Explore Equipment by Process
Browse five equipment groups, then review how the equipment and process relate to your part.
01 / Equipment & workshops
Die Casting Equipment
Die casting machines and production cells for the casting stage. Match the machine, die and alloy before confirming the production route.
Die Casting Machine Inventory
180–2,500 metric ton-force (tf); 11 machines
Machine selection depends on the alloy, projected area, die dimensions and shot requirement. Confirm the chamber type and alloy configuration for each project.
| Clamping force | Machines |
|---|---|
| 180T | 2 |
| 300T | 2 |
| 400T | 1 |
| 650T | 1 |
| 800T | 2 |
| 1,000T | 2 |
| 2,500T | 1 |
| Total machines | 11 |
Clamping force is a force rating. Part weight, shot weight and the usable part envelope must be reviewed separately.

From equipment to part feasibility
Match the Equipment to Your Project
Photos show equipment and workshop arrangements. Machine availability, configuration, working range and inspection capability are confirmed for the proposed production route.
- Geometry & material
- Share the drawing, alloy, part envelope and critical features so the machine, tooling and workholding can be reviewed together.
- Process & capacity
- Identify machining, finishing and assembly operations, batch/annual demand and target delivery. Confirm the equipment allocation during quotation.
- Inspection & documentation
- Specify measurement requirements, sampling, reports and any equipment documentation needed for supplier approval.
Equipment selection & documentation reference
Match equipment to the part
Equipment selection considers the work envelope, machine configuration, tooling, workholding, material and required operations. For die casting, the review also considers shot capacity, projected area and die compatibility. For CNC machining, tool access, travel and setup strategy are key factors.
Plan inspection alongside production
The measurement method must suit the specified features, tolerances, surface condition and inspection access. Identify critical characteristics, sampling and reporting needs in the RFQ.
Request project-specific equipment information
Send the drawing, material specification and quantities to discuss the proposed equipment and production route. Where equipment documentation is required for supplier approval, identify the information needed during quotation.
Which equipment details are relevant to my project?
Machine configuration, working envelope, tooling compatibility, workholding and measurement capability should be evaluated against your part. A model name or axis count alone is insufficient.
How is inspection equipment selected?
Selection depends on the drawing, feature geometry, tolerance, accessibility, surface condition and required measurement records.
Can I request equipment information for supplier review?
Include the requested machine, configuration, capacity or measurement information with your RFQ so its scope and availability can be confirmed.
