The Ecoline DS die-casting machine offers locking forces from 3400 to 9000 kN for producing aluminum and magnesium parts. Its powerful injection unit, well-established toggle technology and our digital services boost the profitability of your cell.
Our Bühler Insights Die Casting Dashboard provides a customized overview of the performance of each machine, cell and foundry. Systematically determine the causes of interruptions to your die-casting system with the Downtime Analysis tool, helping you to improve uptime.
Real-time shot control offers the repeatability you need. The single-circuit system with piston accumulator and integrated intensifier allows a very fast switch-over from second to third phase. Multi-point setting, including braking function, increases the die lifetime and reduces flash for higher overall productivity.
Die filling at high speed and extreme pressure is a foundational requirement for today’s complex die-casting processes. State-of-the-art proportional technology controls the powerful 210-bar injection unit during the filling phase to overcome process variations and attain consistent results.
The reliable 3-platen toggle system offers extraordinary production stability, proven in over 3000 applications worldwide. The long-lasting design allows for maximum machine availability with reduced maintenance. The powerful double-cylinder hydraulic ejector ensures parallel ejection of parts.
No two processes are the same in die casting. We cater for this with a wide range of machine options, allowing you to configure your system according to your specific needs. From built-in core pull hydraulics, squeeze pins to vacuum systems, choosing the right setup ensures best-in-class part quality.
The integrated touch-screen control station connects your operator to the casting process through intuitive screen pages with helpful functions along the entire production process. Settings are stored within the die program, making production changes faster, delivering repeatable quality of your parts and allowing a more accurate production scheduling.
The die-casting machine, sprayer, ladler and extractor are centrally operated and monitored. All peripheral movements are in perfect sequence with the die-casting machine, which means optimized cycle times and increased uptime of your entire die-casting system.
Compared to the previous machine, which produced the same part, we have reduced the internal scrap by around 50 %. The Bühler machine is one of the most reliable in the entire plant.
