Gravity Die Casting Specialists
We can help our customers in many ways, but always with the aim of providing
economic effective solutions. We can assist in the design and development of the
casting so customers get value for money.
Why swap to a die casting?
Existing fabrications can be redesigned as an aluminium die casting to produce a
lighter, serviceable item with good cost savings. Threaded inserts, pins and
bushes can be incorporated into the casting design to eliminate machining costs.
For example the inclusion of a threaded inserts at the casting stage eliminates
the need for drilling and tapping.


The Design process
3D CAD/ CNC files can be created from fabrication samples, sketches, existing
castings, drawings or existing data. These files are used to create 3D models so
that customers are presented with a visual insight of the design before
production. This data can be later used for prototypes and production tooling.


Development
Machining costs on existing designs which are being sand cast can be cut by
reducing or eliminating machined faces. Improved accuracy of die castings can
reduce machining allowances and in doing so will mean that the final casting
weight is lighter – Hence cheaper.
Prototypes
Prototype patterns are machined traditionally from drawings or CAD data. They
are produced usually in Ureol, or Resin. They are used to manufacture castings
from which the customer can verify the design by fit and function or other
testing before laying down production tooling.


Toolmaking
Patterns and dies are manufactured on site in our own toolroom. Tooling can be
made by traditional methods eg., dies cast to Size in our iron foundry or
machined from blanks. Most of the tooling is CNC machined. Dies can be operated
mechanically or hydraulically depending upon size, complexity etc.
