A Modern, Automated Casting Floor
To enhance throughput and eliminate variation, many of our die casting cells are equipped with ABB robotic automation. These robots support:
- Precise ladling and metal handling
- Automated spraying and die preparation
- Consistent part removal
- Fast, repeatable cycle times
With automation managing repetitive and timing-critical tasks, our casting process stays stable, efficient, and remarkably consistent across long production runs.
Equipment Built for the Demands of Real Manufacturing
Hot-Chamber Machines
Presses: 35, 50, and 150 tons.
Ideal for zinc alloys, delivering:
- Fast cycle times
- Excellent detail and thin-wall capability
- Minimal energy loss during the melt-to-mold process
Cold-Chamber Machines
Presses: 50, 350, and 500 tons.
Used for aluminum casting, providing:
- High-strength structural parts
- Controlled metal delivery and pressure
- Capability for larger, more demanding components
We run trusted names like Toshiba and National, recognized globally for their accuracy, durability, and uptime. Supported by in-house maintenance and tooling, these machines deliver reliable performance every day.
Repeatable Quality Built Into Every Casting Cell
Our die casting equipment is paired with:
- Precise temperature and pressure controls
- Preventative maintenance on dies, pistons, and shot systems
- Inline monitoring for cycle timing and process stability
- Automation-assisted consistency on every shot
This disciplined equipment setup ensures consistent accuracy throughout every cycle, for the long run.
