A die casting machine is a casting machine that uses high pressure to press metal or non-metallic materials into molds. There are many types of die casting machines depending on their structure, function and application areas. Common ones include cold chamber pressure casting machines and hot chamber pressure casting machines. These two machines are mainly classified according to the different melting points of the cast metals. In addition, there are gravity casting machines, which work by filling the mold cavity with molten metal under the influence of gravity.
In addition to the above classifications, die casting machines can also be divided into horizontal casting machines and vertical casting machines according to the direction of the workbench. The worktable of the horizontal casting machine is placed horizontally or approximately horizontally, and the casting pressure is basically perpendicular to the horizontal plane. It is suitable for producing large flat parts and small and medium-sized workpieces. The vertical casting machine's worktable or working needle is perpendicular to the direction of casting pressure, which is more suitable for producing workpieces with more complex shapes.
In addition, from the perspective of injection method, die-casting machines can be divided into ordinary die-casting machines and fully hydraulic die-casting machines. According to the different injection chambers, it can be divided into cold pressure chamber die casting machines and hot pressure chamber die casting machines. In terms of mold clamping methods, die-casting machines can be divided into vertical die-casting machines, inclined die-casting machines and horizontal die-casting machines.
Therefore, there are many types of die-casting machines, and the specific type of die-casting machine chosen depends on the materials being cast, the required shape and size of the castings, as well as factors such as production scale and process requirements.
