The Italian leader in fully automated die casting equipment is currently manufacturing the first fully digitally enabled, toggle-free two-platen die casting machine with 5700t closing force for a German car manufacturer. Marco Giegold from ItalPresseGauss is telling us more about the machine and what’s driving the demand for ever larger die casting equipment.
Die Casting Auto Parts with our 5700t Machine in Germany
Marco, why this monster machine?
The TF 5700 is a toggle-free machine that we’ve never before built in this size. Its platens are a huge 3500 x 3500mm. This large size has become necessary because our customers are making ever bigger components and structural parts. This is partly due to the ongoing lightweighting trend, but also the rise of e-mobility – where battery housings are a key example. Customers who are establishing new manufacturing facilities for electric vehicles are particularly interested in this machine. We’re getting enquiries from around the world.
