Why Die Casting is taking over body in white production at OEMs

As the leader for large die-casting solutions with 50% of the installed market, Bühler makes the ideal global partner, delivering a complete cell and supporting OEMs throughout its lifetime.

1. Design and engineering of complete cells. Bühler can help OEMs specify and implement a complete turn-key custom solution. This includes optimizing processes, workflow, digital integration and peripheral equipment, from the melting furnace through the entire process chain, up to the finished part, ready for assembling. Space planning, commissioning, training, maintenance, servicing and support are all available – with professional project management to deliver against realistic timescales and budgets.
2. Local presence. With manufacturing hubs and application facilities in Europe, Asia and US, more than 100 local service stations, training and consulting, Bühler is ideally placed to support its customers around the world.
3. Bühler’s unique Carat two-platen technology. With up to 84,000kN locking force delivered with a stiff platen design, Carat solutions provide higher dimensional accuracy than traditional toggle systems. Its unique SC real-time injection unit also delivers more consistent cast quality, with higher availability and a lower cost-per-part.
