Perfectly demonstrating the benefits of giant Toggle Free HPDC machines for large parts, BMW re-designed a 16-piece crash relevant battery housing and cast it as a single, lightweight aluminium part.
As well as being more economical to produce, the part’s performance is everything you would expect from BMW - all of which helped it to awards success at the EUROGUSS 2022 European Die Casting Competition.
Chairman of Jiangzhong
“The future of our company depends on advanced, smart and digitally-enabled equipment. The TF5700 will help us with larger parts for our traditional escalator market and will also open up new markets for us in producing large structural parts for automotive or even high speed railway. This is a big opportunity. We are seeing a 25% increase in our annual output, so we expect the new machine to help us maintain or exceed our current growth rate.”
The impact of e-mobility across automotive coupled with shifting trends in both industrial and communications technology mean one thing. Demand for large, lightweight, structural aluminium parts is increasing. What’s more, demand is now often for such parts ‘at volume’.
To leverage the opportunity ahead, die casters need something different. A way to cost-effectively fulfil demand for bigger structural components, in larger quantities. Efficiently and reliably.
We’ve ensured that configuration options for our TF range of Toggle Free HPDC machines deliver the casting benefits you need to capitalise on the ‘large structural part’ casting evolution currently taking place.
