Channel and T-shape

View

This two-piece holder was developed for a precision scientific instrument. Both castings have detailed features requiring tolerances of +/-0.00025 in. Extrusion could not be used because it could not hold the tolerances, while CNC and wire EDM were not cost effective....

Floor Support Pillars

View

Zinc die cast pillars support two different heights of floor system. The first is a low height (60 – 100mm) system for cables only, and the second is higher (300 – 400mm), used for air ducts under the floor. Zinc die castings are designed for maximum strength....
