Equipped with a broad selection
of finishing machines, Aluminium
Die Casting is able to offer a wide
range of finishing operations,
offering a comprehensive die
cast-to-finish service.
Finally, the ability of die caster to apply
seals or gaskets to metal parts may be
particularly important for outdoor uses or
in other wet and/or dusty environments.
In these cases, ensuring reliable ingress
protection (IP) ratings are crucial to establish
reliable operations.
While some businesses specialise in only
a few specific methods, others are able
to provide a more comprehensive service
portfolio. The versatility of the latter group
is highly advantageous to manufacturers,
as they can discuss with post-cast experts
specialised in different methods which
ones are the most suitable to obtain the
desired optical, physico-chemical and
tribological features. The manufacturers can
then choose between different available
options or combine two or more treatments,
when required, without the need to handle
different post-cast subcontractors.
The capabilities of Aluminium Die Casting,
a brand of Altra Industrial Motion Corp., go
well beyond die casting. The company is a
full-service, die cast-to-finish supplier able
to offer high-precision post-castings by
means of its highly accurate and advanced
machines. More precisely, Aluminium Die
Casting can perform finishing operations,
such as sanding and tumbling, thermal
and surface treatments, liquid or powder
painting as well as apply IP rated seals and
gaskets that meet the needs of various
industries, including food and beverage,
healthcare, and automotive sectors.
Aluminium Die Casting can support its
customers with 19 different CNC machines,
including both horizontal and vertical
milling equipment, in conjunction with 10
high-pressure die casting units. Further, it
supports its customers with the extensive
expertise of its engineers, who are happy
to discuss the production requirements and
suggest the most suitable manufacturing
and finishing methods. Thanks to their
advanced knowledge, Aluminium Die
Casting teams can address even the most
challenging applications.
CUTTING-EDGE POST-CAST
TECHNOLOGIES FOR HIGHER
QUALITY
Customers that want to bring the quality
of their aluminium parts to the next level
should opt for automated post-cast
solutions. This is one of the main reasons
why Aluminium Die Casting implemented
a number of robots on its factory floor. In
particular, some of the 19 CNC machining
systems feature robotic arms, responsible
for loading components. Robots are also
a key component of the company’s die
casting units, which runs in fully automated
and independent modes.
As the need for
subcontractors is
drastically reduced,
logistics and
management costs are
also slashed.
Besides delivering a high-quality result,
automated processes further streamline
the production processes by ensuring
reduced lead times and prompt supply. As
a result, customers’ manufacturing lines are
not held back by die casting and post-cast
processes.
By offering a single point of contact for
complete die casting projects, backed
by extensive expertise and advanced
capabilities in die casting and finishing,
Aluminium Die Casting offers the ideal
solution for manufacturers. These can avoid
dealing with multiple suppliers and benefit
from quick lead times without compromising
on service and quality.
