How small can the Die Casting Press be?
Welcome to our 24th Gold Nugget, “The Race to the highest Clamping Force”, where we interview Pete Sell from ItalPresseGauss about the Giant Castings. IPG just released their toggle-free 11.000-ton press, so the question is: Where is the economic limit of Gigacastings?
Peter describes it best when he says: “Don’t think of your castings as parts! Think of them as money. And how many 100-dollar bills do you want to make wrong?”
Based on that quote, we explore what you need to run a profitable foundry, independent of machine size. We also discuss the additional complexity of scaling a matchbox toy into a real car.
