What are the parts of a die casting machine?

As an important industrial equipment, the die-casting machine is the key to the realization of the die-casting process. 

It consists of the following key components:

1. Clamping mechanism 

The clamping mechanism is one of the important components of the die-casting machine. It is responsible for realizing the 

opening and closing of the mold, ensuring that the mold is tightly closed during the die-casting process to prevent the 

leakage of molten metal. The clamping mechanism usually includes components such as templates, tie rods, and clamping 

cylinders. The template is used to install the mold, the tie rod provides support and guidance, and the clamping cylinder 

generates sufficient clamping force.

2. Shot mechanism 

The shot mechanism is the core part of injecting liquid metal into the mold cavity at high speed. It includes a shot 

cylinder, a shot rod, an accumulator, etc. The shot cylinder pushes the shot rod to quickly inject the molten metal into 

the cavity under high pressure. The accumulator can store energy and release it instantly when needed to increase the 

speed and pressure of the shot.

3. Hydraulic system 

The hydraulic system provides power for each action of the die-casting machine. It consists of a hydraulic pump, a 

hydraulic cylinder, a hydraulic valve, etc. By precisely controlling the flow and pressure of the hydraulic oil, the 

smooth operation of actions such as clamping, shot, and ejection can be achieved.

4. Control system 

The control system is like the brain of the die-casting machine, which accurately controls and regulates the entire die-

casting process. It includes electrical control cabinets, PLC controllers, various sensors, etc. The control system can 

set and adjust various process parameters, such as injection speed, pressure, temperature, etc., to ensure the quality 

and consistency of die-casting products.

5. Furnace 

The furnace is used to melt metal materials and provide liquid metal for die-casting. It usually has heating elements, 

temperature control devices, etc. to ensure the temperature and quality of the molten metal are stable.

6. Mold

The mold is a key component that determines the shape and size of the die-casting product. It consists of a cavity, a 

core, a pouring system, etc. The design and manufacturing quality of the mold directly affects the quality and production 

efficiency of the die-casting product.

7. Ejector mechanism 

After die-casting is completed, the ejector mechanism is used to eject the formed casting from the mold. It usually 

includes ejector rods, ejector cylinders, etc.

8. Cooling system 

The cooling system is used to cool the key components of the die-casting machine to prevent overheating damage. It 

includes water cooling pipes, radiators, etc.

9. Lubrication system 

The lubrication system lubricates the moving parts of the die-casting machine, reduces friction and wear, and extends the 

service life of the equipment.

These components work together to complete the die-casting process. Each component has an irreplaceable role, and their 

performance and quality directly affect the working efficiency of the die-casting machine and the quality of the die-

casting products.

With the continuous development of technology, the components of the die-casting machine are also constantly innovating 

and improving. New materials, more advanced control technologies, etc. are gradually being applied to die-casting 

machines, so that their performance is continuously improved, and they can meet the increasingly complex and diverse 

production needs.

In short, understanding the composition of the components of the die-casting machine is of great significance for the 

correct operation, maintenance, and improvement of the die-casting machine. By continuously optimizing the performance of 

these components, the die-casting industry will be promoted to a higher level.
