Tried-and-tested die-casting solution for powertrain parts
As a leading global supplier to the automotive industry, our die-casting solutions help produce powertrain components for 50 % of all new cars worldwide.
Carat is a two-platen machine with die locking forces of 10500 to 92000 kN, designed for die casting your large and complex parts, such as structural components, while increasing productivity by up to 30%.
The intuitive touch screen user interface combined with our DataView control system can cut programming times by up to 25%.
The two-platen design creates a stable production process with improved locking force distribution and reduced flash for better repeatability and higher uptime.
With our unique shot control and a casting process that protects the die, your Carat machine can help to increase overall productivity by up to 30%.
The elimination of the third platen reduces the overall length of the machine by as much as two meters. This allows you to achieve higher die locking forces in the same physical space, from a more rigid machine.
Our unique injection unit provides real-time closed-loop control, automatically reacting to deviations and correcting them immediately. This results in cast parts of high quality, repeatedly, shot after shot. In addition, automated algorithms help you to create optimal casting profiles with shorter cycle times and a higher part quality.
DataView, our innovative user interface, can help your operators to centrally control the complete die-casting system. Comprehensive support in daily operation, control over the entire system, as well as targeted diagnostics and analyses, these features are all available via easy-to-use touch screens and simple graphical interfaces.
The operation is simply more intuitive, which is visible immediately. All the information we need for operation is always available. It’s impressive.
