Revision and Reconditioning of Die Casting Machines
FISS supports foundries and die casting companies with the revision, partial overhaul and general overhaul of cold chamber and hot chamber die casting machines. From functional control and closing unit overhaul to modernization and recommissioning, you receive a technically sound solution from one source.
Reconditioning for machines from
- Frech, Bühler, Idra and Italpresse
- Colosio, Weingarten and Agrati
- Cold chamber and hot chamber technology
- Individual machines and complete casting cells
- Closing unit, hydraulics, electrics and control system
Restore performance
An economical alternative to purchasing new equipment
A die casting machine is a central investment in the production process. If machine availability, precision, control technology or process reliability decline, a new machine is not always necessary. A targeted revision can extend service life and reliably reintegrate the machine into the production process.
FISS combines experience in the used machinery market with technical expertise, project management and a network of experienced partner companies. Planning and engineering, reconditioning and modernization, dismantling and reassembly of complete production lines, logistics, assembly, commissioning and employee training can be combined according to the specific project.
Video
Reconditioning of cold chamber die casting machines
The video presents the reconditioning of a cold chamber die casting machine. The focus is on restoring machine performance, creating an economical alternative to a new purchase and technically upgrading existing equipment.
Depending on the condition of the machine, FISS can carry out functional control, closing unit overhaul, partial overhaul or general overhaul and prepare the machine for renewed production use.
Scope of service
Scaled reconditioning according to condition and target
Not every die casting machine requires the same scope. FISS checks the technical starting point, production requirements and budget and defines the appropriate level of revision.
Functional Control
Testing of basic machine functions, condition assessment and evaluation of necessary measures.
Closing Unit Overhaul
Overhaul of the closing unit and relevant assemblies to improve precision and machine availability.
Partial Overhaul
Targeted repair of individual systems such as hydraulics, electrics, control system, valves, spindles or peripherals.
General Overhaul
Comprehensive revision including inspection, repair, modernization, documentation and optional commissioning.
Machine types
Cold chamber and hot chamber die casting machines
FISS reconditions both cold chamber and hot chamber die casting machines. Depending on machine type, manufacturer, year of manufacture and application, the revision can have different priorities.
Cold Chamber Die Casting Machines
Suitable for aluminium, magnesium or copper alloys. The focus can include the closing unit, casting unit, hydraulics, control system, plates, peripherals and system integration.
Hot Chamber Die Casting Machines
Suitable for alloys with a lower melting point. Typical measures include functional control, cleaning, crack inspection, closing unit overhaul, partial overhaul and general overhaul.
Project process
From analysis to recommissioning
Record Condition
Machine type, manufacturer, technical data, condition, fault pattern and production requirements are recorded.
Define Measures
FISS defines together with you which revision level is technically and economically appropriate.
Carry Out Revision
Mechanics, hydraulics, electrics, control system, peripherals and assemblies are inspected, repaired or modernized.
Secure Integration
After completion, inspection, documentation, reassembly, commissioning and employee training can follow.
Technical focus
What can be checked during a die casting machine revision
The specific implementation depends on condition, machine type and project target. FISS can repair individual assemblies in a targeted way or modernize the machine comprehensively.
- Functional control and technical condition analysis
- Closing unit overhaul and inspection of the closing unit
- Overhaul of mechanics, hydraulics and electrical components
- Modernization of machine control and process monitoring
- Repair of assemblies, valves, spindles and components
- Cleaning, crack inspection and machining of relevant machine surfaces
- Integration of peripheral equipment, automation and system environment
- Logistics, assembly, reassembly and commissioning
All-round service
FISS not only offers the technical revision, but also planning, engineering, dismantling, transport, assembly, commissioning and training of your employees if required.
