Technique simplifies production leak testing
Leak test technique simplifies and increases production leak test repeatability and selects the ideal fill and stabilization times based on the volume and temperature of the product.
Robots offer casting fettling flexibility
Tricept robots provide improved parts quality, higher productivity and better working conditions in foundries for cleaning and pre-machining automotive aluminium castings.
New design features, such as a stationary operating head, shot control and a two-stage melt pot, provide options for advanced automation up to full robotic operation.
Pneumatic injection increases operating capability by 50% for greater productivity, reduced operating costs and improved die cast integrity.
IMA technology uses molten zinc alloy to die cast a component while it is simultaneously joined to other components in an assembly, or to form and join an end termination directly onto a wire, cable, rod or shaft.
This manufacturing process eliminates one or more pre-manufactured parts from the assembly as well as multiple joining methods for increased cost saving.
The precision die casting tool ensures high quality, close tolerance part-to-part consistency with no secondary finishing required.
The zinc alloy, with mechanical properties equivalent to low carbon steel, forms a high strength component, and the alloy's fluidity allows casting of complex, intricate detail.
