Die-Cast Technology Facility
Four generations of family leadership have kept Delaware Machinery
at the pinnacle of world-class design and tooling manufacture. Our
ongoing investments in the future now provide customers a Die
Casting Technology Center with capabilities that are second to none.
Delaware Machinery is the only die cast tooling supplier in the
world with four differently sized on-site die casting machines for
providing customers with a turnkey die casting solution. Our
facility is representative of the size and type of die cast machines
being utilized throughout the industry today. We are committed to
providing our customer with the ability to duplicate and improve
their processes before the tool is delivered.
THE 3500-TON PRINCE MACHINE is a re-configurable flexible
manufacturing cell, including three individual robots for spray,
insert/cylinder liner loading, and part extract. This fully
automated cell also has access to two trim presses, quench cooling,
hot oil, vacuum, and basic part verification with the latest process
control maintaining coordination.
OUR 2000-TON and 1600-TON PRINCE
MACHINES are configured in a
manufacturing cell with robotic spray and robotic part extract. Each
of these die casting cells also have the capability for integrating
robotic trim and casting cooling.
THE 800-TON PRINCE MACHINE is manually operated during process
development and sampling, but the control is configured for cell
integration and a reciprocating sprayer is used for die spray.
Complementing the die cast process is our ability to evaluate the
castings by both destructive and non-destructive means. We can offer
additional services from our multi-pallet high speed machining
centers to machine castings from a cube state thru finish machined
parts. Casting dimensional integrity for PPAP validation is
performed our multiple Coordinate Measuring Machines. Internal
casting structure is achieved in real time via the resident X-Ray
equipment, with access to CT-Scan equipment. This full service
assures our customers a quality product entering their plant from
the onset.
Production of early prototype parts for reliability testing and
transfer line verification plus rapid prototyping and limited
production runs are commonplace to our facility. Part sizes from
small multi-cavity components to large V-Engine blocks, with up to
three different alloys simultaneously sets us apart from any
facility in the world.
