Foundry Workshop UK Next 24th June Italpresse will be a guest speaker at the FOUNDRY WORKSHOP UK, held at Hilton Hotel, Bromsgrove in Birmingham.
Alessandro Benini will give a technical lecture about the Toggle free TF diecasting machine: a new hydraulic system which impacts on the production speed and the quality of casting.
The event is supported by ICME, the Insititue of Cast Metal Enginners, by the Diecasting Society and by FESA, the Foundry Equipment and Suppliers Association.
The toggle free design concept was developed by Italpresse in 2005. It's now operating on almost 50 machines around the world and it is appreciated by many end-users, above all because of the prodcution flexibility. The TF machine shows a better adaptation capacity to the die deformations. The consequence of developing the clamping force directly on the tie bars, by using four independent block cylinders, is represented by a more uniform stress distribution: this means a longer durability of mechanical components, because of their correct functioning in accordance with the design specifications.
The great diminution of parts subject to relative friction (e.g. rods, pins and bushes) translates into less wear and less lubrication need, as well as less maintenance.
The smaller overall dimensions, together with a larger machine opening, are a synonymous of space-saving and access facilitation.
