Die casting machine platens selection guide includes platen type, select guide devices and material, clean and maintenance, etc.

Die casting machine platens selection guide consist Platen Type, Selection of guides devices, Material selection.
When choosing a die casting machine template, there are several key factors to consider:
1. Die casting machine platens selection guide: Platen Type
Depending on the die casting machine design and requirements, platens are usually classified as fixed platens, movable platens, and adjustable platens. Fixed platens are located at the “shot” end of the machine. Movable platens are located between the fixed platens and adjustable platens. And adjustable platens are located at the rear of the machine and are used to adjust the die height.

2. Die casting machine platens selection guide: Selection of guides devices
Guide devices (such as guide pins and bushings) are key components. They ensure precise alignment of the mold halves during opening and closing. Choosing the right type of guide device (e.g., sleeve guides, pin guides) depends on the type of mold base and the required accuracy.

3. Die casting machine platens selection guide: Material selection
The template material needs to have sufficient strength and durability while being able to withstand the high temperatures and pressures of the die casting process. Commonly used materials include high-strength steel and other heat-resistant materials.

4. Cleaning and maintenance
The template surface must be kept clean. Especially the mounting surface of the mold needs to be cleaned after each setup. To ensure that the mold parting line is parallel to the machine template. Thus to ensure the efficiency of heat transfer from the mold to the die casting machine.
5. Selection of mold steel
The choice of mold steel directly affects the durability and corrosion resistance of the mold. The appropriate mold steel should be selected according to the specific application requirements. Such as considering its dimensional stability, corrosion resistance, casting convenience and cost.
6. Other accessories
In addition to the template, you also need to choose suitable accessories. Such as hydraulic core pulling mechanism, suitable mold holder, vacuum die casting system, etc.
Taking all the above factors into consideration, choosing a suitable die-casting machine template requires a comprehensive evaluation based on specific production needs, equipment performance, and mold design requirements.
