The main choice of Medal making machine for manufacturing medallions is metal die-casting machines.
The hot chamber zinc alloy die casting machine is particularly suitable for this purpose.
There are also several different Medal making machines for specific production needs and materials
Equipment needed to produce zinc alloy medals
Below are a few common methods of medallion manufacturing and the types of machines they are used for:
- Die Casting Machine
- Stamping Machine
- Laser Cutting Machine
- Hand engraving
Die Casting Machine
Suitable for the production of metal medals, such as zinc alloy, copper alloy, etc..
Die casting machines form medals by injecting molten metal into a mould.
It is suitable for mass production, and can achieve high quality and clear details of the medallion.
Stamping Machine
Suitable for making metal blanks.
The design is then pressed into the metal surface by the stamping technique to form a medallion with a relief effect.
This method is suitable for medals that require a high relief effect.
Laser Cutting Machine
Suitable for the production of medals made of non-metallic materials such as plastic, resin or wood.
Laser cutting technology allows for high precision and complex designs.
Hand Engraving
Suitable for a small number of customised or more artistic medals.
It can provide a higher level of detail accuracy and personalised design.
If mass production of high quality metal medals is required, die-casting Medal making machine are recommended.
Because it has the advantages of high efficiency, low cost and consistent quality.
Features of medals making die-casting machines
Features of die casting machines for metal prize production include:
- High production efficiency
- High precision and surface quality
- High material utilisation
- Can manufacture complex shapes
- High strength and hardness
- High degree of automation
- High mould cost
- Wide range of applicable alloys
High production efficiency
Die casting process is easy to achieve mechanisation and automation.
Hot chamber die casting machine can produce 3000 to 7000 pieces.
High precision and surface quality
Die casting parts have high dimensional accuracy and low surface roughness.
Usually can reach Ra0.8 to 3.2, even Ra1.6, reducing the need for subsequent machining.
High material utilisation rate
Die casting process material utilisation rate as high as 60% to 90%, reducing material waste.
Can manufacture complex shapes
Die casting technology can produce complex shapes, clear contours, thin-walled deep cavity products, suitable for manufacturing medals and other works of art.
High strength and hardness
Due to the rapid cooling and solidification of the metal liquid under high pressure, die casting has high strength and hardness, but the elongation is low.
High degree of automation
Die casting process is easy to automate production, improve production efficiency and consistency.
High mould cost
Die casting mould structure is complex, perfect precision, suitable for mass production.
Wide range of applicable alloys
Applicable to zinc alloy, aluminium alloy, magnesium alloy and other kinds of non-ferrous metal and its alloy.
Haichen’s hot chamber die casting machine is a mature metal medallion production machine.
Selection of models of die-casting machines make medals
Several aspects need to be considered to select the model of die casting Medal making machine for metal medallion production, such as processing material, output and economy.
The following key factors:
- Processing material
- Casting Medal size and weight
- Production requirements
- Equipment performance
- Economy
Processing materials
According to the type of die casting alloy to choose the right type of die casting machine.
Cold chamber die-casting machine is suitable for aluminium alloy, magnesium alloy and other non-ferrous alloy medals production.
And hot chamber die casting machine is suitable for zinc alloy and small magnesium alloy medallion production.
Casting Medal size and weight
According to the outline size, average wall thickness and weight of the medallion to calculate the clamping force, compression injection force and mould thickness and other parameters.
To determine the die-casting machine model.
Production requirements
Define the size of the medallion product, surface treatment requirements and production efficiency needs.
Select die-casting machine models that can meet these needs.
Medal making machine Equipment performance
Consider the durability of the die-casting machine, precision, degree of automation and whether to comply with safety standards.
Economy
Balance the fixed and variable costs, choose the cost-effective equipment.
Recommended to choose suitable for the processed material and casting characteristics of the medal production die casting machine.
And according to the specific medal production needs and budget for model selection.
