Robot-automated pressure die-casting cells and the use of robots in permanent mold casting, sand casting and in core manufacturing are established technologies. But, constant development of such applications is needed in order to optimize reliability, quality and cycle times and ABB is on the forefront of this work. ABB has long been working in the field of robot automation for foundries and has introduced 2008-06-17 20:17:29 http://china-diecast.com/news/Process-Strengthens-Die-Cast-Parts.html Car components with doubled mechanical strength, higher fatigue resistance, and improved energy absorption are produced by a heat- treatment process for high-pressure die casting (HPDC) of aluminum, developed at the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO; clayton, Victoria, Australia). CSIRO is Australia's national science agency, and one of the largest research agencies in the world.
