THE STANDARD IN LOW PRESSURE DIE CASTING MACHINES
The 4+4 column vertical press is placed above the holding furnace, which, by means of a mechanical scissor lift system, can be raised to 250 mm to reach its working position. The furnace is mounted on guideways allowing it to move horizontally and slide out frontally for easy maintenance. On request, a tilting feature can also be supplied to facilitate loading operations of the molten material and easy cleaning. The electric holding refractory furnace, with proportional pressurization control, is brought to working temperature by three heating elements protected by APM tubes made of sintered steel. Casting ejection is hydraulically operated and a rotary arm catches the casting and removes it from the press swivelling outwards, thus guaranteeing maximum safety for the operator. Thermal control of the mold is achieved through a system of 8 separate circuits (air, water, or a mix) and PLC managed.
The switch and control cabinet and hydraulic pack complete the assembly.
