castings for slides
In large casting dies, the slides easily weigh up to 2 or 3 tons each. During the injection phase the slides have to be
locked and the resulting forces are so strong, that only single castings are the optimum solution.
- We supply the complete process chain, from pattern development and castings to the final machined part
- For pattern-building we use either single-usage polystyrene, or multiple-usage wood
- A wide selection of casting materials are available, usually ductile iron and steel and many kinds of tool-steel
- During machining we take great care to achieve the necessary tolerances for the final die, which typically are + / - 0,02 mm. Many surfaces are inside the castings and have to be machined with angular heads and special tools.
- Since the precision surfaces and holes for dowel pins are on separate sides, the castings have to be turned precisely and have to be machined from 11 sides, 6 outside and 5 inside
- We offer to our customers the single steps of this process chain, as well as the complete product. Our focus is specially on short delivery times.
- We manufacture these demanding castings permanently, so that several workers have specialized in this field and work with routine.
