The nozzle alignment and lapping with dies, are very important. To achieve correct alignment between the locating hole of fixed platen and the nozzle, a strong, precision made machine base is necessary to support the platen and A-frame. The Profit® Hot Chamber Machine base, features a uniquely designed, all-welded steel frame. After fabrication the frame is then machined, in one piece, on a five-axis CMC machine center. This results in extremely precise tolerances so no shims are necessary and die setup becomes as simple as putting in the locating ring of die in the locating hole of fixed platen. There is no need for nozzle realignment and re-lapping. In addition, due to correct nozzle alignment and lapping you avoid flash from the die seat and undue wear or damage.
 

The piston type fluid accumulator and other manifold-mounted hydraulic components are compactly arranged in a close-coupled assembly to minimize hydraulic piping and maximize operational response. Shorter hydraulic flow paths result in higher shot velocities at minimum pres­sure drop with low impact due to the reduction in "fluid hammer" effect. This also allows greater die surface area loading with minimum flashing.

The free standing melting/holding furnace features a special large capacity "anti-zinc corrosion alloyed stainless steel pot" for economic operation and long life. This rugged furnace features all-welded steel plate construction. The furnace is well insulated for low thermal conductivity, high temperature stability and superior resistance to thermal shock.

Also included with the Profit® Hot Chamber Machines are specially designed leveling mounts. These mounts make machine leveling very easy and eliminate the usual machine installation costs. They also prevent unnecessary machine vibration which, in the long run, reduces maintenance.
