This is an explanation of the terms used to classify
Cold Chamber die casting machines. All cold chamber die casting machines fall
into one of these three categories.
FULLY AUTO:
This term means that the die casting machine can perform the whole casting
process (mentioned below) "automatically" without operator intervention or help in the form of
manual labor. As such, in order for the machine to be called "fully automatic"
the machine must include all three (3) automatic devices; an automatic
mechanical ladler, an automatic mechanical sprayer and an automatic mechanical
extractor.
SEMI AUTO:
This term means that the die casting machine can perform only one, or at the
most two, of the die casting processes (mentioned below) without manual labor by the operator.
The rest of the process requires manual labour by the operator. In order for the
machine to be called "semi automatic" it must include at lease one (1) or at the
most two (2) automatic devices; an automatic mechanical ladler, an automatic
mechanical sprayer or an automatic mechanical extractor.
MANUAL:
This term means that the die casting machine cannot perform any of the die
casting processes (mentioned below) automatically. All three processes, ladling, spraying and
extraction must be done by the operator.
