The control system can be tested in coordination with the mechanical movements of the machine.
Document the functional check
The dry cycle represents the final step of the inspection scope documented in the article.
Important equipment information
According to the existing offer, the Wollin PSM 2 F is supplied without spray tool and without lubricant tank.
When planning the project, it should therefore be checked which existing or additional components are required for integration into the respective die casting cell.
Automated die spraying technology for the die casting process
Die spraying machines are used between casting cycles to integrate the spraying process at the die into the production sequence automatically.
Automation
The die spraying machine can be automatically integrated into the sequence of a die casting cell.
Positioning
Two axes enable vertical and horizontal positioning movements.
Machine range
The PSM 2 F is intended for die casting machines from 400 to 750 t.
Functional check
The documented machine was finally tested in a dry cycle.
Why can a tested die spraying machine be economically attractive?
If the working range, axis system and interfaces match the existing die casting machine, a function-tested used die spraying machine can provide an economical alternative to purchasing new equipment.
Check important functions in advance
Mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic and electrical functions were inspected before the machine was offered.
Replace required parts
Within the documented scope, required parts were replaced and subsequently reinstalled.
Add to an existing die casting cell
If the technical requirements are suitable, the machine can be integrated into an existing die casting cell.
Continue using existing technology
Reusing automation equipment extends the life cycle of existing industrial equipment.
