Types of Machines for Die Casting

http://www.diecastdiscountwarehouse.com.au/die-cast-models/ Regardless Of The Type Of Machine Used It Is Essential That Die Halves, Cores And Moveable Sections Be Securely Locked In Place During The Casting Cycle. Generally, The Clamping Force Of The Machine Is Governed By: (a) The Projected Surface Area Of The Casting And (b) The Pressure Used To Inject Metal Into The Die. Most Machines Use Toggle Type Mechanisms Actuated By Hydraulic Cylinders (Sometimes Air Pressure) To Achieve Locking.
