Multi-Slide die casting

Our advanced die casting technology delivers net-shape components at 6x the speed of traditional methods, enabling design freedom through high-precision production.

The difference between Multi-Slide and conventional die casting lies in the construction of the tooling. Conventional die casting offers a simpler, two-part mould, making it more suitable for high-volume production of less intricate parts. Multi-Slide uses a more complex tooling system with up to six slides, ideal for creating highly detailed and precise components.

The Multi-Slide tool comprises the die block, sliders, crosshead and cover plate. Each die block has either a cavity and/or cores on its face, which together form the complete cavity and runner profile into which the molten metal is injected.

Our tool designers predict and incorporate replaceable parts in areas prone to wear to extend the lifespan of our die casting tools, enabling cost-effective replacements without replacing the entire tool.

Multi-Slide die casting provides greater flexibility with multiple directions of pull, enabling more complex parts to be manufactured with fewer secondary operations.

Since developing Multi-Slide die casting 80+ years ago, we have continued to improve our process, creating even more complex parts for our customers.
