We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Casting Machine",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Manufacturingtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Continuous cast Cu:Mg alloys controlled finely from
Rautomead International, which we summarised at the time by saying "A novel resistance-heated continuous casting furnace design enables magnesium to be accurately controlled and uniformly distributed in copper-magnesium alloys".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release Upwards vertical caster produces Cu-Mg rod from
Rautomead International: "An upwards vertical casting machine uses a graphite crucible, electrical resistance heating and nitrogen gas protection of the internal hot-working parts to produce copper-magnesium rod".
In November 2007, we covered the news from Frech
- take a look at Die casting machine company expands capacity
which says: "Die casting machine builder, Oskar Frech, has taken over the die casting business of Mueller Weingarten, extending machine capacity up to extends its capability up to 52,000kN (5,200 tonsf)".
Take a look also at the news release from Paragon Rapid Technologies, RP/RM firm expands vacuum casting capacity,
as well as Engineering group offers versatile foundry service from Mike Page - editor's feature articles,
and Die casting and CNC machining from Scotland from Subcon.
