Gauss Automazione was set up in 1967 by a group of partners, still at the head of the company, who perceived the need for fullyautomated systems to convey cast aluminium from the holding furnaces to the pressure die-casting machines. These systems, which are still being produced, enabled Gauss to specialise in the casting of aluminium alloys, with special emphasis on gravity die-casting. GAUSS AUTOMAZIONE today employs a staff of over 80 and has a yearly turnover of well over ten million euro. With over three decades' experience Gauss is the ideal partner for small and large aluminium

Evolut foundry applications: Aluminium, cast-iron casting and core fettling, gravity chilling, robotised cells for o sandblasting process, core assembling cells. Each process can be managed through Hawk++ vision systems which are able to identify and detect different kinds of objects thanks to sophisticated research algorisms, to identify their positions, angular orientations and to check burr presence. In this last case, used for fettling processes, the vision system interacts with the robot modifying its path and its velocities according to the burr itself. Another Evolut know-how in
