Shibaura Machine Makes it Simple to Match the Die to the Machine

ELK GROVE VILLAGE, IL, September 7, 2021 - 

Being successful in die casting is a combination of efficiency and productivity. Being able to be a step ahead of where your competition is at and exceed customer expectations requires it. One way to gain an advantage in today’s competitive market is to produce the best fit for the casting as cost effective and quickly as possible.

Having a machine with an adjustable shot end can easily match to the die shot position resulting in a more productive process. In many machine designs the shot position is located at one fixed position, leaving all the necessary shot positions off limits. Removing the limitation of a fixed position shot end enables a die caster to bid on more opportunities.

Introducing Type R Series

Shibaura Machine’s Type R die casting series was engineered with high precision and ultimate flexibility in mind. Allowing die casters to adjust the machine's shot position to match the die, this series has multi-position and is able to reach several factory set positions or any position in between by custom construction of a few simple parts. In addition, this height-adjustable shot unit comes standard with the TOSCAST-888 control system for easy operation and high productivity.

The ability to adjust the shot height gives the foundry a strong advantage to its competitors. With its simplicity and automation, the hydraulic components are integrated into the machine requiring only a few manual steps to change the injection position. Die casters will not only be able to complete in a wider variety of jobs, but do so in less time all while achieving a stable production.
