Our 3 casting processes
Aluminium gravity
die-casting
We can design your aluminium parts to order, with our qualified team, an experienced design and engineering department and suitable plant and equipment. Gravity die-casting consists in filling a metal mould with molten degassed aluminium alloy, processed according to strict procedures. Parts requiring stronger mechanical properties undergo heat treatment. Parts intended for small or medium production runs, weighing from tens of grams to nearly 10 kilos, can therefore be made.
What is
injected Zamac?
Zamac is an alloy of zinc, magnesium, aluminium and copper. Particularly suited to die-casting, it is used to make thin parts with a complex configuration. Inexpensive, injected Zamac is used to produce parts weighing from a few grams to nearly 3 kilos on average, or in large production runs. In addition to their suitability for die-casting, zinc alloys are recyclable indefinitely. Our pool of machines includes 10 automated presses with a clamping force of 20 to 125 tonnes.
Aluminium die-casting
More about aluminium die-casting!
The aluminium die-casting technique consists in injecting aluminium into a metal mould at very high speed then applying high pressure on the metal as it solidifies. With this process, thin and precise parts weighing from 100 grammes to roughly 5 kilos can be made and reproduced. We have automated presses with a clamping force of 400 to 550 tonnes for medium or large production runs.
Machining and finishing
quality finishes
We have had a machining shop comprising numerically controlled centre bores and lathes for over 15 years, to offer a complete quality solution to our customers in search of a comprehensive solution. Since our latest acquisition in May 2020, we now have 12 centre bores and 4 lathes.
