In modern manufacturing industry, die casting technology is widely used in various fields for its high efficiency and precision. However, in the face of a wide range of die casting machine equipment on the market, how to choose a die casting machine that suits the needs of their own enterprises has become a problem for many manufacturers. Let’s discuss how to buy a die casting machine, so that you can find the most suitable equipment for your own.
1、 Clarify production needs
Before choosing a die casting machine, the first thing to be clear is the production needs of the enterprise. This includes the number and specifications of products that need to be produced each day. The higher the production demand, the larger and more expensive the die casting machine equipment is usually required. Therefore, when choosing a die casting machine, we must fully consider our own production scale and future development expectations.
2、 Understand the classification and characteristics of die casting machine
Die casting machines are usually divided into hot chamber die casting machines and cold chamber die casting machines according to the working state of their chambers. The press chamber of the hot chamber die-casting machine is immersed in the liquid metal in the thermal insulation crucible, which is simple in structure, convenient in operation and easy to realize automatic production. The press chamber of the cold chamber die casting machine is separate from the heat preservation furnace, and the metal liquid is injected into the press chamber through the mechanical or hydraulic device, which is suitable for the production of a variety of alloys. According to the characteristics of the product and the requirements of the production process, it is very important to choose the right type of die casting machine.
3、 Consider brand and quality
Brand and quality are important rules for choosing a die casting machine. Choose a well-known and authoritative brand, product quality, function and service life will be guaranteed. At the same time, when choosing a brand, it also depends on whether the equipment produced by the manufacturer meets the processing standards and product requirements to achieve quality assurance.
4、Focus on technology and performance
When buying a die casting machine, you need to pay attention to technical and performance factors. If the technology and performance of the existing die-casting machine is poor, resulting in poor product quality or low production efficiency, it is necessary to buy high-tech, high-performance equipment to improve output and product quality. For example, the clamping force is the first parameter to be determined when choosing a die casting machine, and its role is mainly to overcome the expansion force in the mold cavity to lock the parting surface of the mold, prevent metal liquid splashing, and ensure the dimensional accuracy of the casting. In addition, the injection volume is also one of the parameters often used in the selection of die casting machine, which is an important basis for determining the tonnage of the die casting machine.
5、Evaluate the cost performance
Choosing a cost-effective die casting machine can be analyzed from many aspects such as the processing quality, operating cost and work efficiency of the equipment, weighing its advantages and disadvantages, and choosing the optimal configuration of the equipment. This can not only save costs, but also improve work efficiency.
6、 Consider after-sales service
High-quality after-sales service is an important factor to ensure the long-term stable operation of die casting machines. When choosing a die casting machine, you should understand the manufacturer’s after-sales service policy, service network coverage and response speed. Ensure that problems encountered in the process of use can be resolved in time.
7、 Field investigation and test
If conditions exist, it is recommended that enterprises conduct field visits and test machines before purchasing die-casting machines. By visiting the production workshop of the manufacturer, understanding the production process of the product and personally operating and experiencing the performance of the equipment, you can feel the quality and performance of the product more intuitively. At the same time, we can also conduct in-depth exchanges with the technical team of the manufacturer to meet the individual needs.
8、In short
The selection of the right die-casting machine has an important impact on the production efficiency and product quality of the enterprise. In the purchase process should consider the production demand, equipment type, brand quality, technical performance and cost performance and other factors to make a wise choice. At the same time, we should also pay attention to the selection of manufacturers with good after-sales service protection to ensure the long-term stable operation of the equipment.
