Modern printers require a pin support which must be cast pore free, non-deformable, and of precise dimensions. Because of the large numbers of units produced, the life of the die is a determining factor. From the client’s point of view, the sound dampening qualities...
This part was cast with Zincopor(R) technology, which resulted in a weight reduction of 25%. With an annual production rate of 235,000 part/year, this represents a 10-ton reduction of zinc alloy.
Micro-informatics are already an integral part of business and professional life. The will soon be present everywhere, including the home. What role do zinc alloys play? This back cover for a microcomputer illustrates how zinc die castings can simplify design and...
Key material requirements for the office bundling machine are hardness and strength, the ability to hold good tolerances, and lubricity. ZA-27 was selected as the die casting material because of its hardness, strength, dimensional stability, and natural lubricity. By...
Das Gussteil ist ein Getriebegehäuse einer Höhenverstellung für Office-Lösungen (Bürotisch). Das Gehäuse dient zur Aufnahme der Getriebekomponenten und ist gleichzeitig Schnittstelle zu Motor und Einbauumgebung. Die Zinkdruckgussvariante löst eine Kunststoffversion...
The part is machined on guiding bores and reference faces. It substitutes for the pressed steel plate for several reasons: its high precision realized on machined diameters Ø < 0.02 mm and for the cost efficiency.
Zinc alloy pressure die casting has been chosen by the IER company for the four parts that make up the structure of this ticket printer. The specification set by IER required materials and technology that would enable the production of: complex shapes, so that the...
Océ Graphics – one of the world’s leading manufacturers of tracing machines – uses zinc alloy die castings in each of the seven machines in its range. Zinc alloy castings form part of the structure of the machines, through the two side plates and two grips in the...
The platen housing design incorporates three previous parts. In order to function properly, the material must be rigid and strong. The housing is cast with four elongated slots, four deep slots, and seven cored holes, maximizing the need for structural support. In...
