The nozzle
alignment and lapping with dies, are very important. To achieve correct
alignment between the locating hole of fixed pl aten
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.
