About patent technology "REC aluminum casting"

I introduce "the REC aluminum casting" that is a patent technology of "the KIMURA group". Generally, when I wanted high strength, the production technique of the die forged it, and it was common sense that did a die-casting when I made much of productivity and low cost and made a die. With "the REC aluminum casting ," KIMURA group of Kure-shi, Hiroshima acquires a patent in an epoch-making technique to draw precision, quality of forging and both merits of the low cost of the die-casting.

By an animation introduction "REC aluminum casting"

The manufacturing method with a few blowholes overturning the common sense of the conventional aluminum die-casting

Epoch-making casting to mold pressurization by a piston after locating a piston in the center as a die long, and a laminar flow filling a casting type with only the model total movement with the die of division into three to have an upper model, the middle, the lower part, and closing a model more, and having done it "REC aluminum casting." I in this way secure the quality that there is little outbreak of the blowhole while being casting, and does not have forging and inferiority.

Positioning of the REC aluminum casting

I realize the low cost that is almost a die-casting while being quality equal to casting

REC casting movement introduction

Find the laminar flow filling that is near to descent from nature as a model long by casting press; the merit that is greatest a casting product of a high quality, the high strength that it is rare of the blowhole being provided in the main pressurization from the upper direction and the multistage thing pressurizing from the bottom after a model total. I use the pressurization constitution such as the chart below by highly precise servo motor + oil pressure hybrid pressurization, and there is the characteristic of this process to a cavity high speed at any important point speed and point giving a timing.

Four quality good points of the REC casting product

The REC casting has very fewer blowholes than a die-casting

The materials which are available by REC casting
  • Pure aluminum (A1070 equivalent)
  • Aluminum for die-casting (ADC12・ADC5・ADC6 other)
  • Die-casting use special materials
  • Aluminum for forging (AC4C・AC4CH・AC2B other)
  • Ceramic combination aluminum (There are the examination results to 40%)

Good point of the REC casting device

Good point of the REC casting device

Two 500t planes are operating in Kimura industry Co., Ltd., Higashihiroshima factory.

Servo oil pressure hybrid

Highly precise positioning and high output pressurization by the oil pressure are realized the high speed with the servo motor.

High cycle

Because I can perform release agent application and note hot water to a top and bottom die after casting product takeoff at the same time because the side moves an upper die, rapid improvement (high cycle) of the production efficiency realizes it.

Systematization

I can batch-process each movement by careful condition setting, and the accumulation of data is possible.

Environmental consideration

The design that usually considered a small it being possible, electric power saving-shaped servo motor, environment including the oil pressure hybrid adoption by molten metal temperature being an energy saving type than a die-casting low, overflow is a characteristic.

I sell REC casting equipment

In the KIMURA group, the outdoor sale of the REC casting equipment reaches, too. As for the inquiry, please from this an order.
