New large die-casting machines now make it possible for a whole body in white section to be created as a single piece, allowing automotive OEMs to simplify production, reduce costs and create a more sustainable vehicle.
Bühler Die Casting | July 2021
Automotive OEMs currently spend billions of dollars shipping-in structural parts and assembling numerous stamped sheet metal and aluminum components to create a rear underbody or battery casing for electric vehicles (EVs). Now, new large die-casting machines can cast the whole concept as one piece, offering a compelling alternative.
As the leader for large die-casting solutions with 50% of the installed market, Bühler makes the ideal global partner, delivering a complete cell and supporting OEMs throughout its lifetime.
The Carat two-platen solution with minimum deflection and a high degree of dimensional accuracy has long-proven its value for the production of large and complex structural components. The unique Bühler shot control system, for real-time closed-loop control, allows for consistent high quality part production.
All the machines in the expanded Carat portfolio are delivered with the DataView control unit – which makes the control of the die-casting machine easier and more intuitive via its multitouch screen. Additionally, every machine is equipped our new energy frame concept with a clear and distinctive arrangement of energy couplings. The Carat series also offers the option of servo drive technology.
